It seems to have some reason to not accept filling, is something stuck?

I agree with everything that Bob said. The only thing I would add is for you to contact the manufacturer, tell them the problem, even if you fix it yourself. They will replace it. I've already had that experience and overtime the handle parts separated again on my sprayer. I did call and they immediately sent out a complete new handle and pump replacement. Wonderful customer service. I love this sprayer because it's so easy to use. I may buy another one to use just for herbicides

One thing I remember happening is, if the black collar around the red pump handle is loose, you can accidentally remove the pump handle/piston without removing the black cylinder the piston goes into. If that happens, you won't be able to fill the tank, as it remains blocked by the black cylinder. If you have removed the handle correctly, you should have a clear view right down into the tank with nothing in the way to stop water from going in. If the opening appears blocked by black plastic, re-insert the pump handle and tighten the black plastic collar on the pump handle onto threads at the top of the black plastic cylinder. At that point, when you unscrew the handle assembly from the tank, the cylinder should come out with the handle, leaving the opening unblocked. If I recall correctly, the same thing happened to me the first time I went to use it, as they shipped it with the collar loose. Once I tightened it firmly, it never happened again. Pretty nice sprayer.

Did you try the different sized inserts? I would up using the smallest one. Hope that helps!

Check feeder for food clogging. You can also email the company, they are very helpful.

Try unscrewing it and make sure it's not clogged, I've not had this problem, so I hope this works for you. My daughter loves this stuff.

It's probably because you overfilled it and/or used the wrong paddle. I always try to fill just below the fill line because it doesn't take much to overfill (the line is under the word "MAX").

I have not yet encountered this issue and by the time I'm done filling it I'm cramming the lid shut. It might have to do with the density of the solution. It's also possible that having too little in the blender causes it to blend very quickly, throwing the contents around more.

Pull the salt top section off - just above the black seal. You can fill from top. Hope this helps.

Yes. I did exactly that. Just opened up an end, took out some filling and sewed it back up . Warning...the filling goes everywhere and sticks to everything. But, it worked.

I haven't had that problem. You gotta make sure you bleed it before you fill it. That may help.

Hi Jennifer, I have the same problem too (also, I chronically salivate no matter what). Once I get the trays in, I put a small piece of gauze in at the same time to try and absorb the drool...its a pain to put something else in there at the same time, but it helped. Wish I could think of other ways -- if I do, I'll let you know. :)

I haven't had that problem; but suspect you can solve it by bending the silver tabs it slides onto out a little. Or chewing gumor similar temporary sticky substance (don't know it's official title; but we call it "elephant dung" which should work.

I think the most important part is to leave that last inch or so empty when filling them, I've frozen them both on their side and upright and only had one issue with one I filled a little too much (but it was frozen before popping open so I had no mess, just a warning to be careful)

I tried filling it just short of the top allowing for expansion. However it still creates the split line. Dont think it is avoidable.

It's possible the tube is clogged, especially if you are using powdered formula. Otherwise, you may consider contacting Medela directly for phone support.

Make sure your bowl is locked into place. Not sure what else could be the problem. (?Using the correct attachment.)

I am guessing you mean the tab for filling the dispenser? Just lift off the tiny "lip" down below the handle. Okay sorry--seriously, it could be defective---for every product out there there is at least ONE that is defective. Just return it & get a new one---make sure you mark it as "defective"----this is a really great product--I have had mine now for 9 months & use it way more than the average person as I am a chef by trade---I will be buying another one soon b/c I have pretty much worn it out even on HOT pans---awesome product & you won't be sorry!

Are you trying to make soup inside of the metal insert? That might not work. Try going on to YOUTUBE and watching an instructional video. I am not sure how it is possible for a soup to dry up.
