why does the canister not go all the way in to the yes and stay there

The previous responses basically cover most everything I'd suggest. About all I can add is to make sure there isn't an issue with the interface between the motor housing and the bin (canister). The two need to be able to seat against each other perfectly so that flour doesn't leak out while the mill is in use. Make sure the square seal on the top of the lid is properly in place.

Is the problem that it isn't going in all the way, or that it just flops back out? My guess is that it's an issue with getting the lid on properly. As another responder noted, the lid seal needs lubricated if it's too clean. It also needs to be latched into the grooves above the handles on the canister. You have to be fairly firm with the canister to make it go in all the way, I like bracing the mill with one hand & giving the canister a sharp tap with the other to make it seat. If the canister is just flopping out, be sure that you are putting the lid on the canister before inserting it.That's all my ideas.

Sometimes you have to push a little harder than you would think...you should hear kind of a "pop" as it snaps into place. I was afraid of breaking it the first few times until I got used to pushing that hard. :)

I am not certain how much pressure you are using to put it in place. Mine kind of pops in when I put it in. If the lid is not on correctly or if there is something behind the canister, it will not go home and stay. I have used mine too many times to count (every weekend) and had no problems. You might want to check the seal around the spout that the flour come out of also. Could be something there. If it doesn't "pop" in you have a problem for customer service.

I had watched the video's and read many of the nutrimil reviews and many of them stated to make sure that you hear the click before you proceed. I have not had any issues with mine as I gently tilt the machine back a bit and then slide it in and listen for the attachment. Hope this helps.

Mine goes all the way in, I ask you to read the manual, if you have used the mill more than 3 times you need to use vegetable oil around the rubber seal so the canister will go in and stay snug, Also you can call customer service they will be glad to answer any questions you may have

The canister should not have a top on it. Sounds like the part that holds the spring got stuck to the tail clicky. When I open mine there is just an open slot for the battery and that is all.

I Have had this problem, and it is a very easy fix. Make sure that the black hose connector is inserted correctly into the canister (lever facing the primer button). I believe that when this piece is inserted backwards there are check valves that do not allow flow in the proper direction. This is a design flaw, it would be very easy to design the piece so it only fits in the canister in the correct orientation.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

it won't fall in the canister if its put in the vacuum properly...the card board slides in the grooves

Have you emptied the contairner and made sure there are no remnants at the back keeping it from going in fully? You can also swing the funnel out and then open the door and that will allow you access to any extra grounds that may have fallen through.

Hey dave, unfortunately I was unable to get this canister to work for me. Sorry I was not able to answer this question for you.

It should have come with a wrench shaped to fit the canister. Use it to turn the canister counter clockwise. If it's been a while since you had it off then it may be very tight like mine was. I had to hold it tight & bang the wrench a bit to get it started loosening the last time i cleaned mine, but never had an issue before that.

What part of the canister do you feel the air blowing out? If near the bottom of the canister, you may have worn gaskets/seals or haven't completely attached the canister to the very bottom parts. Since the air is drawn upwards in the vacuum, no air should be blowing out of the bottom of the canister. I hope this helps you.

Sometimes the gate will not close all the way but it should. I think ours did this but after some use it stopped. Hope that makes sense.

I tried to replicate this issue with both of mine and could not. Sometimes if you do not have the prongs lined up correctly with the center piece the lid will not advance correctly but it will not keep spinning around. I think you may have a defective one. A return would be my suggestion.

Well the air exaust port is on the top of the canister and is filtered so it pretty much expells air in a straight colum of air. You really have to be over the vacuum to feel the exaust.

You can't lay the canister filter on it's side. . Must be in the upright position.

That will happen with this model it opens little more than half way. That's to avoid tipping over when drawer is full. Hope this was helpful

I have had the same problem and I found out it happens the most when the fuel canister if full. Make sure to hole the canister so the threads are up as if the canister is setting on the ground when you thread it on. thread on slowly until you feel it getting tight then quickly turn it on to avoid excess spay. You will notice the difference that very little if any comes out.

If you open the lid fully until you feel it click it will stay in that position. Kind of like how a car door has that open point where it won't swing shut.
