Filter popping off: Any suggestions?
446403
There is not enough air flow across the filter. If it can not go through the filter it creates a higher than normal pressure on the inside of the filter. This higher pressure is greater than the latch holding force and pops off. Our vacuum did this after washing the filters. There was still to much moisture on the elements stopping the air from passing through. I blew it out with my air compressor and it fixed the problem.

The filter cover just pops off, inside there is a black plastic piece. Pull it out and the filter will come out. Otherwise you can just clean it while still attached to the dryer with a dry soft bristle brush.

It's definitely the filter, if you have a new filter replace it if not take the filter out and see if it still happens, I had a exact same problem, replacing the filter took care of it. I even tried to clean the filter but that didn't help.

The filter holder should lift out of the water tank. You can replace the filter and slide it back in to place.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

It should unscrew in the counter clockwise direction. Try tapping the filter gently with a wooden spoon or something like that to break it free.

The filter should have the black plastic grid on BOTH front & back sides of the foam, which should prevent the situation you describe. Good luck, and return it if truly defective.

We had the same problem - evidently we may have waited too long to change the filter and so much pressure built up in the chamber that it ruined the plastic threads in the cap. We had to use some large channel lock pliers to turn the cap out and ruined the threads in the process. We contacted customer support about the problem and they replaced the unit - hope this helps

This happen to me once and I hope this will solve your problem. I just change a new filter.

My filter box has a built in hand hold that I simple pull on and the cover comes off. It snaps back in very securely. If yours has a place for you hand then would recommend giving it a good healthy tug.

I haven't experienced this problem yet...be sure to rinse the filter as instructed prior to placing it in place; and be sure you haven't installed it backwards...not much help--I know, but all I can think of.

Unless they have changed the design since I bought mine, the plastic tab that holds them together screws apart to remove them. Look at both sides of the tab, on one side it is slotted to put a coin or screwdriver in to take it apart. Unscrew the tab by holding the back side and using a coin or screwdriver take the tab apart and then remove the filter you want and screw the tab back together to when finished. Don't over tighten it when screwing it back together.

Have you rechecked the "in" & "out" ports, or is there a packing plug? I'd remove the filter again, and blow thru the ports to see if that is where the ressistance is- ie: the filter or the Moeller top assembly. Let me know, Jim

When you go to screw on the bottom cap, just push down and tighten it more than you did with the paper filter. If the cap falls off you need to tighten it more. It becomes second nature and you won't even have to think about it anymore.

This will happen with virtually any filter medium, for a little while, whenever you first add the new filter substrate.....You can reduce {but not eliminate}this effect , by rinsing the filter media prior to installation....

Mine *DOES* come off. There should be a cylinder-like section sticking up out of the mesh part an inch or two? Push that to the side. It'll pop off; it and the filter/mesh screen are all one part. Then give it a good scrubbing with a toothbrush and pop in the dishwasher.I'm on my second Tea Maker; the first one lasted me nearly three years.
