I have three of these dispensers. I seem to be having trouble with them sticking down after awhile. What can I do to get them going again?

The dispenser may have sucked up full thickness soap or foam has gotten into theta air reservoir. I add the soap to the bottom line and add warm or hot water to 1/2" below the bottom line. You must not shake or create foam before adding the plunger. I mix the soap to dilute using a stick (chopstick), then add the plunger. If your top air reservoir already is filled with water and foam, you may be lucky enough to pull it open by slightly squeezing and pulling apart (with out cracking it...luck), then draining it. Reassemble and try again. Hope this works for you.

I've had similar problem with one side often getting stuck. Solution, try using Saran Wrap to line the mold. Works every time.

I have the same problem and these take a little work to get it to stay but it's way better than anything else that I've tried.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

About all I would do is start removing shrouds, until I got in to the problem; and then, either removing the problem material or inserting something between the sticky and whatever it's sticking to. Ya just gotta do what ya gotta -- 'til it works.

Put some soap in it and try to run soap through until it comes out. You may need to pull down on the dispenser tip

The same thing happened to me! I had another bottle that was almost empty so I was able to substitute one dispenser for another. I think that they are defective and should be returned.

It takes awhile to get them started. Don't fill them too full and pump away until they start and they will. I shake mine down sometimes if they are too thick.

I have found that the first time it is hard to get them to stay, try running them thru the dishwasher on the to rack, and see it if it easier. I was super frustrated with them trying to use them the first coupe of times. But they seem to get better after a couple of uses. Hope this helps u.

Make sure that the solution bottle is pushed down all the way in the holder. Mine does the same if it is not all the way in the holder. Hope that works for you!

You may have a coffee ground stuck in the dispenser. I take the back tank off, and turn it upside down and clean it with a toothbrush when this happens. Rinse well. Good luck!

I have had this problem too but have found that there are kinks in different areas of the tubing & so I just get the kinks out & the sprayers work again.

I recently bought mine and have had the same problem. Due to the awful weather, I have taken mine down. I have coated the end of the rod with Vaseline and will use the tape as others suggested when I put it back up. Also, I dig down a little in the soil before putting the pole up to give more support.

Hi, I can't answer that question, but when I received two of these, the "beak" or tube from the dispenser was rolling around in the box and I was convinced it was broken. It seems to attach with just a friction fit, so firmly pushing it in the hole on the push button holds it well for me. I guess glue would be a definite solution. If, though, yours is lost or missing, this won't help!! William

sometimes mine gets a bit stuck. I just wiggle the spout a bit to loosen it and it works. If not, I do replace mine every 2 years or so as it will give up.
