If it really bothers you, do this 1. disposable 25 cent gloves 2. Urnex or similar coffee machine cleaner. Their basic multipurpose blue liquid is best for home use 3. Sponge with very hot water + one squirt of Urnex. 30 seconds and you're done. Coffee cleaner is a detergent particularly formulated to dissolve coffee crud. In a minute it cleans out more embedded coffee than an hour of soaking. That is much better than attacking your stuff with bleach, abrasive cleaners or the dishwasher, any of which can damage fancy things.

I haven't used gaskets with them (it never occurred to me) and I find they tend to leak. Maybe using gaskets would fix that.

Look at your water tank. It should have a plug and then the ring around it to screw it closed. Maybe there is something wrong with the gasketing mechanism?

They are out of business. I had one of these and it died the third time I used it so I called the company and they are not taking orders or giving any service....If you still want a gasket I would look on ebay.Good luck

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

Mine became loose, as well. I carefully removed the gasket, then placed a rubber band on the lid. Lastly, I carefully placed the original gasket on top of the rubber band. It now has a tighter fit than when I first purchased it.

Trish, this model does not have the rubber gasket. It does come with a rubber band type of object that is made for securing the lid during transport. I have not used the band so I can not comment on how well it works.

Head gaskets are under a lot of pressure! Again I really don't think it will work.

I used some Teflon tape on the threads. No gasket. Probably don't need the tape but it can't hurt.

Yes there is a thin rubber gasket but they wear out after lots and lots of use. However, these gaskets are replaceable at local hardware stores for a nominal charge.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

I was having the same exact problem and i couldnt figure it out. My assistant played with it and I think she put the gasket at the bottom or something and now it works. Unfortunately i didnt fix it, she did i dont know how to help you. I would suggest that you change the order in which the parts are inside the handle and see if you can get it to work.

im not sure , but just make sure the hoses are screwed tight enough, and double check to see if the rubber gasket is inside the hose as well...i have used this everyday for over 2 months and its perfectly fine... great product..

Seems obvious, but make the valve is completely off before attaching. Also ensure that the o-ring/gasket is still intact, if it is damaged or missing, you'll have virtually no barrier to stop gas from leaking out around the threads.

contact the manufacturer, it's possible that the rubber seal is under warranty.Mine failed in the first few months - it was replaced without trouble (they sent me a new door)
