Has anyone had problems with the lid to the filter strainer? We can not get it to fit (one side will not go all the way down).

Had difficulty with an air leak at that same location/ re-lubricated the O-ring and the " threads" on the cap and used the pump suction to " seat " the cover prior to locking in position.

Mine fit snug without a problem. Maybe you can try to put tape around the part that goes in the hole so it can fit tighter.

I thought the same thing happened to me. It was actually the filter bubbling over. Check to be sure your filter is pushed down all the way and is not popping up after you close the lid. Also make sure the tank is not too full. You may want to occasionally check that filter. Rinse it with water to be sure it stays down. Good luck. Hope this helps.

We had no problem....we placed the lid on the bucket then my husband pushed down one section at a time which snapped the lid on. One bucket we had a screw on lid and the part that snaps on the bucket did so in the same manner as explained above. A friend did have a problem solved with a rubber mallet...perhaps that would help you. OR, send them back...maybe you got a bad batch?

take the lid off the composter and pull the filter out through the opening...after washing, fit it back in

Mine fits snugly. I do notice that if the bottom screen, etc., is not tightly screwed to the lid stem, it isn't as tight a fit, so you might try checking that. If that doesn't work, I would return it as defective.

Randy, the same thing happened to me last year. It ended up being that the little nipple which the filter depresses against when screwed on had somehow chipped off. I ended up having to replace the entire filter assembly (which was quite easy to do).

My top, the end with the little funnel, comes off as an assembly with a quarter turn to the left (lefty loosey - righthy tighty). As Lionel says, the assembly is glued, although my funnel slips off (not glued). There is a rubber seal that may be the reason yours is sticking so tightly because I've had a similar problem with whole house water filter that wouldn't unscrew due to a tight rubber seal.

have you had better luck with your filter? Just received mine, have hooked it up but can't get suction. Have primed it, filled the tank first, as mentioned in another post. Have not shortened the length of the tubing as yet. Any advice?

Hi Lev, I've never had that problem! You say that the water collects on top of the filter, which tells me that you may have the center piece upside down like a dome, you need to turn it over like a bowl so after it goes thru the ceramic filter it has time to go thru the 5 stage filter, also make sure that the nut on the bottom of the ceramic is tight!

Hi Mona, Make sure that the main unit or the charcoal filter inside is not in backwards I did this once and it drove me nuts late at night. I came back in the morning and found my problem. ALso the cover should slide without any resistance.

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.

No mine has worked fine since I bought it in 2013. I use it almost everyday.Perhaps the front where filters go isn't closed properly or its unbalanced.

I would call or post the company! It sounds like your helper handle was attached incorrectly. Mine looks like the picture and I cannot see how the lid fits if the handle is tipping towards the inside. Good luck!

are you talking about the round strainer that you screw on where the pump sucks water into the filer ?? respond to davidwineriter@gmail.com

i am serious when i advise the following: the rubber o rings on end may need a little lubrication... wet them and really push the filter in and turn. if ya have to use some pliers and gently turn to twist. ive changed many filters and as long as filter is correct for the refrig follow what i suggest.

I was wondering if every one has trouble with turning the filter holder in place. It takes an army.. Not new to machines.. thought I knew what i was doingthanks
