I am putting diapers in, pushing them down, but they never fall down. What am I doing wrong?

Are you pulling enough of the blue liner/bag down? I tie a knot at the end and pull it till it is long enough to hit the bottom when the genie lid is closed. Once it starts to fill up and I notice the diapers don't drop down anymore, that is when I empty. I also notice it works better on a hard surface rather than carpet. I hope this helps you.

If the lid isn't open all the way, the internal mechanism may not be open wide enough for the diapers to go through. However, if they are going through that part near the top, it may just be that they don't really fall to the bottom. I noticed that the diaper genie liners are pretty narrow, and diapers tend to be pushed down by the diaper on top of them more than they actually drop to the bottom of the pail.

If it is like our unit it is because the foot pedal is not opening the "jaws" that let diapers fall. Option 2: if the jaws are opening then perhaps it is necessary to open unit and pull bag down to give more space. Unlike twist unit the diapers don't drop on their own.

Don't know that your doing anything wrong. We just step on the pedal, drop the diaper in, and let go of the pedal and it pulls it down. When you change your bag are you pulling it through some and then tying the knot? That might could be a problem. Maybe when you change the bag pull down about a 1/2 to a foot of bag tie knot and then see if that helps maybe its just been to snug. We love ours.

Make sure have fed the bag all the way to the bottom of the Pail and of course step on the level

I do the same thing and my cushions never slide. They are pretty big and immobile.

You Need to squeeze the two plastic pieces and then push up. I hope this helps.

They're not supposed to move; yours must be defective. Be careful not to burn yourself should they fall off completely during use. I'd stop using and return it. Mine works perfectly in case you're wondering about the product.

They shouldn't snap into each other, but should slide down into each other, locking in place. Otherwise, I don't know

They stay up but I don't remember them locking in place. I remember just folding them down to use.

Its a common problem with cloth diapers in general, not just prefolds. I used a all-in-one pocket diaper for my LO (supposedly the trimmest cloth diaper on the market) and still had to go up a size in pants.

They can be stacked in a tidy fashion, and their weight adds some stability, howver they do not actually 'click' together, so there is nothing to prevent them from sliding apart if pushed. I hope this helps.

No just raise them and place directly on the toilet and tighten in place. I had a problem with mine in that it would stay securely tightenen

I have not had any issues with this and my baby weighs 20 lbs and bounces like crazy in this thing. Maybe it isn't put together correctly?

Sorry, don't know about diapers - that was a long time ago - but what I put in for a load full - I upend the box and go around the load twice - seems to work. I use powder because it is not perfumed and liquid is.

We don't seem to have this problem. Be sure all the packing tape has been removed, and also if you put down the stablelizing bar, that you put it up to close. We just pull up on the seat and push in. Hope you have better luck.

They do go up in down. Make sure that you have an Invacare wheel, if not they will not fix. I found that I needed to remove the foot pedal because my legs were longer. Good luck.

Mine do not fall off. They clicked on and now I would have to use something to force it off if I had to.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

They don't exactly lock into place. There is grooves they set in to keep them in place. I have not had problems with them moving so it seems to work for me.

Hi, they have a seam that is expandable, neither my husband nor I have ever had any trouble with them rolling or sliding down. They stay in place.
