Any tips for prying the blue lid off? If even 1 or two sticks are not PERFECT it seems impossible- can't return so trying to make it useable

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

I turn on the faucet and let it sit under it until they can be worked free. I never get all of my sticks strait, but with a little patience they come out perfect! I really love this mold, just remember the warm tap water makes them easy to pull out of the mold and to remove the top.

I LOVE mine and I have used it tons. Trick is to not overfill...also soak the sticks in water for an hour before putting in the mold. That will keep the stick from pulling up as the pop freezes. I unmold all of mine at the same time and wrap them in Saran, I never store them in the mold. Ordering 2 more...there are so many awesome recipes and I don't think we will ever buy store bought again

people..its a popsicle mold..of course you need to fuss with it a bit to release the frozen goodie. a little patience and warm water does the trick.

Steve we find that we have to warm it a little with water or just let it set at room temp. And yes it helps to get the sticks in right. Don't send it back, learn how to work it. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!!!

Yes with a bit of effort. The lid was difficult to remove from the sticks, maybe I used standard popsicle sticks though.

I have been buying this product for years and have never had this issue like this one. Some one strong than yourself to open it :-)), or a rubber lid gripper you can find in most grocery stores. Good Luck, it's a great product!

There is a tan colored slide lock on both lids. Slide it towards the outside. o me the lock is a waste of time it stays closed without it. The you grab the center wavy plastic part of the lid and turn it so the arrows line up then lift up. Sometimes it gets hard to open so I close it back then try again or try the other lid. If the arrows are lined up you may need to pry it up maybe the store glued it on or something.

I'm not aware of any place to unscrew the lid! If you want, you can text me a picture at 443-794-0735. I should think it can probably be removed, but mine looks like the picture. Does the sticker cover the button or one of the ports?

I haven't see the lid by itself, but I have a feeling that if someone would contact Nordic Ware directly, I bet they could help you with a new lid. I have had great success with going direct to handle a problem. Give it a try and good luck!

You should just be able to lift up the whole top whith the lid. Unscrew the 2 back things holding it, and push the whole thing forward and it should go up. First take off the top where the controls are. And unplug the latch.

tighten the panning knob which locks the pan by the bottom. Then rotate the head anti-clockwise with a quick jolt when you start. Try this a few times. It should hopefully help you remove the head. It's worked for me several times. Good luck!

The blue lid does not fit tight. However, after the sticks are in, they hold the top in place. I used a knife under the blue top to pry it off after my fruit pops were frozen. Hope this helps.

Help-- I cannot figure out how to get the inner chamber seal off. I tried a screwdriver, pliers, my fingers, they do not fit!!! how do you open this stuff??

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

Same thing happened to me on the large one, my husband is very handy and he took the lid apart and there was a wire that got disconnected, he was able to fix it, if it wasnt for him than it would still not be working. If you filled out the product registration than you can contact the company and they will replace it.

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

It is very odd to open I had trouble when I received mine also. Instead of using the lip on the lid, grab the smooth sides beside the lip and pull to open.
