Problem with assembly: what is the secret to getting the measuring cup to stay in place? mine doesn't seem to have a grove to fit into.

Hold the cup with the handle slightly angled to the left, and turn counterclockwise (to your right). That should snap it into place. Not too much effort needed.

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.

sometimes the top plastic comes loose , I've put two small pieces of gaffer tape to keep it in place. good luck

I had the same problem. I kept fiddling with the alignment of the parts - rotating and locking, etc - and I finally got it right. I was almost ready to give up though. I wish I could remember the sequence and rotation of the parts, for you.

I understand exactly what you're talking about. I had that same problem. Try to do it BEFORE you mount it on the wall. In other words. play around with it a little and see if you can do it WITHOUT mounting first. I just checked mine and it is sitting perfectly, but it can be a pain to get it right. It WILL fit, but it will try your patience first.

Turn the mug around and put the top on. I've just tried it, it works both ways. good luck

The holes on the base can be a bit out of alignment like happened to me. Turn the base bottom side up and do a little twisting of the heavy weight to make it work. Hope this helps.

1. Be sure the rubber foot cups have the flat side down -- this will help level the unit and minimize sliding. 2 - tale legs apart and reassemble tightly. 3 - use unit on a flat surface using a firm chair (like a kitchen chair). Past all that I don't know.

Try this:- Remove the table top by unscrewing the four bolts under the top. - Put two washers under the two outside bolts (farthest away from the pedestal)- Re-attach the top tightening it just enough to see if it is level. If it is level, tighten it completely- If it is not level, add more washers until it is level. Hope it works. I bought this table and sent it back because it had no manual, instructions, casters and my table top had a rise in the middle and dishes would wobble on it.How is your table? Is the tray itself really smooth and level? Were there any instructions beyond the assembly diagram?Customer service at Carex is very helpful. They have a website and toll-free number if you need it.

Mine didn't fit together either, which was one of the many reasons I was going to return it. When Amazon told me to just keep it or throw it away, I gave it to a neighbor who used his own screws to get it together.

That's weird! Its almost like the machine is permamently in "Cafe" mode. What are you setting the "cup size" to?

I had the same problem at first. There's a knob at the bottom of the machine near the footplate (the diagram in the manual calls it the "short knob"); you need to pull this knob out and then slide the base of the machine out so that it extends fully. If nothing moves when you pull the knob, jiggle it a bit and keep pulling. It's a bit sticky but if you keep at it, you'll get it. It's easier to do with two people, but I managed it by myself too. Once you extend the machine, keep pulling until the short knob snaps back into a hole near the top--just keep looking for a hole in the metal bars. When the machine is fully extended, the seat will slide back and forth like it's supposed to. Hope this helps.

I'm having trouble with this too. Just did a little experiment: the problem is the glass cup and not the steel handle, because no matter which handle I use on one particular cup, it slips off. Washing and drying the exterior of the cup didn't help.

mine is always a little bit off center, never can get it just right, but it's not all the way around by the handle... that would be frustrating!

Hi there - there is a knack to it. I tilt the basket slightly and make sure the top lines up with the raised part on the mower. And then it just sits in place. I know it is frustrating. I will try to take some pictures and upload.

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.

Hi Jamie, we had the same problem. You just need to keep wiggling them until they finally drop into place. I was sure ours were too short for our chairs at first too. Love the chairs once we got them assembled
