Hi Edward, The nozzle unscrews the other way - turn it to right to loosen it. I know it's counter-intuitive, but try wrapping a rubber band on it, and turn it to the right, and it should loosen. It's odd that it should come assembled. Hope this helps.

Lefty losey, righty tighty is not the rule on the juicer. Lefty tighty, Righty losey does it. I guess it is done this way so that regular use will not back the screws out. Hope this helps.

I say if you cant get it off send it back and get a new one. Or maybe try some soap?

Hello. I have the same problem but it's a basic juicer not a fancy/expensive one that juices everything.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

Try unscrewing it and make sure it's not clogged, I've not had this problem, so I hope this works for you. My daughter loves this stuff.

The pulp is fairly dry. I tried putting the pulp back in the juicer and i really didnt get much of anything the second time through.

Yes. The pulp bin doesn't lock into place but just has two little nubs it rests on. I've been able to just lift it out to do this without popping the top of the juicer off.

I cut up the apple so I don't put the core in the juicer. So far it hasn't given any pulp

Have you tried pushing down the cap and turning once or twice, then just normally? It's got a catch or something that you have to push it down under to then unscrew it from how I get it openHope this helpsSofia

It doesn't unscrew, it is a press fit. I took a pair of pliers and squeezed hard and twisted the tip out then just pushed the new tip on using the pliers on metal edges of the tip. Hope that helps.

Juicer will not turn on unless fully assembled with handle up and locked. This is a safety feature. Switch is then on side

have u tried running machine w water first? i ask because any sediment in juice or bubbles in pop will cause this issue. if you have already put ur juice or pop in, transfer it to another container and flush the system w water to get the pulp out of the tubes-- or wash them--then go for it again. it takes a few minutes for the liquid to make it to the top, it did this exact thing on me when i had hawaian tropic punch and seven up in and it may be not gaining ground bc of juice pulp or carbination from soda

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Try asking a little kid to unscrew it. I was able to unscrew mine without a problem. Enjoy Richie, my students LOVED Richie. I have since given it to my kids for their kids, I hope their taking care of him.

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

Hello, good question. I lost my piece of the juicer too, and just put a piece of tape over the hole where it originally resided. There are several replacement part online stores: Search for: Jack Lalanne's JLSS Poer Juicer Replacement Parts. There is always eBay that carries many replacement parts for this juicer. It may be worth it to just purchase the unit section that houses the spout. Lots of luck. I always thought that if it broke, I would just buy another one since the price on Amazon was so reasonable.

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)
