In the lid, i see a small notch in the plastic just inside of (closer to the center) the white rubber gasket. What is that? Is my lid defectiv?

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

no its a seal to make sure your bottle does not leak. extra protection, its in my bottle to. Your bottle should be ok. i have had my bottle for about ten months with no problems. it is a very good bottle and durable too. i bought a mexpredtion bottle crrier for it it keep ice for a long while and drink cold for a very long while. i think tje carrier measures around 8x10 . I hope this helps you out.

Could be the large gasket or roller inside. The gasket is awful to replace.

Sounds like the gasket is not seated properly (check first), or not tightened sufficiently to prevent a leak.

The lid with the Hamilton Beach model I have, does not have a rubber gasket around the glass lid.....it has some kind of metal around the lid.

I replaced this quite a while ago, but you should just be able to unscrew black nut that holds the green top part (that holds the gasket in place) very easily. And then just reverse the process. Take a look at some of the other reviews for some good pointers. Good luck.

Trish, this model does not have the rubber gasket. It does come with a rubber band type of object that is made for securing the lid during transport. I have not used the band so I can not comment on how well it works.

Make sure the gasket is seated correctly and there is nothing in the lid channel. Otherwise it should just drop on and you twist to seal.

Well, I don't -- I just check the valve to see if I can see daylight through the hole. If you don't see food particles, you're probably OK. More important, in my opinion, is not letting the round rubber seal in the lid go too long before you take it out, wash it, and re-oil it with vegetable oil. You don't want that to get brittle.

If what you are describing are a series of narrow, rectangular, spaces, on the side of the lid, I also have them. If you look inside the lid, you will see that they hold \a white gasket in place. The 1 larger rectangular space is part of the locking mechanism. Enjoy your cooker, I think it was worth every penny.

There is what I'd call a gasket inside the lid groove; don't know if it's silicone, but it does seal well - not just plastic on plastic.

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

I received a message from Amazon suggesting I respond to your question because I had reviewed this blender. Actually, a spare gasket (if you mean that circular white/clear rubber band type thingie) was included with my blender. It didn't help because the blender itself does not work at all (so sound, no action). It was a gift so I don't know where to return it and an email to the manufacturer has not been answered. (I am guessing Amazon.com wishes they hadn't asked me to respond!!)

there is a rubber ring around the outside of the rim. it acts as a leak preventive. it is kind of like the washer in a blender between the jar and the blade, but it has a groove that overlaps the lid and fits into around the edge. really makes it leak resistant

Not sure what the inner lid is, but the vent cap (inside on the lid) is removable for cleaning. The rubber gasket(lack of a better word) is not, but can easily be wiped clean.

I have same problem, It is not the lid but the "O" ring. The "O" ring becomes swollen and then makes the lid hard to shut. However I have replaced with a new one and it is still hard to remove and install. I am in the process of trying to trouble shoot this problem so I can share with others what to do.

You are missing the gasket on the lid if it leaks , I have the same one and it doesn't leak a drop , go to Thermos website for gasket !!

I have the same problem. The rubber gasket on the lid expands causing it to jam up when you try to screw it on. unfortunately they don't just sell the replacement gaskets, you have to buy a new lid.I bought a replacement lid for mine and I rotate between the two and that helps. I'll use one lid for a couple weeks until it starts getting tight and then I'll switch to the other lid. This gives the rubber gasket on the lid not in use time to shrink back down to normal size.
