The styrofoam ring that floats inside this bowl has come apart in pieces over time. How do I replace this part of the bowl?

I took that piece out of my bowls, I don't use them , but I assume you can contact the company and see if they can replace it for you.

I do t know, if you find out please post. I'm looking also. Mold is forming on the water bowl. Im thinKing look for collapsible bowls of the same size

You could try contacting the manufacturer for a replacement piece... http://www.petmate.com/

We had the same problem with ours. I don't think we want to invest in a new bowl because it will just crack again. We are going to try a sealant to get us through until we can purchase one that can hold up during the winter months.

The lock plate has a lip around it to hold the bowl - not high, probably a 1/16 of an inch. The old plate had worn the lip down to the point where it was flat from one side to the other on the plate. Nothing to hold the bowl. Time for replacement.

I would try an o-ring (same diameter as the old one) from Home Depot or Lowes. Probably the most cost effective place to purchase replacement "rubber bands." Good luck.

Probably just need to replace the belt. Should be a cheap part and an easy replacement - it's essentially a large rubber band underneath the platter. May have gotten stretched due to heat or some other factor.

Please explain question further. Do you own one of these, and, after use, the components won't separate ? If so, which two pieces won't come apart....the two clear plastic pieces of the bowl, or the clear plastic bowl top and the red motor ? I would first try looking up the Oster customer service number or email on line for advice, since forcing the plastic components might break them. I could suggest several things to try if you can't reach them, if you explain a little more about what's going on. If you are asking for information before purchasing, the three components simply nest together and are held normally only by gravity, since the motor only runs when yo press down on the unit from above.

I had the same problem. I removed the plastic piece in the hole and it was a little better but I stopped using it. It was becoming too much of a hassle to deal with it.

I cleaned my unit and checked all the O-rings but there is a rubber diaphragm at the top of the unit internally that I finally discovered and it had several small splits...not repairable, so I'm ordering a new assembly. This will be my 2nd replacement in 10 years so they seem to last pretty well.

Unscrew the bottom of the blender if the old ring will not come off with a little prying with the tip go a fork or thin screw driver. soak the part the ring is stck to in warm soapy water and it should come loose. Sometimes the ring gets tacky in old age. Good luck

I've purchased replacement parts (sporks) through the zojurishi website. You might call and ask.

It's not a ring, it's solid, like a cap that fits under the metal cap. It is removable, pretty easily. As to whether you can find a replacement, I don't know. You'll have to contact the manufacturer.

I hope the answer below is helpful, because I have been unable to find a replacement bowl - and I have tried. I really like this particular birdbath, so I ordered another one for this winter. This past summer I used the old base to place a very large hanging basket on.

I have a Sunbean mixer from the late 80's. I broke the glass bowl not so long ago when it slipped out of my hands and off my counter. I replaced it with the stainless steel bowl and it fits perfectly and works well. I was so happy to find a replacement.

I haven't had to. It seems like you can just rinse it out and it will be fine. I usually sit it under water and it's fine. As long as it's not ripped. Not sure how to replace it though.
