I had a handle pop off, and now it won't stay on. Anyone else experience the same? Solution to keep handle on?

Haven't had that problem. However, you could likely take a pair of pliers and "squeeze" to help it fit better (if it's the bottom part - under the glass)

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.

I haven't had that happen, but my husband did. He just slipped it back on and squeezed it in place. It hasn't happened since. I'd contact the seller and have them replaced if they couldn't be fixed. Good luck!

I have the same issue. I use one cup more than the other 3 and after one month of usage the metal handle popped off. I tried to put it back but it would not stay on. I'm trying to contact the seller but I don't know how to?

if it's new out of the box and the handle won't stay up then return it. I haven't had any issues with my handle but I took a class from a well known instructor that recommends this iron because it gets hot compared to many other irons. The instructor mentioned that the handle wasn't designed really well and it can get to where it won't stay up at least all the way. She mentioned that she had taken a eraser from the end of a pencil and pushed it in to make the handle stay up. This may not help you but it's all I know about the iron except I really like mine.

I successfully separated the handle from the cup but now I cannot put it back together, rendering it basically useless. It seemed like it should be able to snap apart and snap back. Honestly, I even tried HAMMERING it back to snap back, to no avail. I would not recommend separating the cup and handle for cleaning.

Not a problem for me, as I cut my grass at the shortest height. Wasn't a problem at the beginning when I was trying various cutting heights. My handle is stiff and hard to move, so I can't see it jumping out of its notch. Is your handle installed correctly?

My handle broke also but I was able to superglue it back on. So far it's holding up. I would contact Rival with your question and/or look for a possible new/used replacement on eBay.

To fix mine I just had to smack it against my hand (without the brush head on) on all four sides a few times. I think something may have been pressed against the sensor and causing it to stay on.

Didn't have that issue but I do remember having to really push and lock the handle into place. Hope that helps.

RVGRemove the handle and take it to a Home Depot or equivalent and ask for replacement. Delta guarantee their units for life.I didn't know this and bought a part that did not fit. I took it in, they gave me a new replacement part. Try this.Al

My handle was completely broken. If you have to pull the handle a few times prior to opening, is it due to the door being locked? My back latch had to be unlocked several times prior to me finally getting it to open up. Then, shortly after, it stopped working and I had to replace it. Not sure if it's possible to do any kind of tightening on it. For me, this part was a pain to change, and if you're going to open it up and tighten it, might as well change it out. I didn't answer your question, because I don't know the answer, but I hope you can fix it. Good luck.

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

Pull behind. The handle likes to fall down. I would like it to be locked in place so when you let go of it that it's still in the position I left it.

No haven't had mine quite that long. BUT if you haven't taken it apart and cleaned it i would. Sometimes the gas bulbs/whip cream can leave residue and buildup. Might be causing the handle to stick open. If you can't fix it just learn to love lots of whipped cream :P

Same thing happened to me. Maybe not after 5 seconds every time but it never stayed on for long. I replaced it with a Black and Decker that is 100% better. Stays on, good battery and better suction.

I don't have this issue, but the very first time I used it the handle broke off! Others I know of that have bought Rachael Ray product have had problems too. I will not purchase anything else by her!!

Mine is likewise sticky ... I bought two at the same time and just took the "new" one out of the box, it had been there ~ 3 years. Handle is sticky. It must be a manufacturing issue. I live in Florida. It makes me wonder about getting another ...

Mine is doing same blasted thing. You have to make sure the handle is all the way down and keep set screw tight on regular basis. Very aggravating!!!!!! But what do you do??

The handle broke on my pan also. I notified amazon and they sent a replacement right away. The thing is when you do put the new handle back on do not tighten the screw too tight. I've not had any more trouble with the handle since. Hope this helps.
