If you have pressed the button and the corkscrew is not moving or the cork is not being extracted, then your electric wine opener may be stuck with a cork.
The first step is to make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged. Then, try gently twisting and pulling the cork out with your hands. If this does not work, you can use a pair of pliers to grip the cork and pull it out.
There could be a few reasons for this. It could be due to a dull corkscrew, a build-up of debris, or a faulty motor. We recommend cleaning the unit and replacing the corkscrew if necessary.
It is not recommended to use the electric wine opener if the cork is stuck as it may damage the unit. It is best to remove the stuck cork before attempting to use the opener again.
To prevent your electric wine opener from getting stuck with corks, make sure to clean it regularly and replace the corkscrew when it becomes dull. Also, make sure to insert the corkscrew straight into the cork and avoid any twisting or bending motions.
