I found this in an old thread:Repair stainless steel scoop1. Take a pair of pliers and bend the little keeper metal at the
bottom of the handle back just far enough so you can adjust the
ratchet.
This is the piece at the very bottom that keeps the ratchet piece
from coming out.2. Then you move the ratchet piece (with the teeth) off of the
ratchet wheel to the place where the medal swing inside the scoop is back
into position.3. Once there you have to bend the keeper back into place. You want
to get it as snug as you can so that it doesn't come out of alignment again.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your medium scoop. I have some experience with this issue and I might be able to help. It sounds like the hinge on your scoop may have become dislodged or stuck. Here's what I would suggest: first, try gently pushing the hinge back into place. If that doesn't work, you may need to disassemble the scoop and reattach the hinge properly. You can find step-by-step instructions for this in your Pampered Chef consultant manual or on our website under the "Product Help" section. If you're still having trouble, feel free to reach out to me directly and I would be happy to walk you through the process. Best of luck!
