Trouble With My Food Chopper - Any Suggestions?

[ChefMoore]

The food chopper is one of my best selling products and my husband and I use it all the time. However, lately after I wash it I've had trouble getting the plastic piece that covers the blade to fit back on correctly. Any suggestions? Does anyone else ever have this problem?

That happened to one of mine many years ago - I had put it in the dishwasher and the heat-dry switch as on w/o my knowing it - it warped it ever so slightly. It has a 5 year warranty - get it replaced.

Mine started doing that last year. I always put it in the dishwasher, so I stopped for awhile. Then all of a sudden it started fitting better & now I put it in the dishwasher again.

I have that problem and I use the energy saver option on my dishwasher, so I don't think it's from that. I also put it on the top rack. I could be from the dishwasher, I guess, but it's supposed to be dishwasher safe. I can get it on, but I have to work it a little.

I have the same trouble occasionally. I find that if I give a little squeeze to each section of blade (think of it as a series of V's), it usually lines things back up.

I will have had mine 5 years in Feb. It has never been in the diswasher (we don't have one) & it does that. It has gotten to where it doesn't cut the food all the way through. Can the blades be sharpened or should I just get a new one? I got it with my kit, how do I get it replaced?

Edit: I figured it out. I guess I will send it back after my show on the 7th. That way I will have it in time for my next show in 2008.
