Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the carafe to cool before handling repairs.
- Tighten screws: Inspect the handle attachment points and tighten any visible screws with an appropriate screwdriver.
- Check for cracks: If the plastic around the screws is cracked, the handle may fail and the carafe should be replaced.
- Do not over-tighten: Over-tightening can crack the glass or plastic; snug is sufficient.
- Replace carafe: If the handle cannot be secured safely, replace the carafe with a compatible Proctor Silex replacement.
