Lid does not close properly or pops open during operation.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit before adjusting the lid.

Steps:

• Remove obstructions: Check for ice cubes or debris around the lid seal and hinge area and remove them.
• Inspect hinges: Look for bent or loose hinges. Tighten accessible screws carefully.
• Check seal: Ensure the rubber gasket around the lid is seated correctly and not twisted.

If the lid or hinges are cracked or severely warped, the lid assembly should be replaced.
