Fixing a lid that does not open on a Graef WK 402

ID: 117926

Description:

Steps:

1. The spring loaded mechanism that opened the lid no longer worked. To fix this the metal lid must be disassembled. To accomplish this use a flat head screw driver or a narrow piece of plastic to get in between the sealing ring and the lever
2. There are six noses that need to be undone. The marked part will come loose and will lay loosely in the lid. Then the lever can be inserted in two directions but only one is correct. One will notice this immediately because the sled moves much easier.
3. Attention: I'm not sure if the photo was taken with the sled in the right direction.

4. To repair the lid the following instructions are not necessary.
5. To unscrew the bottom you need a 2.3 mm triangular bit and a Phillips driver.

6. To take off the handle. Take a narrow object a flat head screw driver or a spudger and work up the side of the handle. There are four snaps that will release as the screwdriver works its way up. After completing this you can turn the handle part upwards and away.
7. Then loosen the two screws at the top end and loosen the two screws from the inside.

8. To loosen internal screws it is best to use a long screwdriver and start through the spout.
