Einleitung

Is the handle on the carafe of your Cuisinart coffee maker lose or damaged? If so, this guide will provide instructions on how to replace the handle on the carafe. To complete this task all you will need is a bit driver with the PH1 Phillips bit.

    • Wedge the metal spudger between the plug and the handle.

    • Carefully pry the plug with the metal spudger by applying pressure around the plug.

    • Too much pressure and prying can damage the plug.

    • Position the metal spudger underneath the top cap of the handle.

    • Gently pry up to extract the upper assembly cap.

    • Pry carefully to prevent from causing aesthetic damage to upper assembly cap.

    The contrast is poor here, but now that I have the cap off, I know that no spudger I have would fit there anyway. Instead I inserted a metal kebab skewer (shut up, I was in the kitchen ;) ) in the bottom of the handle, ring/handle first, and used that to push outwards/upwards on the top cap. That raised it up a bit and gave me a gap in which I could fit a spudger to pry it off.

I needed this guide after my spouse put the carafe in the dishwasher and the handle sloshed no matter how much I shook it. It turns out water is easily trapped under the top cap; even though there's a drain hole into the handle, it doesn't seem to want to drain. I've wiped it off and left it to dry completely before reassembling it.
