How do you repair Large Zyliss Salad Spinner?

Answer 1

You can clean it by hand-washing with liquid dish soap and rinsing thoroughly. (You don't want soap residue left in the bowl to add to your next salad.) I've had mine for about 10 years and usually only rinse it well and leave to dry, sometimes running water inside the lid and letting the cord hang out until it's also dry. It's very important that it dry completely to prevent mold or other stinky conditions developing, but that's never a problem if you let it dry well. Best just to leave it in the dish rack or on a towel on the counter. Occasionally I've run it through the dishwasher on the top rack but not with the dry cycle for fear it would be damaged/softened. I love mine and have found it durable and very effective.

=========================================================

If it's one of the larger older ones with a wooden ball at the end of the pull string and with no screws in the lid to undo, then it's even simpler than that:

- put the end of a butter knife into the gap between the static and rotating disks of the lid (you'll have to reach in a few inches toward the center and use a desk light or something to see the gap)

- give the knife a twist; the rotating disk should just pop right off

- remove the stub of the old cord from the slot at the center of the rotating disk

- push the end of the remainder of the cord (or of a brand-new cord) through the brass bushing (opening) in the outside of the lid. (Make sure the knob is on the outside!)

- tie a knot at the end of the cord and press the cord and knot into the slot in the rotating disk

- push the 2 parts of the lid back together until you hear an audible click

That's it; you're done. Happy spinning!

It depends what's wrong with it, but it's a really simple machine.
