The wringer cap is connected to the spring tension, therefore it is designed to separate from the lower housing somewhat to allow for thick articles.
First - are you starting the item centered in the middle of the wringer? If not, that would be the correct procedure to ensure even pressure on the article. Second - there is a possibility that the spring tension is tighter on one side than the other. This could cause the cap to raise on one side more readily than the other. |

Where is the spring tensioner? I have a manual on order. Not seeing anything like a spring tensioner. Is there a schematic available? |

I learned that the tension springs cannot be adjusted to increase tension. You will find those if you reach up under the wringer housing - or you'll see them clearly if you remove the entire wringer assembly. There are nuts that secure the tension springs, but the manual states that tightening them will actually NOT increase tension. I had mistakenly thought they would respond the same as the tension springs and nuts in the earlier models A/30/32.
So ... back to the other possibility. Are you placing the wet articles centered through the wringer, in a uniform width and thickness, as directed in Page 9 (attached)? There is a definite technique to proper wringing. Wish I was there to give you an "in person" demo!
