If your Stanley thermos is leaking, there are several potential causes to consider, especially when dealing with hot liquids.
• Gasket issues may be at play. Check if the rubber gasket, which forms the seal between the lid and the thermos body, is misaligned, damaged, or dried out. If so, try realigning it, cleaning it thoroughly, or soaking it in warm water to restore its flexibility.
• Examine the lid for problems. Ensure it is securely screwed on without being overly tight, as this could damage the threads or gasket. Look for any cracks or damage to the lid itself, which could lead to leaks.
• Other factors to consider include a faulty pressure release valve, if your thermos has one, or internal damage to the thermos itself. In troubleshooting, clean both the thermos and gasket meticulously, replace the gasket if necessary, and inspect the lid and threads for any issues.
If problems persist, reach out to Stanley's customer service for further assistance, as they may provide a replacement or repair depending on your thermos's warranty status.
