3 LIDSAVER™ MAINTENANCE
Your LidSaver™ single cup lid dispenser does not require any special maintenance beyond
cleaning. To insure the maximum life of this product cleaning regularly inside and out
using a cotton cloth and mild soapy water (dish soap). Lubrication of door
pivots as noted below is recommended periodically.
Cleaning Instructions :
1. Remove all lids from LidSaver™ dispenser
2. Unhook door springs (2) from door using a screw driver or pliers
3. Remove LidSaver™ “Housing” (refer to installation instructions)
4. Wipe down all exposed surfaces with a cotton cloth and warm soapy water.
5. Saturate each “Pager Assembly” with warm soapy water several times.
Flex flipper portion of pager as your cleaning to insure flippers operate freely.
6. While pushing “Piston” to the back of the tube, wipe down bottom of
tube to keep piston operating freely.
7. Spread a small amount of thick-bodied lubricant (Food Grade Silicone,
Vaseline, etc.) to each of the two (2) door pivot points. Apply lubricant with the
door fully open and also underneath with the door in a closed position. Apply a
small amount of lubricant to each housing screw prior to installing.
8. Replace LidSaver™ “Housing” (refer to installation instructions)
Look for:
1. Sheared “lid claw pivot screw”. Replace using 6-32 nylon flat head machine screw.
Replacement door pivot screws are attached in front of the piston behind the piston lid plate.
2. Broken “lid claw”
3. Broken “door” rib. Order parts as needed.
Possible Causes: “Piston” does not freely move to most forward position
Solution: “Piston” or “Piston Spring” may be fouled. Clean inside of tube. Apply furniture wax
to bottom of tube to help piston operate more freely. If this does not eliminate the problem,
contact Vollrath® at 800-628-0832 for repair or replacement.
Lids are damaged frequently when operating LidSaver™
Possible Causes: Your lid may be incorrect for settings provided.
Solution: Read label on “lid plate” (see diagram). If this does not match your lids, order a
“Lid Change Kit” to reset Lidsaver for your new lid.
Possible Causes: LidSaver may be overfilled with lids. When lids are compressed too
tightly from overstocking they will not dispense well. Instruct staff to not overstock lids.
Solution: Remove lids and flake the stack. Avoid overstocking lids when loading.
Possible Causes: One or more “Pagers” has migrated inward causing lids to be held
too firmly.
Solution: Remove housing (installation instructions) and view “lid claw”/ lid relationship. Look to be
sure that “lid claws” reach behind first lid when the door is completely closed. If lids seem too tight and
claws seem not to reach back far enough, order “LSTU Tune-up Kit“ to re-set pagers accurately.

9. Hook door springs (2) on door using screw driver or pliers

“Door” is dis-engaged from “Door Pivots” or becomes

6. Trouble Shooting: round head machine screws. Replacement door pivot screws are attached in front of the piston
behind the piston lid plate.
