Troubleshooting a Can Opener: Replacement or Sharpening?

In summary, you can sharpen your can opener at home using a manual can opener sharpener, which can be found at most kitchen supply stores. It is recommended to sharpen your can opener every 6-12 months or when it becomes dull. Most can openers have replaceable blades, which can be purchased from various retailers. If your can opener is no longer cutting smoothly or leaving jagged edges, it may need to be replaced. To properly maintain your can opener, clean it after each use with warm soapy water and a brush, and use a food-safe lubricant on the gears and moving parts.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about your can opener. It sounds like you may be experiencing some difficulties with it, and I'm sorry to hear that. Our products are designed to last and we want to make sure you are completely satisfied with your purchase. If your can opener is still under warranty, we can definitely look into getting it replaced for you. However, I would also recommend trying to sharpen the cutting edge first to see if that solves the issue. If you need any assistance with that, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for being a loyal customer and I hope we can resolve this issue for you soon. Have a great day!
