I replaced the filters, the left side was hard to remove it and hard to put it in. The red light continues telling me I need to replace the filters. I am also having sometimes hard time getting it on. It has become temperamental. Sometimes it does, other times I have to press the on button several times before it turns on.
these are the only filters I will use! I have tried cheaper, generic filter replacements and it was disastrously stinky so you really just need to buy the brand versions if you want true quality
After I replaced two original filters with the purchased filters my Vitamix machine keeps showing the red signal "change the filters". I do not understand why? In addition the quality of processed food is wet and stuck to the container. Please help me to correct this situation.

Expensive junk. Very cheaply made fell apart after 2 years of use. I took it apart to fix it and found driving gear made of pop metal and completely wore off. I will try to press plug in side the cavity and sleeve it.
