I'm having the opposite problem of the one described in this old thread. My 7 months old Dual Boiler (a warranty replacement for the first machine) has the lid stuck in the closed position. Did anybody else have this problem and get it resolved?

Are you sure it won't open?
We got a new BDB yesterday (warranty replacement) and the lid was different than the previous one we had. I now have to press quite hard right on the little groove for it to open. Same for closing the lid.
Hope you can sort it out!

100% positive it won't open no matter how hard I push. There used to be a clicking sound, but no more.

If it's under warranty, contact Breville.
If it's not under warranty, consider forcing it open, either the broken part that latches it will break further, or the part of the lid that goes into the latching part may break, but the machine will be re-fillable.

Before forcing a breakage, I'd take the top off and see if the fill cover latch is accessible from underneath. I don't remember if it is as I've never had a reason to look at it.
