How do i remove the cover from wo 50 wine opener
A broken cork was stuck up inside my Waring Pro Wine Opener. Model WO50B. No amount of maneuvering could get it out. I removed the two small screws holding the silver part of the opener on. After that was off I could see two more screws and I removed those. The unit still would not come apart. I noticed that there were four oval shaped rubber plugs up on the black part of the unit. I pried the ovals out with a wooden skewer. That exposed the other four screws holding the long part of the unit together. Once I got those out, I gently pulled the two sides apart about an inch. I could have pulled it completely apart at that point (I think) but from there I was able to free the broken cork from the big internal cork screw. Everything screwed back together fine and the unit works again.

No, I would not recommend putting water into the chill chamber since if there is a "gap" hole in this compartment, the water could get inside the unit's electronics etc.. which could at the very least short the unit and at worst electrocute you as you take the bottle out/touch the unit. That's the problem with this or any other Peltier/thermoelelectric type of chiller. They are only good for maintaining an ALREADY cold bottle's temperature, not for chilling it rapidly. There is no good or inexpensive way to get better chilling from these types of units. It's the law of themodynamics and heat transfer. Water is the best/safest/most inexpensive medium to use, not chilled air or even super cold air. Cold air or even super cold air just does not match the chilling
potential of a liquid like water. The reason why 50F air is no
problem, for you to be out in for hours, but 50F water you'll get
hypothermia in 20-30 mins.
The best unit for chilling a warm wine bottle is the cooper cooler. Go to www.coopercooler.com. It uses ice and water and sprays the ice cold water over the bottle while spinning it to chill it quickly. This unit is great since it can also chill single serve drinks like beer/soda etc so is more versatile than the other chillers. Cheapest is about $59 which is much less than the waring at ~$100
