Its only a year old, a nice stainless steel number.

Ive tried tightening to screw in the removable lid, but to no avail.

Perhaps Ive tightened it too hard?

Any ideas on this earth shattering problem?

The sound is made by steam passing through the whistle opening. Be sure it
is clear and did not get filled with some gunk. Clean it out with a pin or
paperclip and give it a try. Also check that it is fitting properly and the
steam is not escaping around the lid rather than through it.

It's probably feeling depressed and therefore doesn't feel like
whistling. Perhaps it should consult a mental health professional.

I have seen some get blocked with a lime type build up. Take a look and
see if you can see if something is partly blocking the vent.

sometimes the parts get out of alignment in the whistle. loosen the screw
and see if you can turn one part to a different position to "form" the
whistle. if you look closely enough, what I am saying should make sense to
you.

Turn the burner on.

put in some water

Probably lime or crud buildup. Soak the whistle part in some CLR over night.

Vinegar is nearly as effective and much cheaper..

You should take it on vacation for awhile.

I suggest going to Dixie.

The whistle consists of a resonating chamber in the steam vent made
using a thin insert with a hole. If the insert falls out, no whistle.
Check to be sure the steam has to go thru 2 inline holes.
