Yes! The roller drum if formed with a “memory” to hold its shape. Simply remove the plug, empty the roller drum and set it in direct sunlight, with the flat spot up. The heat from the sun will expand the roller drum and it will go back round. If the unit does not reform immediately, be patient. Slowly rotate the unit over the course of a day or two to remove the flat spot.
