Corningware sc40 programmable slow cooker not heating
If your Corningware SC40 programmable slow cooker is not heating, there are a few things you can check:
- Check that the slow cooker is properly plugged in and the outlet is working.
- Check the temperature setting. Make sure the temperature is set to a level that should be producing heat.
- Check the lid. Make sure the lid is on securely and there are no gaps where heat can escape.
- Check the heating element. If the heating element is not working, the slow cooker will not heat up. You may need to replace the heating element or have it serviced by a professional.
If none of these solutions solve the problem, it may be best to contact the manufacturer or a professional appliance repair service for further assistance.
Start button & 8hr button on my 6qt crock pot come on for 6 seconds then shut off for 30secs? It is getting hot? What's the issue?
This issue with your crock pot could be due to a malfunctioning thermal fuse or a problem with the heating element. The thermal fuse is a safety device that shuts off the power to the heating element if it becomes too hot. If the thermal fuse is faulty, it can cause the crock pot to shut off and turn on repeatedly.
It is also possible that there is an issue with the heating element itself. If the element is damaged or not functioning correctly, it may cause the crock pot to turn off and on intermittently.
To diagnose and fix the problem, it is recommended to take the crock pot to a professional appliance repair technician. They can test the thermal fuse and heating element to determine the cause of the issue and make the necessary repairs.
My Hamilton Beach slow cooker stopped going to keep warm after time was up, model 33966C
If your Hamilton Beach slow cooker model 33966C is no longer switching to the "keep warm" setting after the cook time is up, there could be a few possible causes:
- The thermostat may be malfunctioning. The thermostat controls the temperature of the slow cooker and if it's not working correctly, it could prevent the slow cooker from switching to the "keep warm" setting.
- The timer may be malfunctioning. The timer controls the cook time and if it's not working correctly, it could prevent the slow cooker from switching to the "keep warm" setting after the cook time is up.
- The heating element may be malfunctioning. If the heating element is not working properly, the slow cooker may not be able to maintain the correct temperature to switch to the "keep warm" setting.
- The lid may not be properly sealed. If the lid is not properly sealed, heat may be escaping and the slow cooker may not be able to maintain the correct temperature to switch to the "keep warm" setting.
It is recommended to try to unplug the slow cooker for a few minutes and then plug it back in to see if that solves the problem. If the problem persists, it may be best to contact Hamilton Beach customer service for further assistance or to have the slow cooker repaired or replaced.
What causes an instant pot to go into “burn” mode?
There are several possible reasons why an Instant Pot might go into "burn" mode:
- The pot is empty: The Instant Pot is designed to detect when the pot is empty and will go into "burn" mode to prevent the heating element from burning out.
- The pot is too dry: If the pot is too dry, the Instant Pot may go into "burn" mode to prevent the food from burning.
- The pot is too full: If the pot is too full, the Instant Pot may go into "burn" mode to prevent the food from boiling over and causing a mess.
- The pot is dirty: If the pot is dirty, food particles or debris may be stuck to the bottom, which could cause the Instant Pot to go into "burn" mode.
- The Instant Pot is malfunctioning: In rare cases, the Instant Pot may malfunction and go into "burn" mode even when it is not supposed to. If this occurs, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.
If your Instant Pot goes into "burn" mode, it is important to follow the instructions in the manual for safely addressing the issue. This may involve removing the pot, allowing the Instant Pot to cool down, and cleaning the pot before attempting to use it again.

If you are unable to resolve the issue through these channels, you may want to consider contacting your local consumer protection agency or a consumer advocacy group for additional assistance.
Cuisinart slow cooker shuts off before timer is done. It is older, doesn't have a weight sensor so is there a way to rest?
If your Cuisinart slow cooker is shutting off before the timer is done, it is possible that the slow cooker is overheating or experiencing an electrical issue. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the slow cooker for any visible signs of damage, such as a cracked or broken heating element or loose wiring. If you see any damage, stop using the slow cooker and unplug it until it can be repaired by a qualified technician.
- Make sure the slow cooker is placed on a flat, stable surface and is not being overloaded. Overloading the slow cooker or placing it on an unstable surface can cause it to malfunction.
- Check the power cord and plug for any visible signs of damage, such as fraying or exposed wires. If the cord or plug is damaged, stop using the slow cooker and unplug it until it can be repaired by a qualified technician.
- If the slow cooker is clean and undamaged and is placed on a flat, stable surface, try unplugging it and then plugging it back in to see if the issue is resolved.
If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is possible that the slow cooker is experiencing a malfunction that requires repair by a qualified technician. I recommend contacting Cuisinart or a local appliance repair service for further assistance
I have a 6 quart slow cooker from magic mill the bottom black part that is the heating element of it broke can i replace it
Yes, it is possible to replace the heating element of your Magic Mill slow cooker if it has broken. However, repairing small appliances can be difficult and may require specialized tools and knowledge. I recommend taking the slow cooker to a qualified appliance repair technician for assessment and repair. They will be able to determine if the heating element can be replaced and perform the repair for you.
Alternatively, you may be able to purchase a replacement heating element for your Magic Mill slow cooker from the manufacturer or a third-party supplier. Keep in mind that attempting to repair a small appliance can be risky and may void the manufacturer's warranty, so it is important to be cautious and carefully follow any instructions provided.
Temperature issue please help. KitchenAid Crock pot KSC6223SS
Hello. I am fairly certain your slow cooker is defective. That is a 600W model, while most are only about half that. I suggest you put 2 cups of water in the cooker, on high and check the temp after 2 hours... compare that to other slow cookers you have. If you have a Kill A Watt Meter, you could use that to test it.
Overall though, I would try to get the device replaced under warranty.
Where can i find a replacement crock for my Wolf Gang Puck Bistro collection crock pot or can i use any 7 quart crock?
If you are looking for a replacement crock for your Wolf Gang Puck Bistro Collection crock pot, you may be able to find one through the manufacturer or through a retailer that sells Wolf Gang Puck products. You can try contacting the manufacturer directly to see if they have any replacement crocks available or if they can provide you with information on where to purchase one.
You may also be able to find a replacement crock for your crock pot through online retailers or through a specialty appliance store. It is a good idea to measure the dimensions of your current crock and compare them to the dimensions of the replacement crock to ensure that it will fit properly in your crock pot.
Alternatively, you may be able to use a 7 quart crock from another brand or model of crock pot in your Wolf Gang Puck Bistro Collection crock pot. However, it is important to note that not all crocks are interchangeable, and using a different crock may result in fit or performance issues. It is recommended to carefully research compatibility and verify that the crock you are considering will work with your specific model of crock pot before purchasing it.
