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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

You have to buy the lid complete. Hamilton Beach say out of stock, but it looks like Sears has one. https://www.google.com/search?q=replacement+lid+gasket+990126000+for+hamilton+beach ..

Replace the disply. Probably means replace the whole machine unfortunately.

Most crock pots are made of porous ceramic and is relatively brittle. It is glazed on all sides (except the bottom usually), to make it hold liquids without absorption. The lids, usually glass or thermoplastic, sit of top, but do not usually fit tightly as this could crack the crock. Also, it is not a pressure cooker, so you want excess steam to vent. The lid just keeps the heat inside and allows condensation to drip back into the crock, reducing the speed at which the fluids cook off, thus the term slow cooker.

We have the same problem too. SEL keeps flashing when first plugged in and no buttons will work. Is there a fix? Any reset?

I had the same issue. I plugged and unplugged the cooker any number of times and pushed every button. Display only showed SEl X. Hoping for a reset, I left the cooker plugged in overnight. It did reset itself and is working perfectly now. The program buttons work, and it heats up immediately. There is no practical explanation or logical steps. I hate throwing things away. Never give up!

THEN REPLACE IT

no recalls on that model. There is a heating element is the base, so the exterior can get pretty hot. https://www.google.com/search?q=Proctor+Silex+model+33650+recalls ..

it does just what it says . its a great feature . in auto shift mode the pot will be on high untill it reaches full boil or a pre set time has gone by .... most people start there crock pots on high and turn them to low when it gets cooking .....this does it for you ... happy crock poting ...Please if this answer helped , please rate this 3 or 4 stars . and keep me in the paid answer department . A 1 or 2 may knock me down into the unpaid ranks. Thanks Cactus Bob .

Try filling the crock with ice or ice-cold water - the reasoning is that the ice should cause the crock to shrink just enough to get it out. If that does not work, switch it on to heat he base; which should cause it to expand and when it is warm, pour cold water into the crock to shrink it

They don't have fuses they have thermal cutoffs. It would be located at the heater. You'll just have to try to take it apart to find it. Purchase a cutoff from any electronics supply shop in your area.

Check for power at outlet. Then check for power at heating coil. If there and still not working the heating element is gone.

Sounds like you have a short some place, and it needs to be replaced.

First turn to right is warm, then low, then high.
