West Bend Kitchen Appliances Parts and Manuals

No this is not a common problem.
The ceramic bowl should last for years if handled correctly.
It may have had an unseen stress crack causing the premature failure.

Avoid putting cold liquid or items into the hot ceramic bowl/pot. This will cause the bowl/pot to crack and can be very unsafe when it pops. The reverse is also true, avoid putting hot liquid or items into the cold ceramic bowl/pot.

It is the sudden changes in temperature that can cause cracks to form.

Hope this helps!

check ebay! I was looking for a different lid and saw this one.

Sure, the scratches are in the glaze and will not affect the performance of the pot nor will it contaminate your food, just do an extra good job washing it.

try a new power cord....

You might consider buying a whole new base considering the problem you are having purely as a "safety issue". Temperature controls can be serious safety hazards. If it's not stable best if you replace the base. You can buy one at West Bends link for half the price of a new one. http://www.westbend.com/westbend/catalog.cfm?dest=dir&linkon=section&linkid=5 Or you can also try this first. At some time in its use you might have gotten food oil in the control. Take the knob off and spray a commerically available "electronic contact cleaner" along the shaft and into the control pot. Turn the shaft back and forth several times as you do this. Depending on how dirty it is you may have to spray it quit a bit before it is cleaned out. I don't believe the base is emmerasble in water so don't do that. ***This is only a temporary fix and not the best one. *** The time and money you will spend fixing it if you can even find the replacement part is probably more than buying a replacement base.

Question edited for clarity. I see your interesting email name. This website gets 11 million views a year, so I expect you will get some offers to come and 'play'. :>D West Bend Parts including the maker. https://www.google.com/search?q=west+bend+replacement+parts ..

I'm sorry, but it is not recommended to use the base of a slow cooker as a grill or griddle. Slow cookers are designed specifically for slow and even cooking at low temperatures, whereas grills and griddles require higher temperatures and direct heat. It's best to use the appropriate cooking utensils and appliances for your desired cooking method.
