no never put in dishwasher and no cold liquid added to bowl, crack was halfway up all round bowl cooker had been on for about an hour and has only really been used for 1 winter so can,t see how it is normal wear and tear to cause it,will go back to farmers and quote CGA and see what happens but would like to hear from others who have this happen

It is a common problem I am surprised it has 2 year warranty, usually only get 1 year on small appliances. I have a Zip slow cooker first bowl cracked after 6mths Briscoes replaced it but said if it happens again it will not be covered, which stinks because it is like saying they will not stand behind their product twice & it is like saying faulty product it is the customers fault. Well I noticed after Feb quake it has a big crack around bottom thankfully it is covered by insurance.

I was following an Alison Holst recipe in Slow Cookers book and following her instructions put liquid in the bowl and cracked the bottom of our new crockpot. Not impressed Alison :(

I had the swame trouble with Farmers not wanting to replace an item under warranty. Rang the manufacturers direct - no problem. Famers replaced it immediately.Consumers guarantee act "not fit for the purpose it was intended - check that out too

thanks for thatbut have just been phoned my manager of Farmers who has told me I can have a refund for cooker, seems that because there is no way of just getting a new bowl they will refund and look into why you cannot get spare parts, pays to go higher up with your complaint

I accidentally cracked my crock pot inner not long after buying it (from Noel Leaming).They got me a replacement inner and it only cost about $36 from memory.It is a Russell Hobbs.

i cracked my bowl a few years back,i had turned the cooker on,as you do,and it took me too long to get everything prepared,so i think it over heated and just cracked,pissed me off though.

That happened to ours last winter. Was bummed as it was a wedding present that had been collecting dust for years and finally used it. Was really getting into it, 3rd time using it it cracked. But was my fault I guess, I left the dish on the bench to cool for about 3-4 hours before putting it in the fridge overnight. But think it was still pretty warm... Was not worth buying a new dish for it as can buy new crock pots reasonably priced on sale... but decided my crock pot days were over for the time being...

I have a 6.5 litre ZIP SLOW COOKER Model 312. The oval shaped glass lid broke. Would be interested in finding out where or how to get a replacemment lid.
