GE Slow Cooker

Debbie of Romeoville, IL November 18, 2009

plugged in crock pot within 10 minutes it was smoking, metal part melted all the way through the base and burned a large mark in my counter. THANK GOODNESS my whole house did not burn down. I happened to be home and not leave for the day like I usually depend on being able to do! yikes...so scary. Large burned mark and warped counter top ruined where pot was and ruined crockpot.

GE crock pot or slow cooker is on recall,the heating unit drops down through the plastic and burns what ever it is sitting on, which is what happen to me. This burned a large area of a confrence table, my problem is I cannot find the responsible department to claim the damage. Every dept I have contacted does not handle that occurance or appliance , I am getting very frustrated with this issue , and I am beginning to believe that is what GE wants.Also while cooking a sauce for company last week, the GE wand or hand mixer I was using burned up in my hand.?????? What is going on with GE?.

The slow cooker, burned a whole in my table cloth and ruined the conference table in my house of worship. Nothing happened with the hand held mixer, but unless I can find the exact copy of the one I had, wal mart will not give me another one.??? Come on! this was 2 yrs ago. I can see why people absorbe the cost of happening like this, sometimes it is not worth the aggervation.

Counter top needs replaced. Slow cooker also needs replaced.
