Zojirushi CD-DEC50 Electric Air Pot - seeking... (by 2 users)


posted by GyokuroAsahi on Jan 29, 2008


Anyone know of a source of Zojirushi replacement parts?  The plastic frame under the stainless steam shield of the lid of my   Zojirushi CD DEC50, over several years of use, has degraded until it is now disintegrating into crumbling powder. Without a replacement lid, the unit is destined for recycling (I hope) or the landfill (I fear). A unit costing as much as it did should benefit from better material selection. I have another electric air pot by Fujitronic of the same age (and a third the cost)  that shows no such degradation.
I suggest caution to any who might consider a Zojirushi: relatively expensive and of questionable materials appropriateness or temperature control stability --it may be overheating. Neither property is worth $120-$175 US.
I have the same problem.

Solution, take the zojiroshi apart and put the element in the bottom of a travel mug.
