My answer & recommendations:
Unfortunately your "Bravetti" slow cooker is
mfr'd in China - where - like as with a lot of other low quality
cheaper brand name items and appliances, it is made as well. This
Bravetti line is branded under the Euro-Pro name and the link for their
products and services is below:

I'm guessing you bought it online and have no direct store support, so
your only option is to contact the Mfr via a listed email addy, or
their 800 toll free # listed in your operators manual that came with
the slow cooker.
Chances are your slow cooker is now obsolete - as in "discontinued",
and was sold through a CLOSEOUT type online store. Many of these same
Made in China so-called products today have now been going in that
"discontinued" direction over the past 2 years or so, as their
country's economy is now facing the same collapsed state - only worse
economically - much as with our own country as well.
What is happening there in China present day is that a lot of their
so-called tech manufacturing companies are now facing the higher cost
& shortages of raw materials, as well as a much higher labor force
wage index as related to hourly wages, and thus can't compete anymore
inside their own mainland China. So they are having to outsource the
labor to even cheaper countries as well. Dog eat dog world right now!
Funny huh?
I went through a similar recent problem with a cheaper Made in China
2.4Ghz cordless phone. Olympia was the branded name. Who even knows
where it was made in China, as it would be a complete waste of time
even trying to track down the company or what is now left of it!
All the re-directed original company did for me was further redirect me
to some outsourced C/S dept somewhere on the East Coast, and all they
did was send me out 3 more Free replacement phone sets that didn't work
either.
The 1st 2.4 Ghz replacement phone's LCD display crapped out shortly
after setting it up, and I threw it out after stripping some reusable
parts off of it. They sent me out another Free so-call upgraded better
model.
That 2nd 2.4Ghz dual handset w/answering machine phone system started
having all kinds of bad reception problems - so I complained yet again,
and this time they sent me out a dual handset 5.8Ghz phone system (with
no answering machine btw) that was even worse! I gutted that one too
for usable parts after they said they couldn't do anything more for me,
and I decided to check into the 2nd phone to see if I could fix it
myself.
What I found out was wrong with it - after taking one handset apart -
was that the antenna wire wasn't aligned right on their final
inspection. Both handsets were the same way, and after realigning it
both handsets worked great.
One handset now has a bad LCD display row for some reason and I found
out that that too was a BIG problem with these phones. At least I have
2 handsets that work fairly good and a bunch of spare Ni-Mh batts as
well as spare wall power adapters, etc.
All in all - what I was finding out years ago with much of this EL
CHEAPO Made in China **** is that the electronics part was getting
WORSE and WORSE quality wise - if you could even call it quality to
begin with.
My buying Philosophy today - as it was years ago as well - is that if
it looks to good to be true "price wise" then it is just junk to begin
with, and just steer clear from it. Esp if it's today Made in China!
Their junk is just getting cheaper and cheaper today, and the FIRE
risks esp with electronic stuff just isn't worth it. I'm finding that
stuff made in CANADA is far better in quality as was my White
Westinghouse Fridge which is going on 10+ years now and runs GREAT!!!!
As for your slow cooker - here is my recommendation on it and what you should do.
My 30 year old KMART brand La Cuisine manual 3-position manual switch
mode with (2 heat settings) slow cooker is still working just as great
today as it was 30 years ago because I come from OLD SCHOOL in that the
MANUALLY operated appliance stuff (microwaves included) last far longer
for the money invested. My old Emerson brand manual 600 watt microwave
lasted me 23 years of flawless operation until the Megatron died one
day a few years ago. Not bad at all......
My educated guess on your slow cooker (with those electronic touch pad
controls) is that you possibly got water into it somehow, and then the
moisture caused the control circuit board to fail. Either that or the
Low Voltage XFMR gave out that powers the circuit board. This L-V XFMR
is a common problem with not only touch pad type microwaves, but most
everything else appliance wise as well.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but with electronic touch pad type
appliances I have to have it in hand to (t/s) troubleshoot it as just
guessing what it is doesn't cut it anymore.
The manually operated stuff is much easier to (t/s) as there are fewer
components and most people are handy with a DVM these days. Hopefully
that is.....
I hope you get a manually operated slow cooker next time, as you'll be money ahead for a long long time!!

PS: Not sure why all the "spacing errors" when I went back into my
FIXIT acct, but it definitely wasn't me as my saved text copy is just
fine, so it must be an issue with that posting send / confirmation #
thing here??
If you care to comment on my posted reply as to the 800 # part maybe I
can get some answers for you as to a replacement slow cooker, as I deal
with C/S Dept's all the time.

SOURCE: We are having difficulty timing our slow cooker recipes in the KC271LC .
The manual doesn't say what the levels are, but the cover says the AC power rating is 340 watts. Most of that would be going to the heater, and low temp should be about half that. If you need a copy of the manual, here's the download link:

SOURCE: I just received a bravetti 7 quart slow cooker and
can you tell me does the 1 and 11 mean low and high or is it the other way round I have a westinghouse crtoc pot Pam 123
SOURCE: Hi, I purchased two Bravetti
This manual is not freely and readily available, and Bravetti is really a daughter company for some other parent
company. There is no information on how to contact them or anything
of the sort. Did you happen to get this through HSN (home shopping
network)? If so you will need to contact HSN and request the manual,
and if they don't have it, they will have the contact information for
Bravetti / it's parent company whom you can contact for the manual.
However there is no way to easily get that manual and recipe book
without contacting them. I would call this number to start with, and go
from there eve1-800-284-3100 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-284-3100 end_of_the_skype_highlighting
I'm so sorry about that, call the # above even if you didn't get it though hsn. we here at fixya however do not have any manuals to mail out i'm really sorry about that also.
SOURCE: My manuel to this slow cooker was lost in a move.
Go to the Corning Ware website to see if they have one. If not, check on Ebay, since someone almost always has manuals available for sale on there. If you do not see one, then simply put in a request on ebay, and i am sure someone will offer up one.
