I have the SCVP601R-L red crock pot. My ceramic pot is starting to look like it is cracking on the bottom. It is not leaking, I am just worried. I would like to get a relacement liner and it doesn't seem to be an active model anymore. Any ideas?

I can't say for certain this ceramic replacement crock will fit exactly, so check with the dealer to make certain. (It appears to be the right size). https://www.crock-pot.com/parts-and-accessories/slow-cookers/replacement-stoneware---crock-pot-7-quart-cook-and-carry-oval-slow-cooker---black/163875-000-090.html

Does it leak when you fill it with water?
If NOT you can use it.
If so: too bad the cracks are caused by pouring COLD liquids when your pot was HOT!

Most crock pots are made of porous ceramic and is relatively brittle. It is glazed on all sides (except the bottom usually), to make it hold liquids without absorption. The lids, usually glass or thermoplastic, sit of top, but do not usually fit tightly as this could crack the crock. Also, it is not a pressure cooker, so you want excess steam to vent. The lid just keeps the heat inside and allows condensation to drip back into the crock, reducing the speed at which the fluids cook off, thus the term slow cooker.

If you are putting the food inside the ceramic crock and not over filling it, then you are doing nothing wrong and have a cracked crock.
If you are overfilling it and putting the lid on so it bubbles over when the temperature gets up, then you need to add less food or cook on a lower temperature.

I don't know what I would do without a crock pot; filling it with good things in the morning and coming home to a completed meal at the end of the day is a lifesaver.
Bon apetite!

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!

There is no inherent problem with the Kitchenaid ceramic inserts. As far as a replacement ceramic insert, I would suggest calling Kitchenaid Customer Service. They may be able to provide a new insert at no cost if the unit is still within the 1 Year warranty.

Their toll-free phone number is 1-800-541-6390.

Go to this site http://www.crock-pot.com/CustomerService.aspx?id=rpt and put in your model number (located on the bottom of the unit) and you can order the liner and other parts for your crock pot. The cost is $15.00 plus shipping and applicable tax.

I would suggest that by adding frozen goods to an ambient pot and the heater has kicked in causing a crack in the ceramic pot - this is unrepairable as the damage done is deep into the pot.
A similar problem is putting hot water onto a frozen windscreen - it will crack.
The damage is caused by applying alternate extremes of tempatrature to a solid.
You could glue it, but it may well leak later in use, or may not be entirely stable in the wash. You might find it could separate when you are cleaning it.

Sorry, but I hope this helps.
