I own this Sanyo rice cooker ECS-F50F but coating of inner pot wore out and I need new one but there is no new replacement available so I cannot use this rice cooker anymore. If I am not mistaken Sanyo merged with Panasonic company.

I got this cooker a few years already and this happened to me sometimes. What I do is make sure the yellow button is not up and open the lid. I take and gasket out and reapply it again and put the lid back. It works. I guess somehow when I put the lid on the gasket doesn't fit tight enough so air and steam leak out and takes a long long time to build up the pressure. Good luck!

I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

I don't have one. I wasn't satisfied with it so I replaced it with zojirushi cooker.

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.

Hi Allyson, my cooker does the same thing. Overcooks, does not sit well, water boils over and I'm so unhappy with it I can't return it as it's too expensive to return because of the mailing cosyt Would Amazon take it back and pay return postage it was expensive!!!! Lucy Plus you can't put in dishwasher like my old one from 1940.

It has not happened to us. Maybe the computer chip is defective. Contact Cuckoo. It is possible to unplug the cooker and wait 10 seconds then plug in and restart. If that does not work then contact cuckoo.

I have to agree with Michael...I sent mine back as it was scratched up, looked used and every time I plugged it in the controller smoked (I tried 8-10 times). Was afraid to even give it a whirl, so wouldn't recommend. My suggestion: invest in a 1600 watt portable induction cooktop and use your own clad induction ready cookware. With those you can use them as a slow cooker. It's the solution I finally came up with.I never took the opportunity to measure volume since, as I said, the controller smoked, even after leaving it plugged in for 30+ minutes 8-10 times. It did look to hold 4 qts. to the top, but would advise using only 2-3 qts., just in case it boiled over.

Dear Ana, I was just considering buying this electric pot when I read your order problem with it. Has there been anything helpful during the year plus since you've owned the pot to take care of that rubber order???ThanksRoben

I purchased the same crockpot from Amazon 6 months ago and the non stick coating is flaking off as well as other problems...such as not turning on when you flip the switch. I am afraid to use it now because of possible electrical problems with the control switch and the flaking of the non stick coating. My question is ....Does anyone know of a recall on this model?

I have had 3 of this same model pot because I love it but have the same problem. HB has been very quick to replace the pot but so far I have found NO solution to the problem. I have to keep a small sponge in the overflow area and change it daily. Seems HB could find a solution.

This is a Presto item and it works very well. I have replaced many over the years. Be sure you have the right set for your cooker. Your model number is usually found on the bottom of the pot. It is simple to replace the parts.

I do not have posession of this cooker; I purchased it as a gift for my sister. Check out the Presto website. This type of inforrmation should be there. All I know is she loves it.

If you want a replacement... http://www.crock-pot.com/customerservice.aspxHowever, it is about 1/3 the cost of a new one.

I have a same problem. If, still under warranty, exchange an other one. Made in China won't last. I have to modify a different steam cooker.
