I bought the Sunbeam hot shot as a gift for Christmas, 2013--one year ago. It stopped working the day after Christmas 2014. Why?

Did someone possibly push the "on" button with no water inside??I've had three of these hot shots over the years for different homes and people for gifts and none ever stopped working if treated as instructions stipulated. Hopefully you get some satisfaction from Sunbeam warranty. We LOVE ours and use it daily. and good news is it is under $20 if you need to buy another.

Call Sunbeam..mine has worked for years......it has a 1 year warranty--I think? They should offer another one if stopped before the Year was up!Good Luck--they are great!

It's possible that the inner chamber may be "limed up" if you have very hard water. I suggest heating water with some white vinegar in it which may free the lines. (Allow vinegar water to run through by depressing the button. Also, if the hot shot is left plugged-in at all times, you might try unplugging unit for a few minutes and then plugging it in again. If the unit is used a lot, it's also possible that the heating element may have burned out.

I use mine twice daily and its life span runs generally for 18 months to two years (So that's about 1100-1500 uses.) I've heard small appliances like these don't have a long life span. But I LOVE my hotshot and have used them over 20 years (replacing as needed).

Good morning, From What I can tell it should be a 5 yr limited warranty according to the internet!! Google Sunbeam Warranty and copy and paste the model you are looking for!!! You can do that for most anything you are looking for!!! Good luck!! Hope this helped!!!!

I was able to reset mine for awhile, but the last time, I couldn't. I wrote to Sunbeam and they are sending a replacement.

Yes you're right mine too stopped working. I loved it so much when it worked. I will not purchase another one.

When I had a Sunbeam blanket, years ago, I also had the F2 flashing on the controller. It was perplexing until I check the plug that goes into the bottom of the blanket. It was not seated into the blanket's socket. I removed the plug, checked to make sure the 'pins' were aligned, and plugged it back in, snuggly. The F2 light stopped flashing and the blanket operated fine. Hope this helps.

I bought one of these for my daughter as a gift a couple of years ago. She uses it several times a week and has had no problems with it. Sorry you are having problems--perhaps the manufacturer should replace it.

I'm on my second season. But occassionally it stops working .... i have brought it in the house, let it dry out overnight and I take it back out in the AM and it starts working fine again.

I'm sure you have looked at the troubleshooting section beginning on page 25 of your breadmaker booklet. If you have tried all the suggestions there I suggest that you call Sunbeam at 1-800-458-8623. Your machine may not be heating up as it should during the rising portion of the program.

I found a store that sold the heated bowl and contacted them. Mine had quit working and the company I had purchased it from would not honor the warranty as they no longer carried the product. I'm enclosing in this response, a link to the Songbird Essentials website store locator. http://www.songbirdessentials.com/page.php?p=1368Good luck.

The one I bought in February for my daughters birthday is having the same problem. It will not turn on at all. Sent an email to Kodak today to see if they have a resolution. The thing is only 6 months old and she has used it only a handful of times. Quite frustrating, as she wanted to use it on our vacation.

That's a good question Kathy. Did you notice any warrantee in the packaging? If not I'd check online with Sunbeam and see what they'll offer you. Sorry I can't be any more helpful. Mine is still working perfectly.R/Andy V.

You mean it stopped working? I can't answer your question, because I no longer own my heater. I sent it back after only one week, back in December 2010.

I bought this one a few years ago and had the same problem after about a year - right side stopped working. I had someone service it rather than buy a new one......good for 2 years - until this week. Right side stopped working again. No more Edgestar for me.

Good morning, I have had mine for only a year and it has not had any problems. However, I had a couple of thoughts that might (or might not!) help. Have you tried a different plug in? There is a safety limit switch that will turn off the machine if it overheats that may have failed. Finally, the heating element may have failed. If you have not done so you may want to contact the people that built it - they are here in the USA so they should be available to help. Good luck, I would really miss mine! Dave

I have only had this brand since Oct 2013, but the one they replaced (Sunbeam brand) lasted over ten years! I hope this helps?
