I got this to make LIPSOMAL VITAMIN C. The first 3 times the liquid got hot. After that, the liquid is not heating up! Is the unit working or not?

Hi there. If the unit is working you will see the little dimples on the surface of the water if you look at it in the light at the right angle. With this model, any heat generated is transducer heat, a byproduct of running unit. Unlike other units that are "supposed" to heat up, this unit does not have a built in heater.... It simy heats up from continued use. It is supposed to have an overload protection, or temperature sensor which will shut down unit with excessive heat. For example, I would occasionally used hot or warm water in the unit to improve cleaning, only to realize that eventually the unit would temporarily stop working. After cooling down, it would start working again. I am unfamiliar with the vitamin process you are using it for, so I'm not sure what conditions the unit must operate under for you to get the results you are looking for. If heat is needed, you may be better off with a heated unit. If you are simply wondering whether or not it is working based on heat produced, tbat won't necessarily be a good indicator. When cleaning something such as eyeglasses, for example, you will see what looks like "smoke" coming off of the eyeglasses or other object.... This is dirt, oils, etc. being cleaned off. Also, you will notice those little dimpmes in the water. Another was I would tear my unit was to put a fingertip on the water.... I would see the " smokey" appearance around my finger as the oils were cleaned from my finger.... Along with a little pain if I had a hangnail or cut! This unit leaked wayer into it from poor sealing between stainless steel tup and upper part of unit, and failed within less than a year. There are better units for not much more money. I would not recommend this unit for more than occasional use. I paid about $30 for the unit, and have seen the units vary in price from $19 to over $50, so that's a consideration, as well. Hope this helps.

I am not sure you are talking about the same product I reviewed, but this is a jewelry cleaning machine that works well with just plain water. It does what it is suppose to do remove soap and dirt from jewelry.

I'm no expert, but I think it's defective. As soon as I plug mine in, the little red light turns on. It works immediately if it's plugged in and it works without the cord after it's been charged. The problem might be with the unit or it might be with the cord/charger. Good luck.

Upon arrival of mine, the wax in the bottom was like a "Hockey Puck". I plugged the lamp in and within 4 hours the wax had melted and everything seemed to working perfectly. If your wax never melted, I think you should contact your place of purchase.

I'm not being sarcastic but have you made sure there are fresh batteries in it or that the batteries are inserted correctly? There are so few working parts on this little frother I can't imagine what else could be wrong with it. I hope this helps. I've had mine less than a year but have had to replace the batteries twice. Hope this helps.

Yours is defective, I would guess. Mine is ready to go within minutes of plugging in. I think mine heats up fast.

Mine has only red and green lights. If both lights are on, it's cooking. If you put in the appropriate amount of water as specified by the doctor, the unit stopped in about an hour (too much water would take longer). After that the red light goes off. Green light only means warming. Shouldn't warm more than 2 hours.

The element is supposed to get hot and very often will appear red or orange. Now for my own liability sake I cannot tell you that it's operating at a normal or too high a temperature.....but mine turns bright Orange and Yes becomes VERY HOT. This Has been true with ALL of my Electric Dryers.Best of Luck,G

Hmmm Margaret, My subsequent cups are just as hot as the first. It's not going off is it? Mine is set on a 2 hr timer & if I want to keep it hot after that I have to turn the knobs to: Brew & then On & the light will turn red. Otherwise, you may have an issue with it. Hope that helps. :)

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

Mine worked fine, plugged it in and it worked. How about this (I'm no expert, just troubleshooting) make sure all parts are assembled properly and make sure your top lid is locked down securely. If u have followed all directions according to manual you may have to return for new one. Hope this helps :-)

Water doesn't get hot, at least not on mine. I've only used it a couple of times so far. Sorry can't be of more help. Carol

I've never had that problem. Mine has worked fine since I got it. You might want to check and make sure its not getting to hot.

Maybe the liquid in the container isn't freezing (ahead of time, in the freezer) like it should. I'd contact Cuisinart directly.

run water thru a couple of times when you first get it and make sure you are using distilled water. Wait till completely heated and a good stream of steam is coming out before placing infront of a client. Try using the ozone for a fuller stream of steam. I haven't had any problem with mine Check all conection are tight.

After filling with water, adding a few drops of my essential oil and turning on the unit...there must be heat to create the terrific aromatic vapor...I have not noticed it being extremely hot. This unit works really well.

that has not happened here with mine. Every item has come out perfect. I'm thinking you have a defective one that does not heat up enough. Oh Dear, now that is a hassle.

My juice was never warm . I think it depends how on how you juice. When you keep going with filling the juicer with the outworked stuff, it might worm it up a bit in the process, but it is not warm in the glass.
