Try sending it in anyway. I have replaced a few pots with them. DH
ran mine through the DW too and messed it up. I wanted to kill him.
But I continued to use ot for a few years and sent it in. They
replaced it. They no longer make the Commercial line, though, so
beware that they will substitute the One line if you have Commercial.
