Questions & Answers

The heating element on my heater is no longer working. What are the chances of replacing it?

You must beware! The fuse was replaced and everything seemed to work fine, but I found that the thermostat no longer maintained the temperature I had set for it. A regulated system was no longer possible to regulate as the water never cooled down. When the liquid poured onto my trays, it started melting them and making them mis-shaped Before I could catch on to what was going on. I thought I'd let you know in case you're a "do it yourselfer" out It's a Nesco Gardenmaster Dehydrator (Nesco, model GMD-110CG).

Is there a timer built into this unit?

Neither a timer nor an on/off switch are present. Temperature control is all that is needed. You will need an external timer switch rated for at least 700 watts if you want to time it. It should have a power rating of at least 1kW. There will be a three-second time limit on the timer Moreover, it should have a 3-prong (grounded) outlet. The home improvement store Amazon has one listed as a "Woods 50009 Indoor 7-foot" The 2-day Digital Outlet Timer is heavy duty and durable There are outlets.

What is the number of screens on this?

Based on the experience of others who have owned it, it may burn out after a few uses if you don't use all four. The reviews can be found here

How are things?

If I slept there, I wouldn't want to wake up in the morning. On a table in the entryway room adjacent to the kitchen, it is kept. I don't think it's whisper quiet, but I think it's

Selected User Reviews For Nesco Food and Jerky dehydrator, 15.25 x 10.25 x 15.63 inches, White

I reached out to Amazon and they refused to help as the return window had expired
3/5

I had never even used it once and I didn't want my money back, just a replacement. I was given the manufacturer's number. Call me if you want. I spent a lot of money in Amazon and rarely send anything back unless it doesn't fit or it doesn't work, I believe they should take it back and deal with the manufacturer. I wasted my money and was let down by Amazon support services after I wasted my time working with them. You've got nothing to thank me for.

I am making jerky in my machine
5/5

It's kind of hard to understand why people claim they use this product negatively, but I've been using it since 2013 without any problems. It has been my go-to for years to make beef jerky for me and I've experienced no issues with the heating element as others seem to have experienced. There are only a few things I don't like about it, like having to clean the trays and there being no The rest of the product is excellent.

I am disappointed
3/5

It is disappointing that the lifespan of this product is so short. For our dog who suffers from pancreatitis, we prepare low fat jerky for him. It worked for a period of time, but then the warranty ran out, so the dehydrator didn't work. We found that the plastic trays did not last long either, because, after 14 months, they became brittle and began breaking. You may want to spend a little more money and find one with stainless racks and a good heater that will not burn out a year after you buy it if you plan to use it once a month like we did.

It only lasted three months before it stopped working! It only lasted three months before it stopped working! I bought the same model for the second time (the first one lasted about 2 years) and it lasted 3 months when I used it once weekly to make Make sure you read the fine print before buying! I'm going to give it a shot Tomorrow, call Nesco and we'll help you As I am sure I will need to return the unit myself, I will have to pay for the return shipping
3/5

read reviews where it claimed Nesco had refurbished the motor or fan for a few years but most reviewers said it did not last! The following updates have been made Customer service has been contacted and we're working on it I was asked if I always use all four trays and when I said not always, they said that was the reason for the motor/fuse blowing. My responsibility now is to send them back and make sure their requirements are met I asked if they could repair it if not, I was told they would replace it. It is most definitely not something I will buy from Nesco again!.

A second purchase has been made
3/5

A second failure has occurred. This is the second time that Nesco has refused to honor its product. A second failure has occurred. In the event that a product fails past its warranty period, Nesco will not replace the product. I see that several people are having the same issue if you look through the reviews. Buying this and using it sparingly results in it stopping working altogether. When I bought it the first time, I had to buy another one. The chip does a sensational job for a dog treat and veggie chip. However, my most recent one (which I picked up at Walmart last spring) has not been used much, and in fact stopped working yesterday As soon as I emailed Nesco, they responded promptly and asked for the model numbers, the receipts and proof of a 30-day Therefore, no replacement is needed. If you want a dust collector to last a year, I strongly recommend you find a company that cares about its customers enough to create a product that works or stand behind the product that will malfunction after.

There is no way to know if it was the fan or heating element, but it is pretty certain it is not worth trying to fix
3/5

In October of 2014, I bought this and did not use it for 2 years, but I started using it once or twice a week for nuts and crackers last year. I lost access to it yesterday. There is no way to know if it was the fan or heating element, but it is pretty certain it is not worth trying to fix. Since I found the process to be quite complicated, I guess it is time for an upgrade. A tray that pulls out would make it much easier to stack items so you have plenty of space. In my attempt to dehydrate Portobello mushrooms, I realized that it was not going to work. **** **** **** To be honest, I was disappointed that the thing burned out after only a few uses. A lot more time should have been spent on it.

This is a great dehydrator
5/5

This dehydrator came into my possession two months ago, and I use it almost every week to make jerky. For the first time in my life I bought a dehydrator. In the old days, I used to make jerky in my MES 30 smoker, but it was too time-consuming. In addition, I'd have to go outside even when the weather's bad just to look at it. This is an easy to use and easy to clean device. It is impossible for a dummy to set the temperature incorrectly. The thick cut (1/4") beef jerky is finished in about five hours. It is really not loud at all. There is nothing to hear it because of the tv and other sounds in the house. I went to make some jerky yesterday and I couldn't turn the fan A fan is not present, but the machine heats up. In just 15 minutes after I emailed Nesco, I received a response. There will be a head sent to me. I would keep you posted if I bought a new FD!

Just a couple of things I would keep you posted on if I bought a new FD You should clean and allow to dry the trays after they have been washed with warm soapy water. Once they have been washed, you should again wash them. Put the dehydrator on without any food and let it run for a few hours. After that, you can wash the dehydrator You will no longer smell plastic after doing this. The second method of crafting with plastic canvas is to use it as a canvas. Similarly, darice (which can be purchased at Joann's) is food safe. You can get liners for a much cheaper price than those made by Nesco.

It is a good value for the price
3/5

As a family we have been trying to do more gardening this year, and we have Our goal was to find item that is easy to clean, has at least 3 tiers, and affordable, and we found that here. I can get everything to work, it takes a long time to dehydrate, and this is the big con. There will be no shut-down By turning it off or by setting a time, it will turn For it to be turned off, you will have to unplug it. You can buy a timer and have it connected to it, and it will shut off automatically. Even though we didn't really want to purchase another thing to fix the issue, at the end of the day, that's the only way we could figure out how to do.
