    Made Oct 30, 2013, sent to the company Dec 27, 2013, published by CPSC Jan 13, 2014

    The product, in the report: Food Dehydrator

    On October 27th, 2013 the caller turned his dehydrator on to 160 degrees F, it instantly began heating to higher and higher temperatures. The dehydrator had been running for about four minutes with no burning odors and with temperature not reading over 160. When he removed the top he saw that the trays were melted and remained warped when he removed them. The trays are now bent and wilted.

    The caller is reporting this incident as a safety issue due to there being no sign of overheating and yet the unit was burning up.

    There are no injuries to be reported

    The caller has not contacted the manufacturer but does intend to contact them.
