To her collapsable bowl in the dishwasher! It shrunk :( Is it still under warranty? The bowl is only 1 mo. old.
 
It's a guarantee, not a warranty. Well, the lid isn't dishwasher safe, so washing it in the dishwasher just voided the guarantee.

A new lid is $6 on the replacements part form, and she won't have to pay shipping. It's item #279M.

• If a product arrived damaged or does not perform according to Use and Care instructions, please contact the Solution Center within 30 days from the ship date of the Show.

• If you are not completely satisfied with a nonconsumable product within one year from the date of purchase, contact our Solution Center. Upon return of product with original sales receipt (at your expense), we will replace, refund or exchange the item for any other item available...

PC has great product guarantees, but I think the teenager should pay for the lid, not PC. If your customer is really angry about it, I guess the 2nd paragraph I posted would apply.....but the lid is only $6.

I struggle with my son knowing which items are dishwasher safe, as well. I feel her pain.
 
Oh, the lid ISN'T dishwasher safe? I washed it in the dishwasher but it didn't shrink. People must be using super hot water or something. I will know better now!

Thank you very much for that information!
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your collapsible bowl shrunk in the dishwasher. That must be frustrating! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that our products are designed to withstand normal use and cleaning. I would recommend checking the care instructions for the bowl and seeing if there are any specific guidelines for dishwasher use. If not, then I would suggest reaching out to our customer service team to see if the bowl is still under warranty. They will be able to assist you further and hopefully get the issue resolved. Best of luck!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my teenager washed the lid of my Pampered Chef product?

If your teenager accidentally washed the lid of your Pampered Chef product, first check the care instructions that came with the item. Many lids are dishwasher safe, but some may require hand washing. If the lid is damaged or warped, consider contacting Pampered Chef customer service for assistance or to inquire about replacement options.

Will washing the lid affect the performance of my Pampered Chef product?

Washing the lid should not affect the performance of your Pampered Chef product as long as it is cleaned according to the manufacturer's guidelines. However, if the lid is damaged or not properly dried, it could lead to issues with sealing or functionality. Always ensure that the lid is in good condition before using the product.

Can I still use my Pampered Chef product if the lid is missing?

While you can still use the product without the lid, it may not function as intended. Many Pampered Chef items are designed to work with their specific lids for optimal performance. If the lid is lost or damaged, consider purchasing a replacement lid through Pampered Chef's customer service or website.

How can I prevent my teenager from accidentally washing my Pampered Chef lids in the future?

To prevent future accidents, consider setting clear guidelines for your teenager about which kitchen items are dishwasher safe and which are not. You could also designate specific areas for hand-washed items or use labels to indicate which products should be treated with care. Communication about the importance of these items can help avoid mishaps.

Is there a warranty or guarantee if my lid was damaged during washing?

Pampered Chef offers a limited warranty on many of their products, which may cover defects in materials or workmanship. However, damage caused by improper care, such as washing a non-dishwasher safe lid in the dishwasher, may not be covered. It's best to check the warranty details for your specific product or contact customer service for guidance.
