I don’t use this much and after less then 10 times, the holder disintegrated. The plastic is hollow and looks to be paper thin. This looks like a manufacturing defect or horrible design. What are my remedies to get this corrected? ![IMG_2487](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/2X/9/92c05fa597f904c4c8297a323d31b5bd3952db09.jpeg) ![IMG_2488](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/2X/c/cb8c12eb7db5451128dc23ac6f3d8cc5c92fc4e0.jpeg) ---

Contact the ultra crap customer service idiots for a replacement, good luck, they can bungle a lot of incredibly simple things as they are pretty much worthless day to day and have sod all actual knowledge of their limited product portfolio. ---

I bought a replacement for one of the other ANOVA cookers that was a bit larger than my old PC so that I cannot clamp it so tight that the differential thermal expansion between the cooker and the holder breaks the holder. That was quite a while ago. ---

Also you can use a suitable glue and clamp the clamp to bond it, did this after checking with anova a few years ago so it is logged in the archive of broken clamp tears threads. As are the quick fix alternates, grab a cuppa, go read, 👍😉
