What are the parts of a slow cooker?
A KitchenAid slow cooker like model KSC6223SS0 is built around a heated base plus removable cooking pieces. The core parts are the base housing (with heater and controls), the inner bowl (crock), the lid, and small support hardware such as feet and screws.
- Base housing: contains the heating system, wiring, and temperature control/selector
- Inner bowl (crock): holds food and transfers heat evenly
- Lid: helps retain heat and moisture during cooking
- Feet: stabilize the unit and help protect the countertop
- Fasteners (screws): secure the base and internal components
For this model, these are the most common replaceable items:
| Part on the slow cooker | What it does | Example part for KSC6223SS0 |
|---|---|---|
| Inner bowl | Holds food; provides the cooking surface | Slow cooker inner bowl, 6-qt WPW10443093 |
| Lid | Seals in heat and moisture | Lid WPW10443094 |
| Foot | Keeps the base stable and slightly raised | Foot W10443092 |
| Screw | Secures components in the base | Screw W10443091 |
- Match the model number KSC6223SS0 (not just “KitchenAid slow cooker”).
- Identify whether you need a removable piece (lid, bowl) or base hardware (foot, screw).
- Check for visible damage: chips/cracks in the bowl, warped lid, missing feet, stripped screws.
- Confirm quantity needed (for example, feet are often used in multiples).
- If the slow cooker will not heat, focus first on power supply and controls; cosmetic parts will not fix a heating issue.
Knowing the major parts helps you troubleshoot faster and order the correct replacement. For example, a cracked inner bowl is a food-safety and performance issue, while a missing foot can cause wobbling and countertop heat exposure.

What's the difference between a slow cooker and a crockpot?
A Crock-Pot is a brand name of slow cooker, while “slow cooker” is the general category. Your KitchenAid slow cooker model KSC6223SS0 is a slow cooker; people often say “crockpot” generically, but the real difference is usually brand and pot design, not the cooking method.
- Slow cooker: Any countertop appliance designed for low-and-slow, moist-heat cooking.
- Crock-Pot: A specific brand of slow cooker (often used as a generic term).
Different slow cookers can heat and behave a little differently depending on the insert and heating layout.
- Insert material: Many use stoneware; some use metal.
- Heat distribution: Some heat more from the sides; others more from the bottom.
- Cooking speed: Bottom-heavy heating can cook a bit faster and may be more prone to hot spots.
- Controls: Manual knobs vs. digital timers and temperature control.
- Serving and cleanup: Removable inserts and lids make a big difference.
If you need a replacement insert or cover for your KitchenAid unit, match the part to your model:
| Feature | Slow cooker (general) | Crock-Pot (brand) |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Appliance type | Specific brand |
| Insert styles | Stoneware or metal | Often stoneware (varies by model) |
| Controls | Manual or digital | Manual or digital |
| Cooking method | Low, steady moist heat | Low, steady moist heat |
When you are buying parts, accessories, or comparing recipes, the model and insert style matter more than the word “crockpot.” For KSC6223SS0, using the correct inner bowl and lid helps maintain proper heat retention, cook times, and safe handling.

Why is my KitchenAid slow cooker not turning on?
If your KitchenAid slow cooker model KSC6223SS0 is not turning on, the most common causes are no power at the outlet, a damaged power cord, or an internal safety device (thermal cutoff) opening. Start with simple power checks before assuming the cooker needs parts.
- Plug a different small appliance into the same outlet to confirm the outlet has power.
- If you are using a power strip or extension cord, plug the slow cooker directly into a wall outlet.
- Unplug the slow cooker for 2 minutes, then plug it back in and try again.
- Inspect the cord and plug for cuts, melted spots, or a loose prong.
- If your model has a removable crock, reseat it fully; some units will not heat correctly if the bowl is not seated flat.
A slow cooker that is completely dead (no lights, no heat) usually points to a power supply issue or an internal thermal fuse. If the unit powers on but does not heat, that is a different symptom.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| No lights, no heat | Outlet/cord issue or internal thermal cutoff | Verify outlet, inspect cord, then consider service |
| Lights on, no heat | Heating circuit issue | Stop using and have it checked |
| Intermittent power | Loose connection in cord or control | Avoid moving cord; inspect for damage |
The parts we list for KSC6223SS0 are mostly external or removable items; they will not typically fix a “won’t power on” problem.
- Slow cooker inner bowl, 6-qt WPW10443093 (fit and seating issues, spills)
- Lid WPW10443094 (steam retention, cooking performance)
- Foot W10443092 (stability)
- Screw W10443091 (hardware)
A slow cooker that will not power on can indicate an electrical fault. Continuing to troubleshoot while it is plugged in can create a shock or burn hazard, so we keep the checks focused on safe, external steps.
