Title: Master Touch Question
Post by: SteveZ on March 07, 2018, 11:46:17 AM
First, I bought a Master Touch today off craigslist with a Lid Serial Number beginning with CA. I know its pretty new but does anybody know if its a 2016 or 2017 maybe. I'm also looking for a lid handle. The plastic part of the handle ii broken in half.

Thanks
Steve

Things got a bit more complicated in 2013 when Weber started laser-etching a nine-character alphanumeric code onto the lid damper alongside the two-letter alphabetic code. The code consists of two letters + seven numbers—two letters represent the model year using the word "CONSUMABLE" as the key and seven numbers as a serial number

C O N S U M A B L E
1  2 3 4 5 6  7 8 9 0

Per this CA -> 2017

Register it with Weber and I would be willing to bet they replace that handle for no cost to you....

@Bob BQ , Yes, The wife and I made a road trip to Columbia Yesterday! Looks in decent shape. Needs cleaned and a lid handle. I think the metal part of the handle can be straightened a bit but only half of the top handle is there. a Friend of the owners tied a dog out to the top handle! What were they thinking! I've done an internet search. Can't find the plastic MT handle. I'll come to the club first, if not I may have to go to Weber for the part.
