# Globe G12 Slicer: Used-Buy Risk, Parts & What to Check | KitchenRisk

> Globe G12 slicer used-buy guide: OEM troubleshooting risks (dull knife, worn table gap, motor overheat), confirmed $52.60 belt part, and a pre-purchase checklist.

**Verdict:** inspect

No verified used-market price found (parts confirmed: $52.60 OEM drive belt); OEM troubleshooting guide flags dull/chipped knife and worn knife-to-table gap as the top cause of ragged cuts, and motor overheat as a stop-running fault — inspect blade edge, sharpener stones, slicer-table gap, and motor reset behavior before buying.

**Documented failure risks:**
- Knife edge / knife-to-table gap: OEM troubleshooting table: "Ragged cuts-poor yield. 1. Dull knife 2. Chipped knife 3. Knife-slicer table gap too wide 4. Knife too small." Solution: "Sharpen knife-make sure knife and stones are clean... Sharpen or have new knife installed... Call for service to adjust slicer table... Have new knife installed."
- Drive motor / motor reset button: OEM troubleshooting table: "Slicer stops running. Cause: Motor overheated." Solution: "Wait 10-15 minutes for slicer to cool down. Push the reset button, then start the slicer."
- Knife cover / food chute / end weight / slicer table alignment: OEM troubleshooting table: "Metal rubbing knife. 1. Knife cover 2. Food chute 3. End weight 4. Slicer table." Solution: "Tighten knife cover release knob... Tighten or adjust food chute knob... Have defective end weight replaced... Call for service to adjust slicer table."
