Title: I've drowned my Thermi
Post by: Jenny H on March 04, 2011, 07:35:17 am: :o :o :o :o

I've just made some nut milk (1 litre) and have drowned my Thermi. I had a lid leak - cleaned and reapplied the lid - then noticed milk coming from the overflow hole in the back. I got an Error 37 and now the screen has gone funny. I've unplugged from the wall and tried again but the screen is still funny.

Have I drowned my Thermi - please tell me that the magic Thermomix Fairy will fix him.

I wait with a thumping, fast heart beat.

Jenny

:'( :'( :'(

Should really do it straight away if anything like that happens, or you spill something in it - there's little holes underneath that liquid can drain out of. Hopefully it will dry out and be okay. Sounds like you might need a new seal though - that would be why it leaked I think. Ring your consultant too!!

Post by: ThermomixBlogger on March 04, 2011, 04:50:22 pm: My oh my! :o Poor you - :'( I was going to suggest blowing at it from all sides and at close range with a hair dryer. This reminds me a bit of what happens when you spill something on a computer keyboard. It usually works okay after drying out... upside down helps, as does hot air... maybe. Fingers crossed for you!!!

Post by: quirkycooking on March 05, 2011, 06:33:29 am: No problem - I learnt the hard way! My son put the bowl on not put together properly and I poured water in... the tech told me to do that and it worked - all good. :)

Hello everyone and THANK YOU for the advice and best wishes.

After ringing my lovely consultant, Thermi has been upside down on a pillow on the guest bed for the last 24 hrs - resting!

I've just come home from work, dreading the thoughts of plugging him in, but, it had to be done.

THERMI IS ALIVE AND WELL - phew!!!

I've order a new seal and booked my surgery to have my heart removed from my throat.

Thanks again everyone.

Jenny

You'll have to ask Thermi to make you a nice soothing sorbet for your post-op recovery. :D

Post by: sabimby on March 11, 2011, 01:38:00 am: we've drowned ours twice!! both times we unplugged it, left it on the bench where it was (recommended by our consultant not to move it at all), and didn't use it for at least 48 hours. came back to life no worries, but they sure were tense 48 hours...

Post by: Twitterpated on March 11, 2011, 08:06:09 am: All this talk of drowned thermies makes me tense. I'm not sure what I would do if it happened to me - after picking myself up off the floor that is.
