Title: My TM isn't heating.
Post by: Cornish Cream on March 05, 2011, 05:09:55 pm

This afternoon I tried to use my TM to make a new recipe and when I tried to melt the butter with the sugar @50c the light came on but after a while the light went off.I tried again but no go it keeps going out.It won't heat to any temperature.The rest of the functions are fine,scales,speed,clock, turbo.Any thoughts to the problem???

I can't help but just wanted to send my condolences ...

I can't imagine the horror, poor you, I hope you sort it out quickly.

Thanks Nik,I will phone UK Thermomix and see what they say.If necessary I will take my TM to them,it's only a hours drive.Fingers crossed that it won't take long to repair and it's not too costly.

Oh poor you CC - I do hope it's something simple to fix.    Is the machine still under guarantee?

I guess you can still make sorbets, although why you would want to in this weather is another matter  ;D ;D

I remember the time when my TM wouldn't heat up, but that was because i forgot to set the time. I wish your TM a speedy recovery.

Yes, that could be your problem CC.  Try again and make sure you set the time.  I just tried heating mine up @ 50^o without entering any specific time and although it flashed for almost a minute, it then stopped flashing and was still stone cold.  Good pick up petit4s.

I'm one happy lady this morning my TM is working again.I can't tell you how relieved I am,I didn't realize until yesterday how my cooking relied on my machine,it was a very sobering thought.Thanks for your suggestions,maybe in my panic to get it to work I didn't set the time. :-)) Thanks for all of your support  :-* :-*
