Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Display goes crazy!

Hi all!  Thanks Judy for the experiment, the weird thing is the TM works in my mother-in-law's house without going beserk (or should that be the other way round? ;) )

Anyhow, I've had the machine 6+ years, and not too sure how good the local reps are where we live now, but will check it out and let you all know the outcome - let's hope it's not too expensive, otherwise the 'sneaking up' approach will have to suffice!

Well, I've tried it in the bedroom, but with the same results.  I thought it was just my magnetic personality  ;D but then when my wife approaches the TM it does the same ;)

I have cleaned the feet, same result.

Made chicken curry today, decided to try and 'fool' the machine.  I added the ingredients from about 30cm high, kind of sneaking up on it, and it works!!  Measured perfectly, as long as I don't get too close.  I think the next time I'll try it from behind, see if that's any better - which has made me think, what are the sensors on the left of the display for?  Anyone know?  Maybe this is the problem  :-\

Yep, I use normal scales but it takes all the fun out of using the TM, especially when it comes to weighing liquids.  I'll see what comes up on this post for now before contacting VW!!

Have moved recently and my scales have gone crazy!  When I press reset all is OK until I reach out to the machine - it begins to weigh crazily without even touching it!  When I remove my hand, it goes back to zero!!  I have ensured that it's on a flat surface (tried it on the floor with the same result), that the cord is fully extended, that it is not touching anything, that there is no water in the bottom, that the feet are clean, etc. but to no avail.  Took it to a friends house and it worked perfectly... :-\

Now, I live on the 10th floor of an apartment block of 11 floors.  Can there be some kind of magnetic interference?  I understand that the TM31 is shielded against this type of thing.  All other electrical aparatus work perfectly in the apartment.

Anyone have the same problem?  Any solution?

Thanks!! Adrian.
