Help please - TM making high pitched screeching sound
« on: September 04, 2012, 09:48:17 am »
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out with a TM concern.  Last night while cooking rice (normal method), the machine was on sp 4 and it started to make a high pitched squeaking sound.  I reduced the sp to 2 and it was fine.  Today while pureeing soup as the sp got past 6 it did the same thing.  Does anyone know why this is happening and should I ring my consultant to get my machine checked out?  I've had my TM for about 5 months with no problems.  TIA!

Yes, get your consultant to check it out . . mine does the same thing when I'm steaming fish/vegetables. (between 3 and 4) When I lower the speed the noise disappears . . It doesn't do it all the time but when it does it's extremely annoying I must say!! ;D

Thanks goldfish, I think I'll give her a call tomorrow.  I don't want to damage the machine by ignoring it.

Those numbers are easy enough to reset aren't they Hally?  Maybe your prongs are damp or something.

It's a worry. I'd hate to be without my machine too.
