Hello from Finland
« on: January 22, 2015, 03:51:18 pm »
Hello From Finland. I ordered a used TM21 Special Edition from Ebay and it doesn't work. It beeps three times and pauses, again three beeps and so on when I turn the speed selector. I think that it might be the security switch at the base.

Does anybody know what these three beeps mean and is the repair manual available from somewhere? I will probably send it back (seller was  kochstudio-engel and they are slow to respond to my email and delivery took 3 weeks and so on) but I would really want to use the machine now.

Thanks for any help.

Welcome Serema.
I'm afraid I have never owned a TM21 ( I've owned a TM31 and now have a TM5) so can't help you but I have found the TM21 manual online for you read.

Thanks, I have read it already. Was one of reasons for purchase (that is, the machine will probably do everything I want it to do so no need for more expensive models). It might be that just a few wires are off or something like it.

Thanks, I contacted the Lithuanian distributor. Will turn to Vorwerk if they don't reply.

I am kind of hurry as I will have to do something to the matter next week. If the seller won't reply my emails I will probably initiate an Ebay return process and that means I won't have TM21 for a month or so.

Hello serema, are you getting an error message in the window when this beeping is happening?  It can be risky purchasing off Ebay, sellers are not always honest.  Hopefully the Lithuanian distributor will get back to you and they can arrange for someone to look at the machine,, I hope it's easily fixed and you enjoy your Thermomix experience.

Hi Serema. The thermomix is a wonderful machine so I do hope you can get the problem sorted out quickly.

I think that the seller was a distributor as they are selling lots of these machines. It was kochstudio-engel but they are not replying to my email, will send new email Monday and if they don't reply it will start Ebay return process Wednesday. That just means no TM21 for a month or so.

Latest development, the suppler wants the machine for repair. That will mean at least 3 weeks without thermomix. Fortunately I am thinking just three weeks with salad and VLCD soups & drinks.

It certainly is good news. At least you are able to have it repaired.
