heard from steve today re my machine's diagnosis. was not good - but at least it will be on its way back to me tomorrow!!!

apparently the engine had to be replaced, mainly because of too many spills in it (oops)
while it was apart he checked the scales and they were very grotty and had a good clean
the blade was stuffed and had to be replaced (REMIINDER to crush ice regularly, id idn't know to do it for the first 18 months)
there was a dint in the bowl which was causing it to leak

my poor machine :(

and, i can't believe it, it took a week to get there :( am praying it doesn't take another week to get back, i feel like i have one of y arms chopped off :(

and we are also hoping desperately that this is not going to happen in another 2 years when it won't be under warranty, must take better care of it  :-[

A lesson for all of us Karen, to take care of them I suppose. I must make sure I crush more ice.

Oh dear!  Well I guess it shows you use it a lot!

I need to go and put some ice in to chop.

 :o Not a good diagnosis!! Hope it comes winging it's way home very soon! And LOOK AFTER IT!!  :D
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Thanks for asking that question as I wondered too. Perhaps one of our esteemed consultants could tell us how this happens so we can avoid it. Pretty please?

How we could spill things onto/into the motor. I thought it seemed all sealed up.

ahh! when you look at where the heating bits go in it's actually not sealed, so stuff can get in there. i have a habit of overfilling mine though so i have had overflows much more than i should, i am such a bad thermomix-mummy LOL

I hope it comes back soon Karen.

I was really worried that I had dented my bowl too as it was leaking badly.  Thankfully a new seal fixed the leak.  My blades are also ruined, but will have to do until I can afford a new set.  I crush ice in my machine weekly now (instead of monthly as advised), but the damage is already done.

Always look on the bright side  ;) ;) ;D

Think that some bits may go down the right arm where the clip is to engage the lid?  Always worry that things may go down into the guts.
