Cleaning TM Plastic Parts in Dishwasher????

[Cornish Cream]

Sorry thermohaven I should have written because my bowl is quite old (I have had my TM for 41/2 years)it was supplied with the older type of blades.

All my parts get washed in the dishwasher and several times every day(5-15) times but my dishwasher is also faster then home dishwashers(2.5 min). Dont know if its the dishwasher which has broken my jug but i have had to buy 2 new Jugs the past 2 years and have had 2 machine repairs and 3 sets of blades. I think i have spent about 7-800 euro in 2 years on the TMX.
Anyway im just happy that its fast and easy to have it repaired and its not so different then any other appliance in a professional kitchen, they all need repairs once in a while.

In France it all goes in the dishwasher, bowl, whisk, blades, lid, mc and varoma but only the newer versions ie the last few years, apparnelty the older versions are not dishwasher safe.  In the manual it says you can put it in the dishwasher so in any case any problems from washing in the dishwasher would be covered under warranty 

I have an "older" TM bowl and the blades are different to look at than the newer version.I have put the lid and seal in the dishwasher.

thanks CC forget to menbtion you can tell by the baldes...i foudn that out as a girlfriend of mine has the older thermomix and blades and she cant put hers in the dishwasher...also I know there can be problems with the spatula and the old blades butr you can buy new blade set but Im not sure why its not dishwasher safe like the newer models..  For the cloudiness Ive been told if you put white vinegar in teh rinsing liquid compartment that gets rid of cloudy items...not sure if it works as i have ony just put the vinegar in and havent put a load of dishes through yet!.. Another girlfriend of mine just got her thoermomix and the mc is all new and shiny..

These are what my older type of blades look like.

I had to go and get my blades to compare them with yours CC - only then could I see the difference

The newer blades are so much easier to clean.The older type of blades get bits stuck between those prongs that stick up in the middle.
