So, so sorry Shanmac.  My heart really goes out to you and hopefully you will get it back very, very soon.  I agree, a courtesy TM should be offered.

Most definately - a courtesy machine!!!!!  I feel for you and do hope that it is back very quickly (or a new one - whichever comes first). 
You haven't failed at anything until you stop trying.

Hi Shanmac, this is first post - and the same thing happened to me this week. I finally got my TM on Monday and then Tuesday night got Error 55! Tried the usual things but no luck. Have called my consultant who hopefully will sort it out.
I had it less than 24 hours! Maybe it was a bad batch?  :(

Well Mezza39 isn't that interesting - 2 brand new machines with the same problem!!

Have just got back from a night away but haven't heard anything about my machine - will have to chase it up.

Keeping customers in the loop obviuosly not a high priority!

It appears that the powers that be at HO Aust have a lot to answer and obviously very few care - Shannon I really feel your exapseration and rightly placed anger  :)

Well my Thermie has arrived back home safe & sound, but my disappointment with the company grows.

First they ring to tell me that is has been repaired not replaced & when it arrived at HO it was working fine but the technicians could see on the computer that the error had been coming up - what after waiting two years did they think I just made it up!!@!

Second no little were sorry gift - thought they may have thrown a recipe book, bread mat something in, actually there was nothing in the box but Thermie.

So once again elated.....then disappointed.

Shan, that's good that you got it back. But no good for customer service.

I would be disappointed too.

Shanmac, read the attached document from page 13 on, you should be entitled to a replacement !

shan im not in oz but when my machine had its problems I had the same kind of treatment until I got quite upset with them and wrote a few emails well then I got a reaction and I also asked my consultant to come and have a look at it as wehn they sent it back they didnt even put it back together properly or replace the cracked lid.  After my consultant had passed by, I had heard from the head of customer service who said she would investigate then finally saying that they apologise for any inconvenience as I had got quite upset that they thought I may be lying about the machine and said they never touched the area that was now (and wasnt before leaving me) out of place.  I ended up with two books for the mishap..one from my consultant and the other from the head of customer serivce.  I totally understand you disappointment and I would be expressing your disappointment to head office, especially as it broke so quickly!  :)
