the last few days i havent been happy with my bread, the keanding sounds and look have changed the dough just sticks to the side only, and this morning i found black spots in the dough, i thought something was in the flour, so i just added some water and flour in the bowl and it happened agian
-
It looks like grease Uni. Do you think maybe it's coming off the blade?
-
yes i think it is grease Mich
come to think about yesterday i was having problems while i was making veg stock
-
Oh no. Is your TM still under warrenty?
-
yes dede it is . so what do i do now
-
I would ring consultant or HO directly. Something's not right there somewhere
-
The blade itself isn't broken is it? Do you have a second bowl?
-
blade looks fine, and no i dont have a second bowl
-
Can you tell where it is coming from? If you set the blades running and have a look through the measuring cup hole with a torch you might be able to see where it is coming from.
-
I'm assuming it would come from inside the blade turn bit some how. That's the only place it could come from I would think.
-
Ring HO.
-
done that already Mich :(
-
Ring HO.
Seems the best option.
-
Ring HO.
ACH do u know what i mean about the dough just sticking to the sides only
-
will I bin the veg stock i made yesterday :-\
-
Maybe the blades are broken inside and not actually turning while kneading properly , therefore not mixing the dough. That's the only thing I can think of. Should be as simple as replacing the blade hopefully. I have 6 months left on my warrant. Hopefully if anything is going to happen it will happen in the next 6 months.
Fundj you make a lot of bread don't you? I'm assuming that kneading would Cause the most strain on the blades. Good thing the stuffed up now rather than after the warranty runs out.
-
Oh Uni, looks bad that dough.
Yes bin everything, grease woud contain poisons for sure.
Bummer
H
-
I do make a lot of bread, nearly every day
i think my 2 years will be up in nov, plus i paid with C/C and i think i got an extra years worth of warranty need to check that out
-
Looks and sounds to me like you have done your blades Uni >:( Hopefully you will hear from HO today and get you sorted ASAP ;)
-
Hope you got it sorted Uni. :)
-
Faffa, if its the blades, how long do they last?

i really hope its only the blades
OH is in perth right ?
-
Hope you get it sorted quickly and aren't without your TM for too long! And yes HO is in Perth.
-
;)
-
You could email them a photo of the dough as well as call them Uni so they can see the problem.

Technically forever ... it is overloading the TM that strips the blades. It is best to always follow weights and times that are on your green magnetic card (it is also in the basics section of the EDC)
I have stripped one set of blades but DH and DS's have a nasty habit of overloading. I go crook, especially if it makes MY beloved TMX do the little squeaky sound (that is the TMX crying cause it is working too hard I tell them!!!) :'( :'(
-
what did HO say about the blades Uni..
-
to early in perth to call now robyn
-
Yes its 7.27am
Cold here too, ice on the car :o
-
I forget about the time difference in states..
-
Uni how sad. I really feel for you. HO should be awake now so I hope you have rung. I make a lot of bread in my machine too. :'(
-
Technically, you should go through your consultant, if you still have one.
When you ring HO, make sure that you tell them the code on the bottom of your machine. They want to be able to keep track of faults.
Good luck Uni!
-
i have called now i am waiting for the technician to call back
-
Uni the machine wont have to go to Perth there is someone in Sydney that will fix it or they did with mine anyway, I think he is on the coast or somewhere. Hope you have a box to send it in, I think they came and picked it up
-
Uni, so sorry to hear that but great that it is still under warranty - you will be lost without it but if it's just the blades which need replacing, you shouldn't have to wait too long. Your machine has done a lot of work, probably more than anyone's and if they take it away, they will even be able to tell you how many hours it has done as it has a 'black box'. This is another reason why a second bowl is useful - just swap them over to check if the other bowl works and then you have a spare whilst the offending equipment is fixed or replaced. I hope you get a quick reply to your problem from H.O. :-* :-* :-* :-* :'( :'( :'(
-
Uni what terrible luck,fingers crossed it gets sorted soon. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Oh no.. Hope it gets sorted quickly 😳
-
thanks all for the get well messages for jeannie
I hope the technician calls today.

-
blades came quick Uni.
-
they did robyn i was a bit of a :o. my old ones dont leak oil any more do u think i could keep them or will i throw them away ?
-
I probably wouldn't throw them even though I probably wouldn't use them again lol.
Keep them for 6 months, if you don't use them in that time then toss them :)
-
Good luck Uni with trying to cut back on the cooking. It is really hard.
H :)
-
Glad all is sorted Uni. :D
Good luck with cooking for 2 - I still cook in bulk and have 5 to feed, freezer still gets fed fairly well too... :-)) ;)
-
Did they tell you what went wrong with the blades Uni?
-
Just going off on a tangent for a moment - where is the recipe for the Sour Cream Loaf - sounds yum....
sorry to hijack lol... you can get back to talking about blades now ;)
-
Its in the bread thread :)

astarra your link was not working
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9106.30
whoops, sorry! :-[
Thanx Uni. :)
-
Uni did they say your blade problem was common? Lucky your TMX was in warranty, but I worry that once my warranty is out of date, things will start to go wrong. (My dad keeps getting in my ear saying I'm going to wear the machine out!)
-
they would not say that robyn , but i could tell by the way the lady was talking that it was
-
won't hurt to keep them, I would.
-
I'm sure we are all guilty of overloading our bowl at times and the end result can sometimes be what happened to Uni's blades. I know when I had a problem with my machine (in warranty) it was probably my fault. I was making pumpkin soup and instead of cooking the pumpkin first, I decided to chop it and the pieces were quite big and the bowl was full. It was shortly after that when my speed dial wouldn't turn and my machine had to be taken away for repairs. Luckily my blades survived and I am still using them almost 2 years after that incident.
-
guilty,i have made the olive oil bread rolls from the UK site a few times.but i would think if its on the official site it would be ok
also have grated parmesan cheese @ 200gram instead of 150 grams
-
Ah yes, I must look at those overloading recommendations again..
-
I had to have a look at all these posts as my blades were a little crazy. They were going round but making a horrid noise. When I took the bowl out I could spin the blades very easily. Fortunately I had an old set I could use. This was in the 31 so I can't complain. DH still got his milkshake using frozen banana. 😄😄
-
It pays to have spare blades cookie.
-
I was going to order another set but DH has decided he is going to pull these apart and see what makes them tick. I have the TM5 so I won't be desperate if these others die too.
-
Still disappointing Cookie. At least you have a handy DH. :)
-
Cookie, when mine did that I had to get new blades. May be DH can fix them.
-
I had a spare set Chookie, but will still get another set as I take the 31 away with me.
-
I can't believe what happened to me this morning. Thought I would make a smoothie with left over fruit salad, threw in the fruit, yoghurt, ice and a cup of water then noticed water over my bench!!! Someone had put the blade in the jug on the machine without the base on. Sort of thing you read about! I hope it's ok. It was TM5 and my first reaction was to tip it over.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow when I will try and turn it on.
-
I do hope your TM5 is okay Denise.Do keep it upright though. :-*
-
Denise, I remembered almost straight away to keep the TM 5 upright and tip the TM 31. Cross your finger for me.
-
I hope 5 goes well this morning. I think I will order new blades for my 31, I can't complain after about 8 or 9 years.
-
Bedlam, I think the TMX5 is built to cope with that sort of thing.
-
Denise, I remembered almost straight away to keep the TM 5 upright and tip the TM 31. Cross your finger for me.
I thought you would remember Denise ;)
