Thermy won't knead?!!
« on: October 29, 2012, 07:52:43 am »
Morning urgent query
Thermy won't knead today. Press  :: button, nothing.
Reverse ok and so is normal speed 1 to 10.

Ken the kenwood had to rescue Foccacia now in airing cupboard!

Just the obvious one DJ. Have you moved the dial to the lid locked position?

Thanks. DD
Yes because it works on all other settings.
I press knead and the symbol does not come on at all.
Press reverse and it works.
On any number 1 to 10 it works.

I did unplug hally and plug back in. Think I lifted up. Will try again

I find firm discipline works the best - "if you don't sort yourself out right now I'm going to turn you off and ignore you for an hour or two". If he/she/it stll won't play ball, follow through with the threat. After an hour or so you'll often find your TMX is good as gold!!!

i had this problem today too.  Was making pizza dough and thermie just didn't want to play.  I have it unplugged now so hopefully mine too will behave again when I plug it back in.

Just tried Thermie again and all is good.  Actually, thinking about it I think the fault was all mine and not Thermie's (yep, user error who would have thought??).  I think I may have flicked the dial onto speed 1 while trying to use the  :: function instead of leaving it in the 'lid closed' position.  Oops!

It certainly does.  It doesn't knead when your dough is hot too. I nearly did freak out the first time I made gnocchi.

Quite easily done! Hence the best way to resolve most of these types of problems is to turn everything off, have a cuppa (or a glass) and then get back to business. Have fun.
