Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Thermomix over 4 years old and not lasting well
« on: February 08, 2015, 03:59:04 am »
Hi everyone
I am wondering if any else is experienceing faults with older TMXs? I have had mine since Oct 2010 and have had a few things replaced under warranty (blade seal, lid seal and spatula). The printing on the front is slowly rubbing off, but not bad enough to get it replaced.
About 4 months ago I had trouble with the scales. It was shipped to Melbourne at my expense and they found nothing wrong. It is now under measuring again 4 months later. The feet are clean, the chord is out and it is still under measuring. And now my measuring cup broke in half last week and I have noticed the hard plastic at the base of the blades where it is contact with the base of the machine is cracking and perishing.
I know I can't expect it to last forever, but I was hoping for a little longer than 4 years!! Brisbane now has a workshop, so I will taking it there next week.
Anyone else with an older machine having similar problems or a solution?
Cheers
Pippa
