Title: Worried about TMX base
Post by: rainbow on January 07, 2015, 10:42:15 am

Just wondering if anyone has noticed the base of TMX base being loose? I have been making bread a lot lately and I am concerned it has made the base loose.  Thelma is 5 years old this month (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/07/aa643de4dad604d7695ef2d23ebfba03.jpg) (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/07/56897387834f84ba32c91133da027f4e.jpg)

I make several loaves of bread a week Rainbow. I just checked mine and it seems ok. It looks as though yours needs to be tightened somehow. I couldn't see any way to do it.

I think "Thelma" might need a bit of TLC rainbow.Do you have a second bowl you can use until this problem is resolved?

No second bowl, I think I might try and get a local rep around and see what they suggest, thanks

I definitely think you should get it looked at.

The consultant has looked at my bowl/base and after we talked awhile I have decide it isn't much of a problem, still fits firm on the machine and everything clicks into place, but as the new model is now available I am concerned about getting parts if it did cause a problem so I have ordered a new bowl as a safeguard

I believe they will have parts for the TM 31 for years to come rainbow. However it is a wise move. Happy thermomixing.

Rainbow I just checked the bottom of one of my bowls and there is a little bit of movement there, if it gets really loose I may be tempted to pop a little bit of glue under there to keep it stable, ??

Not sure I would glue it, but it definitely makes you feel that it's all is needed a bit of glue to stabilise, but it is good and firm when on the machine...
