Just poured cream and sugar in and turned on with out blades beinging properly attached to bowl. Help!!! It's wet down where the prongs go into the actual machine


Hi morgs

The best thing to do is to let it drain and dry as much as possible. If you have any issues or are concerned, give our Customer Service team a call on 1800 004 838.

Ok I have just done what many others have done, can’t believe after all of these years I poured water in jug and it wasn’t back together properly
so it seems leave it for 48 hours and see what happens?


Hi bluesky327,

Don't worry - this has happened to many people before! Please mop up any visible liquid and allow it to drain. Given that the liquid was thick and contained sugar, it's best to contact our Customer Service Centre as your Thermomix will likely need to be serviced and cleaned.

During the holiday period, our Customer Service team will be available from 27-29 December from 6am-2.30pm WST on 1800 004 838. They can arrange for your Thermomix to be serviced.

Kind regards,

Hi, yesterday milk was poured into th jug with out the seal. The engine wasnt on and milk poured every where. Is this as bad as not having the blade in and does it make a difference if the engine is on or off. Also is milk worse than water as it is a food and not clean like water. We cleaned the milk up and havnt turned the machine on. Its been about 18 hours.
Cheers Linda

I to have just done the unthinkable and didn’t check my Thermomix had been put back together probably before adding water. What can I do to help save my precious Thermo?

Just joined the club. Long day at work, the usual dinner/bedtime chaos with 3 kids under 5. I went to boil some rice for tomorrow's meal. Without checking if my wife had put the blades in, I tipped 1/2 litre of water into the TM5 jug ... prayers for the next 48hours as it dries... Aw


Hi jmanifold,

I've just done the same! (2 ½ weeks of babysitting on top of my usual busy life style is enough to send me into La La Land). Somewhere in the world of Google was the TM31 solution of lying it on its back to open the air vents and drain the fluid away from the critical parts. I'm trying that now and hoping it works.


*sigh. I was in a flap as we are getting ready to make a big move. Completely my fault. I didin't realise that my husband was being sweet and took it apart to clean it throughly. I was talking, grabbed the ug and placed it on and then poured milk all teh way through. Aw Now waiting for support to ring me or email me back. I was excited to ahve this for the move because it would b easy to pop something together whilst surrounded by boxes. Yep. *double sigh.

Please help - I've done the same as everyone below - was rushing and just grabbed the mixing bowl put it on the thermmomix, followed the instructions and threw in 1/2 ltr of water to see it gushing out of the bottom. I unplugged it and have left it to dry but now after 48hrs i've come to try it once again and nothing. The screen doesn't even light up - arrrgghhh! Only had it less than 2 months and pretty much took all our savings. Is there anything i can do to rectify this?

Ive just done the same, Son didnt screw the bottom back on and had placed jug back on the Thermy, half a litre of water and powdered milk later.... Not sure what to do now.

 


So here I was upset and furious about this issue with the water getting into the machine ... When a lovely and very understanding lady from thermomix Brisbane called and saved the day! Thank you Rebecca! I can smile again Smile

 

 


Turned  it on ladies and works perfectly after 48 hours ! 

Yesterday I made stock , peanut butter , sausage rolls , popcorn salt ..... 


Hi Vicstar, well I finally plucked up the courage to try my Thermomix today and it worked just fine,  and using it seems to have sorted out the problem with the recipe chip also.  thank goodness Bigsmile

I hope you have had the same good luck!

So glad to see all these posts about pouring water without blades attached. Trying to encourage my husband to use the thermie, I asked him to make some gnocch.  He did not attach the base but alas, just placed it into the machine and placed the bowl and blades on top.  As I poured a litre of water into the mixing bowl my heart stopped as I saw it pouring out all over my kitchen bench. I unplugged it and mopped up the water straight away. I have been brave enough to turn it on today but as the weighing function is a bit buggered I've turned it off again. Also the recipe chip comes in and out of registering with the machine. Will it be ok if I give it a few days to dry out?

I have been cooking all day.  I went to make yet another recipe, choc custard by tm chip, with my tm5.

I added chocolate chips to the tm bowl to be grated, then added a litre of milk...only to realise that this Dickhead had been cooking so much with it today I forgot to add the base and blades from the previous clean; so milk (1ltr) had poured down under the base! This came as a compete shock as it sounded like it was grating (so the motor was still tossing the choc chips around in the bowl).... The tm is turning on (thankfully ) but won't grate as it saying the pins need wiping.....I really hope I haven't broken my machine. Anyone done this before? Only had it 4 days so still getting used to it over my food processor.....can't believe I forgot to put the darn base and blades on.... I really don't understand how the tm can still function without the blades and base to the bowl! This is a huge flaw in the design and it shouldn't work without those two major parts! It serves both a risk to the life of the tm and safety of the user. This MUST be told in the demonstration "THE THERMOMIX WILL STILL FUNCTION WITHOUT THE BLADES AND BASE WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY RUIN YOUR MOTOR AND CAUSE A SAFETY CONCERN". I just spent ALOT of money on this appliance, moving from a food processor (where you simply click the bowl in to place and will work provided the bowl and lid is securely clicked in to place) to this which requires two additional pieces to the bowl yet will still function if they're missing? ?!! This really isn't acceptable - it's a very expensive kit and in one heartbeat the motor can be destroyed. I'm really hoping I haven't killed it . This is a real problem Thermomix. $2000 plus dollars I just paid for this!! Please help!


Damnation!!! I've just poured water into my bowl, only to see it come pouring out from under the base! Not even 1 week old

Hi,

My son went to make a milkshake tonight and he poured the milk in without the bladein the bowl. Milk came out everywhere and was leaking out of the scale legs. I unplugged it and its sitting on a towel. Has the milk stuffed it because it's coming out of the legs. The machine wasn't on when he poured the milk in, it had shut down because he took forever to get all the ingredients out. I see posts say to put the machine on it's back but you should never do this right. My consultant told me to leave it upright and don't turn it on for 72hrs. Has anyone else done this and left the machine upright and still worked.

Thanks


I just wanted to write this for anyone that may be distressed about getting liquids in their thermomix.  Hopefully this post will help  Smile

I drowned my TM5 on Tuesday night.  I poured water into the bowl without the blade in.  As I was pouring, I heard the sound of running water and realised water was pouring out the bottom of my thermomix.  So I pulled the bowl out and emptied the tiny amount of water left in it and then I rushed over to turn it off (it shut down perfectly) and put tea towels in the area where the bowl sits to soak up the water.  Then about an hour later we tipped it upside down and water seeped out of the sides.  We decided to leave it for a few days to dry out properly so it sat by the window in the sun for about 48hrs.  We turned the thermomix back on on Thursday night and the touch screen appeared to be working perfectly though we didn't actually use it.  Then on Friday afternoon we made pizza dough with absolutely no hiccups.  For now, it looks like my TM5 is ok.

Based on my experience, I recommend turning the machine off immediately and leaving it to dry out for at least 48 hours.

Hi this too happened when my son tried to make a smoothie. The screen turns on but bugs out and freezes. Any suggestions

tracey 


Customer service organised to have my machine returned for a clean etc, it cost about $100 which i was Ok with. I was just happy to have the machine working again.

My big mistake was picking the machine up when I had tipped water in the bowl with no blades, The water poured straight into the touch screen!

DO NOT PICK UP YOUR THERMOMIX IF YOU SPILL WATER INTO IT!

This just happened to me last night.  I put the blades in my forgot to put the lock on base attachment on. Only had my thermo for less than a week i am so sad . I have wanted one for 3 years and finally got one and this happens.  What do i do ???? My screen is frozen on the intro screen


I too have tipped water into the bowl without the blades in, I have left it for 48 hours, however now that it is on the touch screen is not working, I can actually see water in the screen.

I have contacted customer services and am patiently waiting their reply.

 


I just did this after owning my machine for less than 48hrs =(

I'm going to check it in a few hrs to find out if it's ok. I left a fan blowing on my unit for the last day and a half hoping that would help it dry out well as it's currently cold and rainy so there's a bit of humidity.

What happens if it's not okay? Will it be covered by warranty? 


Tm31 leave it on its back. 

The newer model tm5 leave it standing upright and do not or on its back.


Hi Det.nsw,

If it was just water that has entered your Thermomix. Please leave your Thermomix TM31  unplugged and on its back from 48 hours to dry out completely.

If there were other ingredients that went in as well, this may affect the operations of the Thermomix, and this will need to be cleaned up by our Service team.

Once your Thermomix has dried out, try to operate it again. If an error comes up still, please give our Service Department a call at 1800 004 838 or email service@thermomix.com.au

My goodness!!! For such an amazing machine. This is a serious design fault. How can the machine operate without the blade in it. There should be NO way that you can pour anything down the hole to potentially malfunction the machine and not to mention cause so many heart attacks to the owners who are genuinely attached to these beautiful machines. Come ON Thermomix fix this serious problem.


On Wednesday I joined the club of putting a litre of water into thermi without the blade. I left it over night and it worked in the morning. Thursday night it came up with an error message 52 clean prongs. Have had my consultant and even though I have left it off over night it is still doing it. When I went to put my thermi back in its usual location water came out of it. I have now put it onto its back with a fan on it.

 

have I wrecked my thermi our should it just dry out and be ok


I've just joined this club.

Thermie bowl was sitting on the machine. Blade & base not attached. Went to make my morning smoothie and poured 1 cup of water straight into the bowl. 

Water everywhere and a lot of swear words. 

i dried it out, but I've been at work all day. It's on its back now. My consultant was a big help, told me to leave it for 48hours though. 

arrrgh - fingers crossed all is ok!
