Thermomix TM5: How to reset the C150 error?

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 13:17:07 -0700

My TM5 shows a C150 error message and immediately shuts down. The problem is a stuck/broken lid sensor. After repairing the sensor the TM5 still shows the error so it must be stored somewhere in the device. How to reset this error store? There are some ebay crooks “selling” you the C150 reset for a hundred bucks so it must be able to be done somehow. Any ideas are appreciated. Just exercising my right to repair.

Thermomix TM5: Should I self repair the TM5 scales?

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 21:19:52 -0700

The scales stopped working by just showing 0000 or max limit weight figures when pressing the lid down. A few days later the scales seem to have recovered its sensitiveness yet it appears to be too sensitive and readings show changes even when untouched.

Is it at all worth attempting to repair it or send it to be repaired?

Thermomix TM5: How can I fix error c208?

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 05:07:22 -0700

My wife closed the device without the bottom lid and after 3 seconds the device shot down, stuck bowl, making clicking noise and code c208 pop up. I dried the device, put it back in place, got out the bowl manually, and put it back into the place. Plugged in, but c208 shows all the time. Official troubleshooting guide says it’s locking mechanism: repair when the error continues to appear.

However there is no further instructions on how to repair it anywhere in the internet. Can someone help me ? Much appreciated.

Thermomix TM5: TM5 crashes when pressing UI

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 03:47:37 -0700

My TM5 shutdown during cooking, and after rebooting, when pressing Next at the initial warnings and disclaimers, it crashes again. I’ve disassembled and cleaned the main board with alcohol, and all the caps looked fine. After cleaning it looked ok for half an hour, but then it started doing this again. It seems that the reboot happens while it’s playing the clicking sound. Anyone has any clues of what the issue might be? It’s two and half years old…

I fixed it by reflowing the circuit that lies on the back of the display and that seems to have fixed it (been going for some months now). Seems it was a bad solder joint somewhere but I couldn’t pinpoint as I don’t have a microscope.

Braun multipractic: The central spindle is split.

Fri, 16 May 2025 07:19:58 -0700

I managed to split the central axel due to a very hard piece of cheese. The split has spread out so the tools won’t go on. I have another machine to replace it, but I was cheated as this doesn’t work either. But it can be used for spares. Is there anything you can advice me on, or help me get this repaired somehow? I am in Manchester M9.

Food Processor: Ginnys brand food processor

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 07:19:12 -0700

My food processor 10 in 1 doesn't spin. My Mom over loaded the processer and now the spinner doesn't spin. Motor works and I can see that internally it is spinning but the white top that is visible doesnt. I can't find anything in the guide. It says Intertek inside but can't seem to find much help from their website either. It looks as if it's a single unit with the spinner to one side. Please help

Braun multipractic: Why does the blade stop rotating when food is in the larger bowl?

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 09:50:24 -0700

My issue is odd. The mixing bowl and all functions work, the small glass goblet works on all foods and even the blade will rotate in the large bowl when there is no food in it, but as soon as I put food in it to chop the blade stops as if it’s too much to go through the food - this happens with even softish bread (to make breadcrumbs). Not sure what the problem might be? Would ordering a new bowl or blade help?
