What to do if my Thermomix no longer heats up?
Thermomixers are versatile kitchen appliances, highly regarded for their ability to perform a multitude of culinary tasks, including cooking. But sometimes your food processor doesn’t heat up, which can be very frustrating when you have you’re a big family meal planned. This diagnosis will guide you through the main causes of this problem.
THE POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THIS FAULT :

There is a risk of electric shock.
Wear suitable gloves if you carry out dismantling.
Risk of cuts.
Faulty electrical connection
The first thing to check is the condition of the electrical connections outside and inside your Thermomix. A loose or damaged cable inside can prevent the unit from heating properly. Make sure that all connections are secure and intact, as a simple contact problem can be the source of the malfunction.

The coil is the component that heats your food in the Thermomix multifunction food processor. To find out if it is the cause of the issue, use a multimeter and measure the resistance, which should be between 20 and 60 Ohms.

The control board regulates all the functions of the food processor, including heating. If your heating coil is working, but the device still doesn’t heat, it’s likely that the control board is to blame. This component is expensive to replace, but it can be the source of the problem.
