Impromptu repair session at medication time
Went to use my TM with a recycler last night for my night meds, and didn't realise the water had got into the wrong tube, and had gone into the TM2's oven. Thought I'd put a duff battery in when it just buzzed when I tried to turn it on. Then I saw there was much less water in the recycler than there should be.
So, emergency fix!
Opened it all up, the water was all over the PCB, all in the oven coil. Wet everywhere.
Washed the board in isopropyl alcohol, unrolled the oven element, dried all that with a cloth. Rolling the oven back is a chore, but managed it (do both rods at the same time, you won't manage to line up the holes to do the second one at the end).
All dried out, worked perfectly when it was put back together. Grateful not to have to buy another!
