Blender: 120V equipment burn by connected to 240v

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 11:20:54 -0700

HI,

Got a Ninja NJ600 from the States (120v) and wanted to use it in Europe (240v). But, had an accident and got plug in to a 240v power plug directly, and of course it went silent.

I have dismounted the unit and made a number of pictures. Of this the electronic board was burn in one area.

I need to know first, if this information and pictures are enough to get a response?

Second, how I can I fix it?

And last, can I make it 240v capable?

Thank you in advance.

Jacobo PM

KitchenAid Mixer: Doesn't actually turn off

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 13:46:54 -0700

I have a Kitchenaid mixer that's about 10 years old (before they went to plastic insides), and it no longer turns off. Sometimes when I plug it in, it is off, but often, it's already on, and to stop it completely, I have to either push back the speed lever or unplug it. I love this thing, and would love to know how to fix this problem. I'm figuring it's a worn out gear or such, but none of the websites I've found show how to fix this particular problem. Thanks for any help!

Dolce Gusto Genio: Unit does not discharge water, even without a pod in place.

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 07:08:56 -0700

Tried cleaning the jet - no improvement.

Sounds like the pump is working. Maybe an air-lock in the water system?? Unit has been idle for at least one month.

Can someone provide detailed steps for identifying and correcting a possible air-lock? This would be helpful in narrowing down causes for no water discharge.

KitchenAid Professional 600: Planetary Drive head keeps falling out during use

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 09:07:54 -0700

At some point the planetary drive head started wanting to just drop off (fall) - like, into the mixing bowl) when operating the mixer. Why does that happen? Does something need to be replaced? Did a clip or retainer disappear? I could epoxy that drive head to the vertical shaft (the one that sticks down with MANY tiny long teeth along the shaft, but that might affect repairability long term.

Ninja Coffee Bar CF086: Drip stop light prevents brewing

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 10:25:45 -0700

I have a ninja coffee bar, had it for 2 years. The drip stop light lit while brewing, and wouldn't brew at all. I replaced the drip tray, and went away with one brew. Light returns. Seems to occur with unbalanced surfaces too, and whenever we slightly move it or shake it, the light MAY go off and brew for a bit. Has anyone taken one apart and disabled the drip stop sensor, and if so, how?

GE Microwave Oven: Loud noise when turntable is in use.

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:21:38 -0700

I have an over the range microwave. A rattling noise can be heard when the turntable is in use. When the turntable is turned off there is no noise. I have tried removing the glass plate and turntable roller not no avail. Should I remove the bottom of the microwave to gain access to the turntable mechanism ?

Panasonic Microwave: model NN-SN966S Lost all control of the keypad exept Reset

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:44:33 -0700

First, out of the blue, the display screen showed the Power Level counting down repeatedly (P 10, P 9...) while at the same time the speaker was sending out a continuous beep, beep, beep.

When I unplugged the device for a couple minutes, then plugged the power cable back into the socket, the display came up flashing and showed 88:88. I pressed every button on the keypad and only the Reset button worked clearing the display and showed : and again none of the keys on the keypad worked.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking maybe the keypad failed or possibly the microprocessor. Is this even fixable?

Microwave: Making loud Hum when not on, but plugged in.

Thu, 09 May 2024 17:10:14 -0700

Samsung SMH2117S Microwave started making a loud hum a few days ago, I unplugged it over night and left it, plugged it back in the next day and still a loud hum, the hum stops when you open the door. As soon as you close the door, without pressing any buttons or starting the microwave the hum comes back. I took the microwave down from above the range, removed the cover to try and pin point where the noise is coming from. the hum is coming from the Magnetron. The unit will still heat food, and everything else seems to be working as normal. I don't really feel like it is safe to leave plugged in or even use. I have found a price on a new magnetron for this product for $115.(i live in canada) i have no problem buying a new one and replacing it. But i want to make sure that is the real problem.
