THIS VIDEO IS NOT TO GENERALLY DISS THE ROTIMATIC -- I AM NOT SIMPLY A HATER. SO THOSE TYPE OF COMMENTS ARE NOT MY OPINION. THIS VIDEO IS AN OPINION, NOT A REVIEW. Until this issue, I used to praise my machine to all visitors and friends, so I am posting out of shock/concern. IMHO, this is a health hazard that needs addressing.
During investigating why the water was leaking out of the Rotimatic machine, I saw that the water pipe was mostly covered with a black residue. The residues was clogging the outlet of the water pipe into the kneader attachment. This was the first time I had opened the machine, and was very concerned to see this. Other videos and posts hinted about this so-called "mold" but never really showed what the residue was, but in one case the video showed it was not removed by advanced cleaning. The "advanced cleaning" mode was introduced by Rotimatic only in later updates...(why?). And I am not paying $580 to replace tubing.
I have opened up my machine, and my video points that this residue is coming from the break down of the plastic nozzle attached to the tubing that creates plastic "off-gassing" like effect into the water pipe. I removed the residue and it clearly is NOT mold -- it has no smell, it is like an ash like residue, it is not water-soluble, and it breaks apart like ash/soot consistency.
The machine has been operating for more than 4 years quite well. Until the residue just clogged the outlet port once and for all. However, from the widespread accumulation along the ENTIRE water line, this has been happening for some time. I don't know if all machines have this, but I do recommended checking if you are not aware of the 'mold' issue.
THANK YOU to two videos gave me courage to open my daunting looking machine:
1. • Opening Rotimatic
2. • Mold & Abnormal Kneadi...
However, I could not get an explanation for what this residue was. So here is my video looking into it.
