after only being used every couple of weeks to mix up eggs for omelettes.
Don't they say 'you can't make an omelette without breaking a few mixers'?

I'll put my DIYNOT crypto currency on it being either metal vs plastic gear interface or bent shaft.
Just as well I did. 15 months later the new ones leaked. Sent them back to the manufacturers last Friday and today I received another pair.I bought a pair of Goretex lined leather walking boots with a 2 year guarantee. They leaked after about 20 months. The shop gave me the option of a refund or a replacement pair. The store assistant said if I had the refund and bought a new pair, I'd get a fresh guarantee (maybe he would also get a 'sale' too) so I took that option.
Is there a cooling fan of any description? Maybe jammed or slack on the shaft? (Assuming any vent holes are clear).I've just got around to investigating the motor/drive unit. Not easy to get in, plastics held with screws and tightly sprung together. Small pcb, DC motor, rectifier and a triac speed control, plus pot. No obvious signs of anything having let the smoke out, even under a lens and fuse not blown.

Nothing like that, the unit has no air vents anyway. Commutor looks new too, not a mark on it. I'm guessing the triac has failed, but when I heard the crack - I assumed there would be obvious circuit damage.
