Permanently Fix Error Codes C142 / C153 – Replace the Broken Plastic Gear with Durable Brass
Does your Thermomix display error codes C142 or C153? This almost always means the locking mechanism’s plastic gear has stripped or broken. Instead of replacing the entire lid assembly, simply fit this precision‑engineered brass gear – a permanent, long‑lasting repair that outlasts the original plastic part many times over.

Why Choose This Brass Gear?

Long‑Lasting Solution – brass will not crack or wear out like the original plastic.
Cost‑Effective – no need to replace the whole lid or send the machine away.
Installation Advice (Critical)
Warm the gear before pressing it in – use gentle heat (e.g., a heat gun or hot air) to slightly expand the brass.
Use appropriate tools – a small press, vice, or gear‑pressing tool is strongly recommended. Do not hammer.
Work safely – disconnect the appliance from power. Wear protective gloves to avoid injury from sharp edges or during pressing.
Symptoms of a Broken Locking Gear
