LEM stuffer exploded!!

[dirtsailor2003]

No flaws in the plunger that I could see. Stuffer is about 5 years old so I dont think a warrenty issue would work. A new plunger on the LEM website is only about 7 bucks anyway

Even if it was under warranty LEM wouldn't help you out. Worst CS I've ever dealt with.

Did you run through dishwasher (high temp) cycles?

That'd be my guess...got brittle over time.

I have the same one and always run through the dishwasher...mine is a newer energy star compliant that doesn't use high heat (or any heat) to dry though...

If you haven't ordered yet ... and you have the nylon gears ... I would order an extra set of gears while your at it... save on shipping down the road ... better to have them and not need em... rather than need em and not have em ... they are pretty cheap ...



BTW.. thanks Bear ...

it has metal gears,it is a 5 pound stuffer and I only hand wash the piston

Was liquid nitrogen used in the sausage recipe by chance ?

got my new parts so I'm ready to get back to stuffing. Just need to add a bit more water to that same batch and continue on
