I was all like “Whoo, my electric composter machine is a rockstar!” And like a day later, it’s making worrying sounds.
Not crunches or bangs or “Oh shit, the machine is grinding metal. Turn it off!” sounds.
Just like a “murrrrr” of the blades not turning. And yeah, I just screwed up a couple days ago by running onion skins. They turn into ropes and clog things up where the blades can’t turn. So I had to unjam the blades.
This is the first time running my machine since then.
The blades spin inside the bucket. But I don’t know if my machine’s motor got broke inside.
I’m not a handy person. I can’t fix motors. A simple fix in someone else’s hands is a junkable situation in mine.
Every person is different, and I’m not Handy Manny.

Sounds like too much torque maybe broke the drive shaft. That’s what tore up my beloved Vita-mix — I tried to puree chickpeas without enough liquid.
