Found a few mention of having to do a reset on the Kitchen Mama automatic can openers when they start to act up. Seems worth bringing up since these type of openers tend to glitch out after sitting for a while.
According to online sources, all you have to do is remove the battery and leave the opener with the batteries out for a couple minutes before reinserting the batteries. This apparently does a full reset of the opener. The Kitchen Mama is a relatively cheap device, so it is likely as simple as it sounds.
The question is whether or not the few minutes out is for anything other than to allow the capacitor to fully discharge. For most small devices with batteries, simply removing the batteries and reinserting them will achieve the same results. Another question is what cause the can openers to lock up in the first place. Is it likely due to low batteries? Has anyone here had success using this reset trick?
