   Baby Brezza Pro (FRP0045) has a few youtube videos showing   
   failure of the stirring/mixing operation.   
      
   Various unpredictable solutions suggested, including   
   banging the thing hard against the countertop.   
      
   What this actually is, is a frozen 5V DC toy motor   
   driving a gear that switches pump output water flow   
   direction. If this fails to flip a microswitch at   
   180degree travel, the controller does not engage   
   the pump and stirrer - full stop.   
      
   It's possible that banging might unfreeze this motor/   
   gear-train, but the unit I inspected required reconditioning   
   of the toy motor brushes ~ running backwards/forwards at   
   good speed, in order to regain respectible operating torque.   
   No doubt it will fail for the same reason at some future   
   time. It's a lousy little bodge, for a lousy little design.   
      
   It's also a nasty disassembly/reassembly. Count your screws.   
   You have to carefully strip off the control panel facia, saving   
   the adhesive surface for later reattachment, in order to get at   
   two of them. Two other screwss are under feet bumpers.   
   The valve motor is under (but attached to) the water pump assembly.   
   Two water connections will need tywrap replacement.   
      
   This model has been recalled and replaced by the   
   'Baby Brezza Pro Advanced'.
