#Chametz which is stuck inside of a machine, for example a mixer, and can't be accessed unless dissembled by a professional doesn't need to be removed.<ref>Rav Nissim Karelitz in Chut Shani Pesach p. 67, Rav Chaim Kanievsky and Rav Elyashiv in Shoneh Halachot (Siman 433 fnt. 34 v. 3 p. 57), Rav Mordechai Eliyahu in Sh"t Maamar Mordechai 1:18, Eshel Avraham (Hilchot Pesach Lifshitz p. 13). Shoneh Halachot explained that Rav Karelitz exempted removing chametz if it would require a professional to open up, while Rav Elyashiv exempted even chametz stuck inside the mixer that wasn't normal to open even if it didn't require a professional. Rav Mordechai Gross in Kovetz Pesakim Uteshuvot Nissan p. 31 writes that chametz stuck inside a mixer that can't be completely removed needs to be taken apart or have chametz inside sold to a non-Jew.</ref>
