Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Blender fails to start,
or stops while it is
running and cannot be
restarted.
Ingredients will not
mix properly.
Unplug Blender, remove Jar from Base, and then inspect Jar with cutter assembly
for wear, nicks, and broken or loose blades. Replace if necessary. If blades are
loose, discontinue use immediately and replace Jar. Do not attempt to repair or
tighten cutter assembly. See "Technical Services."
Unplug Blender, and then inspect power cord insulation and power plug for
cracks. See "Technical Services."
Replace Jar as needed if inspection finds wear, nicks, or broken or loose blades.
See "Technical Services."
Solution
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electrical socket.
• Check to see if fuse for electrical socket has blown or if a circuit breaker
has tripped.
• If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow the
unit to cool down for 15 minutes. Plug unit back in after 15 minutes to resume
normal operation.
• Check to see if Lid tab is aligned over Post.
• Check to see if Lid flange is fully seated against the top of the Jar.
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to ingredients. Mixture should be
fluid and free-running at all times.
• Solid pieces are too large. Pieces should not exceed 1" (25-mm) cubes.
• Jar is too full. Do not fill past highest graduation marking.
• Blades are not sharp or are damaged. Inspect Jar and cutter assembly daily.
Replace Jar and cutter assembly as needed if inspection finds wear, nicks, or
broken or loose blades. See "Technical Services."
• Check to see if cutter assembly is installed securely.
• Select speed to create a fluid blend.
3. Fill Jar 1/4 full with fresh washing solution and
place it on Base.
4. Replace Lid on Jar and run Blender on HIGH (2)
speed for 2 minutes.
5. Repeat Step 3 using clean rinse water
(95°F/35°C).
6. Wipe down Jar and Lid with a soft cloth
or sponge, dampened with fresh washing
solution.
7. Wipe Base with a damp cloth or sponge.
Base contains electrical components; do not
immerse in water. Do not use a high-pressure
washer or use a dishwasher to clean Base.
