The blender fails to respond while plugged into an outlet
On the blender, there is a safety switch at the back of the connection port for the blender cup attachments. Ensure that the switch is clean enough to move freely.
The device is plugged in and the power dial is turned and connected, but the blades do not spin. The power cord may be dysfunctional. Replace the power cord.
While blending, the device has a noticeable burning smell or smoke is seen
Your motor has become worn out over time or has been overworked. The next step will be to remove the base of the blender then look for the motor inside. If the motor is connected properly, you will have to replace it with a new one. Follow this guide.
While blending, the user notices the blender is not performing or blending to its usual standard
Your blade assembly has become dirty and no longer turns freely. Check around and under your blades to ensure they are clean. If not, remove any debris with a brush or similar cleaning tool.
OR
Your blade has become bent or deformed to the point where a replacement is needed. The blade will have to be removed and replaced with a new one.
The blades could be too loose to rotate in the cup when the motor is spinning and may need to be tightened. Check to see if the blades moved when you place light pressure on them. If they do move properly tighten them.
The coupler linking the blade assembly and the motor is failing to connect properly, causing the motor to run without rotating the blades. If the coupler is failing to connect, you may need to replace parts. First, check the connection between the two couplers and ensure they are not stripped. If they are stripped and the connection is not longer strong purchase new couplers.
While the blender is noticeably on, the blades do not turn and and the device fails to blend
