The Blender may be jammed. If it is jammed, the Blender will stop running to avoid damage to the motor. Press POWER to reset the Blender and unplug the power cord. Remove the pitcher assembly from the base and, with a scraper. free the blades by breaking-up or removing the contents at the bottom of the pitcher. |
Why is my blender blade turning but not mixing the ingredients?
Occasionally, when blending, the ingredients get stuck above the blade. This is called "bridging". When this occurs, the rpm of the blender increases very quickly and the ingredients stop mixing as the blade is just turning in a pocket of air inside the ingredients.
What to do:
Stop the blender and use a spatula to tamp down to "pop the bubble". You can also use a slower speed or use a bit more liquid to get the viscosity or thickness of the mix to come down.

Blender Jar Difficult to Attach or Remove
If your blender jar has become suddenly difficult to attach or remove without great force, please Contact Us.
Oily Residue on Bottom of Jar
There are bearings in the blender that allow it to run smoothly and quietly. It is normal that as the blender is used, you may see residual oil from the bearings on the bottom of the blender jar. This oily residue can be wiped clean. It is more noticeable on clear blender jars.
