Flashing Lights on the KitchenAid Blender

If your blender lights are flashing and the blender will not turn on, there may be a problem with the electronics. Each model blender has different troubleshooting for flashing lights.

All indicator lights are flashing at the same time.

The Blender may be overloaded. If the Blender becomes overloaded when blending heavy ingredients, it will automatically shut off to avoid damage to the motor. Press OFF to reset the Blender. Remove the jar from the base and divide the jar contents into smaller batches. Adding liquid to the jar may also reduce the load on the Blender.

Indicator lights are flashing alternately.

The Blender may be jammed. If it's jammed, the Blender will stop running to avoid damage to the motor. Press OFF to reset the Blender. Remove the pitcher from the base and free the blades by breaking-up or removing the contents at the bottom of the jar.
