Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power switch off; circuit breaker tripped. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Turn ON/OFF switch to 'ON'. Check household circuit breaker. |
| Motor stops during operation or smells burnt. | Overheating due to heavy load; automatic overload protection activated. | Turn off and unplug the blender. Allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes. Press the Overload Reset Button (located on the bottom of the motor base). Reduce load or add more liquid for future blends. A slight burning smell during initial uses is normal and will dissipate. |
| Ingredients are not blending smoothly or remain chunky. | Too little liquid; ingredients too large; air pocket around blades. | Add more liquid. Cut ingredients into smaller pieces. Use the tamper to push ingredients towards the blades. Increase speed. |
| Loud noise or vibration. | Container not seated properly; foreign object in container. | Turn off and unplug. Re-seat the container firmly on the motor base. Check for any foreign objects and remove them. |
