Troubleshooting

While Vitamix blenders are built for durability, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common observations:

• Leaking from Personal Cup Adapter: Ensure the thin rubber gasket around the base of the personal cup adapter is properly seated and not shifted. Tighten the adapter securely onto the cup.
• Water Under Main Blender Base: If water accumulates under the main blender base after washing, it may indicate an issue with the seal. Avoid submerging the base in water. Refer to the official user manual for detailed cleaning instructions and contact customer support if the issue persists.
