6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your immersion blender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; motor unit not properly assembled with attachment. | Ensure the blender is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the attachment is clicked firmly into place. |
| Poor blending results. | Insufficient liquid; ingredients too large; not enough blending time; speed too low. | Add more liquid if necessary. Cut ingredients into smaller pieces. Blend for a longer duration. Increase speed using the trigger control. |
| Blender stops during operation. | Overheating protection activated; motor overloaded. | Unplug the blender and let it cool down for at least 15-20 minutes. Reduce the amount of ingredients or add more liquid to prevent overloading. |
| Excessive splashing. | Blades not fully submerged; container too wide; speed too high initially. | Ensure the blending shaft is fully submerged before starting. Use a narrower, taller container. Start blending at a lower speed. |
