Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | Not plugged in; attachment not properly secured; motor base overheating. | Ensure unit is plugged into a working outlet. Twist attachment firmly onto the motor base until it locks. Unplug and allow motor base to cool for 15-20 minutes if it has been running continuously. |
| Blending is inconsistent or stops. | Too little liquid; too many solid ingredients (e.g., ice, frozen fruit); ingredients are too large. | Add more liquid to facilitate blending. Reduce the amount of solid ingredients or cut them into smaller pieces. Use the pulse function to break down larger items. |
| Leakage from the cup or food processor. | Blade or lid not securely tightened; overfilling the cup/bowl. | Ensure the blade or lid is twisted on tightly. Do not fill ingredients past the MAX line. |
| Unit is excessively loud. | Normal operation for high-power motor; hard ingredients being processed. | Some noise is normal during operation, especially with hard ingredients. Ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface. If noise is unusual or accompanied by other issues, contact customer support. |
