Blade Jam

Blender struggles to blend, motor sounds strained

Solutions:

Stop the blender, remove the lid plug, use the tamper to break up the ingredients and release any air pockets. Add more liquid if necessary.

Burning Smell

A burning odor is emitted from the motor

Solutions:

If during initial use, the odor should dissipate quickly. If persistent, allow the machine to cool and reduce the load.

Lid Not Secure

Blender will not start

Solutions:

Ensure the lid is securely locked onto the container. The lid flaps should be midway between the spout and handle when pushing down.

Machine Won't Turn On

Blender does not respond when the power switch is activated

Solutions:

Check the power outlet and ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. If the cord is damaged, contact Vitamix customer service.

Motor Overheat

Solutions:

Allow the machine to cool for 20-45 minutes. Reduce the amount of ingredients, process for shorter durations, or improve ventilation.

Solutions:

Do not continue use. Contact Vitamix customer service immediately for instructions.

Tamper makes contact with the blades

Solutions:

Verify you have the correct tamper for your container. Contact Vitamix customer service if you need a replacement.
