A reading of “OVERLOAD” indicates an overload on the motor. Turn the
motor off for 10 seconds (using the switch) then turn the motor on again
to clear the overload condition. Check the blender jar for blockage.
A reading of “LOW VOLTAGE” indicates not enough voltage coming
to the motor. Turn the motor off. Correct the cause of low voltage.
(Normally caused by more than one appliance drawing power on the
same circuit, or by low power from a power source {brown out}.) Turn
the motor on again and continue operations.
BLADE STOPS : If the overload switch stops the blender, remove the
blender jar and carefully check for blockage of the blade. If no blockage
is found, replace jar and use the “pulse” button on the touch pad to
quickly pulse the blade through the mixture. Once the blade spins freely,
a programmed button may be used.
NOISE LEVEL CHANGES : If the blender noise level has increased
significantly from original levels, determine whether the sound is coming
from the motor or jar.
● Motor: Check to see if the excess noise is coming from the motor.
Remove the jar from the base and press cycle number one. Listen to
the motor sound without a jar attached. If it is excessively noisy, contact
your Blendtec service center.
● Jar: Check to see if the excess noise is coming from the jar. Place
the jar back on the base. Run the motor for a few seconds using the
“P” button. Switch jars back and forth to determine whether the sound
changes as different jars are used. If a jar is excessively noisy, or if the
blade assembly seems loose or sounds “gravelly” when turned by hand,
contact your Blendtec service center for assistance.
BLENDED TEXTURE UNSATISFACTORY : If the blended texture of
product is lumpy or uneven, do the following:
● Make sure the mixture is not cavitating during the cycle. Cavitation is
a condition in which the blender blade spins freely in an air pocket within
the drink mix because the mix is too cold or too solid. This problem
can be corrected by increasing the mix temperature (by reducing ice,
increasing liquid and/or insuring that the frozen ingredients used in the
recipe are never colder than 10 degrees Fahrenheit or -12 degrees
Celsius). When the right combination of correctly tempered ingredients
is used, the resulting drink is always smooth, thick and blendable without
operator attention.
