This was a great video but I have a simpler thing to try first. I watched this video and a few others and decided to try and clean up the switches without taking it apart. Since I watched this video I could see all of the interior of the bullet the motor and such was much lower than the point where the switches were. So, I put less than an inch of extremely hot tap water and a drop of dawn dish soap into a large pan and then turned the bullet upside down emerging the switches into the water, and let it soak for about 15 minutes. I removed it from the water and placed it face down on a kitchen towel for 30 minutes to let any excess water drain out. Then I used a small bottle brush and knife to depress the switches and clean the areas out. Worked like a charm. I couldn't see the dirt before cleaning but could see it after I removed it from the water. Was a quick and easy fix. UPDATE: If your container is missing one of the tabs that depresses the switches it will not work. I just found this out and when I used another one that had all 3 tabs it worked.
I found my wife's Nutribullet in the "to trash" box; she said it was dead. I wanted to confirm her diagnosis before we actually discarded it. I guessed it was a broken wire in a motor winding, but on a whim I googled and found your video. From your description I knew ours had the same problem, and it did. With your help I fixed it; runs better than ever now. Thank you.
You are a GENIUS! Received this exact NutriBullet as a gift from my daughter and when it stopped working, I was crushed. (Full disclosure: I didn't screw the cup on tightly and the liquid spilled out everywhere.) Your video was the first I found on TH-cam. I, too, had a broken piece inside but used superglue to reattach. Worked like a charm. This video has excellent visuals, runs at a steady, reasonable pace while explaining the how-.tos, and narrated with a clear calm speaking voice . I was back up and running in less than an hour. Thank you SO much.
Hi there! I’m a girl in my late twenties, live alone and away from home. I use nutri bullet to make smoothie every day. Now it stopped working all of a sudden when I turned it on Mine wasn’t jammed so I almost clicked out of your video. Then I decided to disassemble because I didn’t hear a second clicky sound even though I could push down I disassembled exactly like you said and see that the plastic part is broken just like in your video. Superglue wouldn’t hold it put. So I used a super strong nylon thread looking thing from my small bag and looped it and pulled it up and re assembled it. Now there’s thread hanging out from the side but it works. I tried replacing the fuse and it didn’t work now I know it was the broken tab !!!!! Idk what gave me the confidence to do what you did. But I’m so proud. Idk how long it’s going to work but I tried and I fixed !!! Hopefully it works for another 4months that’s all I need . I’m just hoping I put the wiring back correctly that’s all I’m worried about. Any advice?
YudaMan, you certainly are the man. Old Nutribullet 600 series bought easily over 10 years ago. Hate throwing anything away especially if it can be fixed. Only one of the switches wouldn’t deploy. Followed along with the video and dismantled it all. Housing was slightly different with more parts. The activator switch was just really sticky. Cleaned and reassembled. Works like new. Liked and subscribed. Go mile maith agat a chara.
At 3:45sec. in you talk of a 'stand off' switch being broken. That is what happened on my nutribullet. I did not "super glue" it as you mentioned, what I did was find a screw that was slightly longer with a pointed end and similar threads and I carefully screwed that into the same place. It went in snug&tight. It is strong and holding its place. The nutribullet is fixed! I was so frustrated that I couldn't get it to work after taking it apart and then back together. The 2nd x, I checked what you had mentioned and that was the actual problem! not the dirt or sticky stuff. This unit was pretty clean, it was the broken 'stand off' switch. But I needed that info to know to check that, then fix it. So Thanx
super helpful! i had a broken piece too, tried to super glue it but it did not work. I then read the comments in the thread and saw that using a longer screw would solve the problem and it DID! feels great not to have tossed it into the bin and actually fix it! thank you everyone!
Thanks YuDaMan - You da man! Your fix has got my Nutribullet running again! It's guys like you who, through your videos, save us money, give us the satisfaction of restoring functionality to otherwise broken appliances, and make the landfills smaller. BTW, I also had a broken standoff like you did. I saw that the threads stopped around the break, so used a slightly longer wood screw to extend the threads into the stub. Works well so far.
Thank you! I just released the 3 white switches by scraping the gunk off. I am not going to take it apart. It allowed me to make the smoothie I desperately needed before the base started smoking, but that was fine! I’ve had this thing for several years. I’ll order a new one, but thanks to you I got one last smoothie out of it.
Mate. This worked!!! Opened up like you showed. One of the plastic parts where the switch screws in had snapped and so the switch was not clicking. Used a longer screw and that secured the switch again. AND IT WORKED!!
OMG, I can’t believe that I was able to do this and now my bullet works again! The only mis-step that I did was not take the all important picture of the wiring before I removed that white tab that held the wiring down. However, I was able to finagle it back. My husband was surprised that I was able to fix it all by myself. 😊. THANK YOU!!
I accomplished the same thing without disassembly using sprayed alcohol & Q-tips. Unplug first, spray the switches, work them using a small flathead, clean with Q-tips, and allow time for alcohol to dry before plugging in. Worked for me.
Thank you so much for this video 👍🏼Our bullet had been abandoned to the back of a cupboard for more years than I can remember because it had stopped working. After watching your video and spending less than an hour it is now working perfectly. Respect and thank you again.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I was getting ready to throw out my NutraBullet. Out of desperation, I thought I would try TH-cam. I came across your video. It seemed easy enough. I have never taken apart any small appliance and have limited handy skills. I followed your instructions and now it works like new. Thank you for saving me $70.
Dude 3 years later since you posted I got mine to work after cleaning tabs (unit was in storage for 1-12 years!) worked like charm! Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much. You are a life saver. My wife was about to throw the machine but I said not yet and searched a video in google. Your video popped in first. I followed your instruction and now it worked again! I liked and subscribed!
This was awesome, thank you! I was about to replace mine that stopped working a while ago. Clear and easy to follow. I just fixed it, and feeling so accomplished!
Thank you very much for this video ! Followed your instructions and found the stand of the off-on switch broken. Great to be able to get more years out of this machine!
Great video. I took out all the screws and had a bunch of crud on various inner parts from over the years of shake mix oozing out from over filling. This worked and it looks brand new and I saved $100!!!
Mine stopped working. I learned from your video that 2 of the little white notches needed to click when depressed .One of the 3 notches on the cup had broken off so I figured which of the 3 notches need to move and positioned the cup so that the remaining 2 notches on the cup fit into the necessary slots. Works perfectly now, thanks!
Thank you! This video helped me tremendously! Lol. I just came home from the gym and threw all my ingredients into the blender not knowing that it wouldn’t work. I fumbled through TH-cam and your video helped the most!!! I think it was the broken standoff in mine that kept the switch from activating. So I switched it like you recommend and super glued the piece that didn’t activate anything. It now works! Thank you!
Thanks so much, I followed your instructions and my nutribullet now works! I knew I shouldn't have listened to my husband who told me to throw it out! I am also now extra careful not to overfill the cup in future, as it's the spillage that causes the switches to stop working. With metal screws and plastic inserts, I am not sure I want to take it apart again, I also broke one the standoffs.
Great tutorial! We've taken ours apart to find that the plastic housing that holds the screw on one of the triggers snapped, so we are going to try superglue it. Wish us luck!
Thank you so much. What a simple fix and didn't have to get hubby involved! One tab was stuck, probably from overfill of a smoothie. Almost threw it out but found this video and now it's good as new. Okay, back to watching the rest of this video.
Thanks for the video! I had the same issue with one of the pegs being broken but I was able to switch the switches to the unused ones without even splicing any wiring and got it working. Thanks again! Cheers!
@@altaafulton921 If everyone had that logic, we would be stuck in the stone age. No one is born knowing how to do this stuff, you learn, you practice and suddenly you can take simple appliances apart with a screw driver and back together again, easier than putting a jigsaw puzzle together. Then when you mastered that, on to more grown up projects. It pays to know things. I'd hate to be the one paying $500 for an air conditioning unit capacitor that costs $5, to a "pro" who simply knows how to use a screw driver, but to each their own, I guess.
Thanks so much! I have a brand new one that stopped spinning this morning and I just depressed those tabs with the switches a few times and it fired back up. Something must have been off just tiny bit, I did have a spill so maybe it was just sticky. So glad I saw this!
Cleaned mine last night! Not near as gunky as I imagined but just enuff stickiness to hinder its operation. I threw away the last two. Just assumed they stopped working. Thanks!
Oh bless your heart! Thanks so much for sharing this info. My Nutribullet was going into the trash today as it stopped working. I found your video and it works again and I didn't even have to take it apart. I two had t one of those cream colored tabs that didn't go down, so I kept hitting it until it did. Thank you so much!🥰 I made me a smoothie a minute ago.😋
You rock!!! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to make this video. I followed it to a T (including taking pictures of the insides before I unscrewed the piece holding the wires. I just wish I took a photo of the placement of the notches on the base, as putting it back together took a few tries to get it placed in the right direction. My standoff was broken, too, but I used Gorilla Glue, let it dry for a day, and was able to screw the piece back into it. So excited it's working again!!
Thank you "SO" very much for your Informative Video of how to get my NutriBullet up & running again! 🙂 It have had this in storage for a long time...plugged it in & "No Go!" I have used it only a few times in the past. So started to watch how you started with the basics took care of the problem (Well Done) & pushed down on the 3 white buttons as shown in the beginning of the video. I have my "NutriBullet Up & Running!" This has been "Extremely Helpful."
That was exactly the problem. The holding plastic was broken so I just switched the position on the “dummy” switch position and it worked great. I had to make one of the wires longer so it can fit the new position. Thanks you for the video. ❤❤❤❤❤
Browsing for another issue (lid not spinning blades) and came across your video. Although this video is not for me, I still watched it. Great video mate.
Thank you. I depressed the switches a few times, soaped them up and cleaned and “wallah”… works again without taking it apart. Thank you again. Who knew. I know I have had at least two prior to this that I’ve gotten rid of. 😆
Many thanks for this video. Turned out the switch it's self was okay, but one of the screws holding it in place had broken away. Slight modification (i.e longer screw) has sorted it. This led me to finding out the problem though, so thank you 👍🏻
I always keep a can of electronics contact cleaner in the garage and if it gets stuck? I tip the nutribullet upside down and flush each switch. 3 microswitches which if you flush clean. Perfect. Easier. Please if you use warm water and soap. Soap oxidizes the switch over time. Use soda bicarbonate to neutralize the soap. Electronics contact cleaner is under 10 AUD.
I tried this and was able to fix it .. One thing missing in this video when the white plastic brokes the system will not run . I took LOCTITE SUPER GLUE AND used to fix . Thank you🤝
I was about to buy one and googled it. First vid that came up and I sincerely thank you for this. The pins werent making contact and will be cleaned now
Glad it helped! Be sure to LIKE and subscribe. THAT would really help me. THANKS!!! (and thanks for keeping it out of the landfill. You helped the environment!)
Thank you! I struggled with reassembly, especially putting on the last part of the bottom, but eventually figured it out. This was great, was about to toss my blender.
Thank you so much for this! After a little finangling I managed to get mine working again. I had to switch two of the white tab-things. Luckily the wires were JUST long enough to reach without cutting and re-wiring anything. To think a tiny broken plastic piece, the size of a hama bead, kan completely break down an otherwise well working gadget.
Thanks you Sir. This and the ball bearing video helped me make my decision. For now I am going to buy the OEM replacement blade assembly and when that ball bearing goes too, I'll replace them with SS ones.
Thanks .... this worked for me. I couldn't tell if the standoff was broken but what I noticed immediately was that the activator switch housing was not flush against its base so I took a risk and with a easy twist of the screw, I was able to get the activator switch housing to seat properly to where when I pushed on the switch, there wasn't any movement .. meaning that the housing did not pull away from there base. How long it will operate like this is anyone's guess, but I am fairly inventive and will figure out a way to re-attach the housing. It's a shame that we can't get parts for this because I threw one away about 2 years ago and never investigated what the problem was and it was probably this very thing. Irritating, because it seems this design is doomed to fail and most people will toss it out and just buy another one :-(
th-cam.com/video/jyidH6rjzhc/w-d-xo.html is Nutribullet DIY Fix - Don't Throw It Away and it gave me a view into taking apart the rig. I think that is what you need if you still have the Nutrabullet. (yes I saved both of mine and now I am a happy camper.)
I had the same issue with the switch mount cracked. I tried super glue but once engaged the downward pressure popped it right back off. I finally fixed it by zip tying the switch closed and zip tying it down. Now the switch is always engaged and only needs the other one to engage during normal operation. I'm back on the grind. 😁
I didn't think of that and I'm curious how you zip tied it down. I tried gluing it down with epoxy, but it did not hold. I what up buying a new motor from Nutribullet
I was gonna buy a new one, but I’m Gonna try this with mine. It’s about the principle! I bought my NutriBullet years ago when they were expensive because of “durability” and the brand. And as a result, it should last for years and the ability to have it fixed like Nespresso Machines. And because of that principle, I’m Going to buy the tools I need to fix it.
Wow TH-cam is awesome!! But u r the real hero!! I never thought there would be a video about this but I’m so glad I searched it anyway!! Ok I’m off to tackle the project, thanks so much!!
Thank you so much! I was doubtful… But I did it! Thanks TO YOU!!!.... I was ready to throw it out And now I feel like I got a new one… You were right- it was pretty gross in there and needed cleaning👍
Thank you! I have an Abuler small blender similar to the one on the video and your tip helped me fix it! It was a darn stucked switched that was a problem.
God bless you my friend. At first I was the same no way will I open this thing but read someone just pushed down the switches afew time and away she went after sitting on the shelf for like 24 months at least I should get some credit for not dumping it when it stopped working. 😂😂😊
Thanks for this! I had the same problem where I had a broken standoff on one of the switches. I ended up replacing the machine screw with a wood screw of the same gauge but longer so that it had enough length to screw into the plastic still left that the standoff broke off from. The only screw I had was too long though, so I used a stack of tiny steel washers I had on hand to decrease the penetration of the screw. I also used one washer to replace where the standoff had been so that the switch could remain at the same level it had previously been and not get sucked down at an angle when I tightened the screw. Thanks again for showing me how to do this.
This what I did. Used a tiny washer in place of the broken standoff and the used a longer screw. On my machine one if the bottom screws was an exact fit and length and then just found a screw at the bottom if my messy toolbox for the bottom part. Works as new and wife and daughter will be happy. I was checking new models and prices until I stumbled onto this video. Thank you.
You saved my ass! I've been using my grandmother's nutribullet for smoothies and it wouldn't work. Some smoothie were on the pressure buttons so I cleaned it good with goo gone and it worked! Thank you thank you!! 😊
Great video. Thank you. I had the same issue and I found that 2 of the screw sockets were broken on both sides with contacts. I tried sticking them back on, but super glue and glue gun didn't work. I fixt it with putting bigger screws, screwd straight in the bottom of the base. For now it works, I don't know how long it will last though 😊
Mine is not running and I just bought it a month ago. I have been using it almost everyday for smoothies only. I am very upset because I should not be having any problems with it so soon after purchasing it.
Thanks for video. It fixed mine. The issue was, snapped off one of the press. I have to find two switches, mark them with a marker and correctly put the triggers on them
Awesome man worked perfect for my wife's unit. The only thing was hers must of been a different model as there was a logic board and some cabling to remove so a bit trickier to dissemble
Well that’s gonna be more work than I was thinking about today, but I am going to do this. Because it’s not working right and I might as well give it a shot. It’s either that or the trash bin right off the bat. At least if I can’t get it to work, I can take it apart for a recycling purposes. Thank you.
helpfull video .when opened mine up the problem was with false base plate was broken at both lugs ,pieces being attached to the screws .also one lug on the one true switch was broken ,replaced with longer screws and had to repair the false base plate with super glue .works fine now .
Thank you brother. You really helped me on this one. I liked and subscribed . I did However just pushed down hard on the white switch after I turned it over and down a little over the sink and added a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the white switch to get it to move . Thanks you so much . Lord bless you.
Could be my problem but sadly I could never undertake a project like this myself. I am not mechanically inclined and this requires essentially taking most of the unit apart and then knowing how to put it back together after the cleaning. Awesome video for those with fix-it mechanical minds but not for me.
Thanks. My standoff was broken. I taped corresponding switch to the on position, and plug in the unit when I need to use it. I suspect the other switch will break sooner or later and will have to do the same to that switch.
Great video, that helped me figure out what the problem was. do you happen to have a video on how to cut and splice the wires to make them longer for reaching another position? I also have a broken screw mount.
This was a great video but I have a simpler thing to try first. I watched this video and a few others and decided to try and clean up the switches without taking it apart.

Oh bless your heart! Thanks so much for sharing this info. My Nutribullet was going into the trash today as it stopped working. I found your video and it works again and I didn't even have to take it apart. I two had t
one of those cream colored tabs that didn't go down, so I kept hitting it until it did. Thank you so much!🥰 I made me a smoothie a minute ago.😋

Right I didn’t have to take mines apart either whew 😅
You rock!!! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to make this video. I followed it to a T (including taking pictures of the insides before I unscrewed the piece holding the wires. I just wish I took a photo of the placement of the notches on the base, as putting it back together took a few tries to get it placed in the right direction. My standoff was broken, too, but I used Gorilla Glue, let it dry for a day, and was able to screw the piece back into it. So excited it's working again!!
Thank you "SO" very much for your Informative Video of how to get my NutriBullet up & running again! 🙂
It have had this in storage for a long time...plugged it in & "No Go!"
I have used it only a few times in the past.
So started to watch how you started with the basics took care of the problem (Well Done) & pushed down on the 3 white buttons as shown in the beginning of the video.
I have my "NutriBullet Up & Running!"
This has been "Extremely Helpful."
That was exactly the problem. The holding plastic was broken so I just switched the position on the “dummy” switch position and it worked great. I had to make one of the wires longer so it can fit the new position. Thanks you for the video. ❤❤❤❤❤
Browsing for another issue (lid not spinning blades) and came across your video. Although this video is not for me, I still watched it. Great video mate.
Isn’t it the same? The blades don’t run cause one of those 3 buttons he showed isn’t working properly
Thank you. I depressed the switches a few times, soaped them up and cleaned and “wallah”… works again without taking it apart. Thank you again. Who knew. I know I have had at least two prior to this that I’ve gotten rid of. 😆

Thank you! One of the clicky bits wasn’t working on mine but taking it apart, fiddling with it and putting it back together has worked! Awesome 😊
Many thanks for this video. Turned out the switch it's self was okay, but one of the screws holding it in place had broken away. Slight modification (i.e longer screw) has sorted it. This led me to finding out the problem though, so thank you 👍🏻
That was exactly the problem with mine
Mine also same problem.. how to worke longer screws can you plz explain what kind od screws used ? Any other videos?
I always keep a can of electronics contact cleaner in the garage and if it gets stuck? I tip the nutribullet upside down and flush each switch. 3 microswitches which if you flush clean. Perfect. Easier. Please if you use warm water and soap. Soap oxidizes the switch over time. Use soda bicarbonate to neutralize the soap. Electronics contact cleaner is under 10 AUD.
Thank you! Just gave my Nutribullet a little extra life.
I tried this and was able to fix it .. One thing missing in this video when the white plastic brokes the system will not run . I took LOCTITE SUPER GLUE AND used to fix . Thank you🤝
I was about to buy one and googled it. First vid that came up and I sincerely thank you for this. The pins werent making contact and will be cleaned now
The green trigger on mine has a loose bolt. Tighned it and cleaned the internals and works like a charm now. Thank you.
Super helpful video. I was about to chuck the whole thing and now it works again! Thank you!
Glad it helped! Be sure to LIKE and subscribe. THAT would really help me. THANKS!!! (and thanks for keeping it out of the landfill. You helped the environment!)
Thank you! I struggled with reassembly, especially putting on the last part of the bottom, but eventually figured it out. This was great, was about to toss my blender.
Thank you so much for this! After a little finangling I managed to get mine working again. I had to switch two of the white tab-things. Luckily the wires were JUST long enough to reach without cutting and re-wiring anything. To think a tiny broken plastic piece, the size of a hama bead, kan completely break down an otherwise well working gadget.
Thanks you Sir. This and the ball bearing video helped me make my decision. For now I am going to buy the OEM replacement blade assembly and when that ball bearing goes too, I'll replace them with SS ones.
Thanks .... this worked for me. I couldn't tell if the standoff was broken but what I noticed immediately was that the activator switch housing was not flush against its base so I took a risk and with a easy twist of the screw, I was able to get the activator switch housing to seat properly to where when I pushed on the switch, there wasn't any movement .. meaning that the housing did not pull away from there base. How long it will operate like this is anyone's guess, but I am fairly inventive and will figure out a way to re-attach the housing. It's a shame that we can't get parts for this because I threw one away about 2 years ago and never investigated what the problem was and it was probably this very thing. Irritating, because it seems this design is doomed to fail and most people will toss it out and just buy another one :-(
th-cam.com/video/jyidH6rjzhc/w-d-xo.html is Nutribullet DIY Fix - Don't Throw It Away and it gave me a view into taking apart the rig. I think that is what you need if you still have the Nutrabullet. (yes I saved both of mine and now I am a happy camper.)
Had exact same issue. Thank you for the video! Saved me from buying new
I had the same issue with the switch mount cracked. I tried super glue but once engaged the downward pressure popped it right back off. I finally fixed it by zip tying the switch closed and zip tying it down. Now the switch is always engaged and only needs the other one to engage during normal operation. I'm back on the grind. 😁
I didn't think of that and I'm curious how you zip tied it down. I tried gluing it down with epoxy, but it did not hold. I what up buying a new motor from Nutribullet
@@MrCharlesEldredge I used the smallest zip ties I could find. Worked like a charm. Still working to this day.
I was gonna buy a new one, but I’m
Gonna try this with mine. It’s about the principle! I bought my NutriBullet years ago when they were expensive because of “durability” and the brand. And as a result, it should last for years and the ability to have it fixed like Nespresso Machines. And because of that principle, I’m
Going to buy the tools I need to fix it.
Wow TH-cam is awesome!! But u r the real hero!! I never thought there would be a video about this but I’m so glad I searched it anyway!! Ok I’m off to tackle the project, thanks so much!!
Thank you so much! I was doubtful… But I did it! Thanks TO YOU!!!.... I was ready to throw it out And now I feel like I got a new one… You were right- it was pretty gross in there and needed cleaning👍
Thank you! I have an Abuler small blender similar to the one on the video and your tip helped me fix it! It was a darn stucked switched that was a problem.
God bless you my friend. At first I was the same no way will I open this thing but read someone just pushed down the switches afew time and away she went after sitting on the shelf for like 24 months at least I should get some credit for not dumping it when it stopped working. 😂😂😊
Thanks for the video
It helps me fix my blender in a minute
Good Video, turns out I had one broken switch, jumped the wires, now only one switch, but works fine! And gave it an inside cleaning.
YuDaMan, thank you for posting this. Following the video I was able to get my NutriBullet running again!
GREAT. Be sure to LIKE and Subscribe. THAT will really help ME!. THANKS!!!!!!
Thanks for this! I had the same problem where I had a broken standoff on one of the switches. I ended up replacing the machine screw with a wood screw of the same gauge but longer so that it had enough length to screw into the plastic still left that the standoff broke off from. The only screw I had was too long though, so I used a stack of tiny steel washers I had on hand to decrease the penetration of the screw. I also used one washer to replace where the standoff had been so that the switch could remain at the same level it had previously been and not get sucked down at an angle when I tightened the screw. Thanks again for showing me how to do this.
This what I did. Used a tiny washer in place of the broken standoff and the used a longer screw. On my machine one if the bottom screws was an exact fit and length and then just found a screw at the bottom if my messy toolbox for the bottom part. Works as new and wife and daughter will be happy. I was checking new models and prices until I stumbled onto this video. Thank you.
You saved my ass! I've been using my grandmother's nutribullet for smoothies and it wouldn't work. Some smoothie were on the pressure buttons so I cleaned it good with goo gone and it worked! Thank you thank you!! 😊
This video just saved me $200 and my wife's respect. You da man, YuDaMan.
Great video. Thank you. I had the same issue and I found that 2 of the screw sockets were broken on both sides with contacts. I tried sticking them back on, but super glue and glue gun didn't work. I fixt it with putting bigger screws, screwd straight in the bottom of the base. For now it works, I don't know how long it will last though 😊
Mine is not running and I just bought it a month ago. I have been using it almost everyday for smoothies only. I am very upset because I should not be having any problems with it so soon after purchasing it.
Thanks so much 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I agree and feel the same way.
Thanks for video. It fixed mine. The issue was, snapped off one of the press. I have to find two switches, mark them with a marker and correctly put the triggers on them
Thank you so much for this video !! With little cleaning my mixie started working for now 😊
A really great video with a very informative and clear explanation. Many thanks and much appreciated
Thank you!! Great tip taking a picture. We followed you step by step and SUCCESS!!! Great help!
Great video. There was only one tab left so ours would not operate the switches.
YuDaMan, turned out 2 of the wee plastic bit's that tricker the blades had broken of the cup, thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for this. Smoothies are back on the menu for tonight!
Thanks guys. I just fix mine now. Was about to get rid of it
I just fixed my blender using your method. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot my friend for the tips, I managed to make it work. Greetings from Áustria 😎🇦🇹

Awesome man worked perfect for my wife's unit. The only thing was hers must of been a different model as there was a logic board and some cabling to remove so a bit trickier to dissemble
Worked like a charm! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the video. I was about to throw mine away and I watched your video and found the same problem
Thank you so much! Was just about to buy a new one when I saw this.
Thank you so much! Mine is working again after 2 years. And I did it myself! 💪💪🏻
Great to hear!
Well that’s gonna be more work than I was thinking about today, but I am going to do this. Because it’s not working right and I might as well give it a shot. It’s either that or the trash bin right off the bat. At least if I can’t get it to work, I can take it apart for a recycling purposes. Thank you.
helpfull video .when opened mine up the problem was with false base plate was broken at both lugs ,pieces being attached to the screws .also one lug on the one true switch was broken ,replaced with longer screws and had to repair the false base plate with super glue .works fine now .
Great video. Any idea where to buy spare parts? The grey plastic mount that holds the activator switch has snapped and I need to replace.
Thanks for posting this, very useful, I got my Nutribullet working again :)

Thank you for sharing! It works now! You saved me! 🥰
Thank you brother. You really helped me on this one. I liked and subscribed . I did However just pushed down hard on the white switch after I turned it over and down a little over the sink and added a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the white switch to get it to move . Thanks you so much . Lord bless you.
Thank you, this helped fix my machine!
Could be my problem but sadly I could never undertake a project like this myself. I am not mechanically inclined and this requires essentially taking most of the unit apart and then knowing how to put it back together after the cleaning. Awesome video for those with fix-it mechanical minds but not for me.
I sprayed a little W40 in each switch,pressed down a few times -fixed-. Maybe it didn’t have too much buildup. Thank you for your recommendation.
Thanks. My standoff was broken. I taped corresponding switch to the on position, and plug in the unit when I need to use it. I suspect the other switch will break sooner or later and will have to do the same to that switch.
YESSSS!!!! Thank you soooooo much for this video!
Thanks man! This fixed it for me

Great video, that helped me figure out what the problem was. do you happen to have a video on how to cut and splice the wires to make them longer for reaching another position? I also have a broken screw mount.
sorry I do not.
