Thank you so much for making this video. My blades were completely stuck and I had no idea how to fix and clean them. You just saved me from having to get a replacement!
Thank you. I had a leak and was able to take it apart after seeing you do it and all I needed to do was to tighten the nut inside under the blade. Didn't have the right tools you used, but had a large vice grip that could reach small bolt on top and just held outside bottom with hands and/or pliers. Will see how long it works!
Hello sir Brilliant I followed your instructions cleaned mine up took it apart put it back together now it’s working perfectly and does not leak as just save me about £60 So thank you very much
THANK YOU! I used the same principles you taught here and fixed 3 blenders at my home hahaha! Some of the blenders, showed some cracks around the hole where the blade screw goes through, i fixed it by applying some silicone glue so it does not leak. Thanks again :)
Making margaritas went horribly horribly wrong when it slowly but surely flooded my kitchen counter but thanks to your video my blender is no longer leaking!
Hi, this film clip was great. I was trying the same things to fix my blender all week long. I love that I can go on line and have a real expert show me how to do something. I will try the oil on the grey thingy.
Thank you for this thorough tutorial! We have a differently designed blender (KitchenAid Model KSB560MC0, yet your instructions still solved how to tighten the components. Many thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful and answered my questions. Plus I like your cat (adorable - a Bengal? or Bengal-Tabby mix?). Liked this even more, knowing you're a cat lover.
THANK YOU!! You were a HUGE help!!! I was able to fix my blender all by myself thanks your video here! I VERY much appreciate your help!!! I Just subscribed as well 👍
The motor underneath lets off a slight smell and it's a little loud th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq but considering it's size and how hard it works to do the job, it's sort of expected. I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. There are many videos on how to replace parts and how to clean your nutribullet but, nothing about washers and seals.the closes thing I found was O-RINGS. Didn't realize those were included until I began cleaning the blades. Broke one because, it was replace incorrectly. 😇🤔😇 THANKS AGAIN !!!!

O-rings, shafts, flaps, gap clearance, wear marks, grease distribution, oils, breaking the factory seal, binding, caking, drying, drag, slinging, polishing. then the all-important safety lecture! this is only how to fix a leak, he never studders or misses!! Please change the intro. If he isn't an expert who is? Would be a good video if you just accept who you are; a blender expert, you can not hide it. There is no shame in that. I will be looking for your retraction. Thank you, Billy
This was very helpful, butI have a black oil that is coming from somewhere, and it gets into my smoothie if I have the glass pitcher at an angle. It drips from the bottom of the glass pitcher. I don't know where it is coming from. I thought it was coming from the base of the blender, but I can't see where it would come from. I even turned the base over to see if the oil would drip out and it didn't. I even turned the blender on upside down to no avail. Please help me if you can. Thanks
What make and model is your blender? Usually it is just crud that collects at the point where the glass screws into the base. Be sure to wash it out well after each use. Have you tried taking off the base to make sure you get all the crud out? Until you figure it out, hold a folded paper towel near the base while you pour your smoothie so it doesn't drip. Good luck.
Hi great video, thank you for sharing, anyway I have a Breville Model CBL6 /A it is leaking and took it apart but I could not disassemble the blade and the blade holder (the drive coupling) is wobbly. Any ideas? Thanks,I
I have a black and decker blender that is leaking very much have had it less than a year...there shouldnt be iany leaking this soon bu will try to fix...but still pissed
+Karen Ball-Touray I know what you mean. My B&D leaked pretty soon also. If yours has the crappy thin plastic base that holds the gasket to the bottom of the glass, be sure you don't over-tighten it. If you get it too tight it will ride up on the threads on one side and put uneven pressure on the gasket. I also had problems with the gasket around the shaft. I couldn't find a replacement so I added a very very thin washer next to the existing fiber washer. Good luck
this was helpful for my problem. i do have a question though; what are the washers made of? rubber, plastic, or metal? mine appear to have torn u and worn away, and i now have a rather large gap (leak) between the blade part and the blade housing part.
I dont know for sure what they are made of. If you lhold one up to a light and look closely, they appear to be made of fiber and resin. So, i call them fiber washers. Maybe one of my other viewers will read this and let us all know.
I don't know. Mine had a strange oring with a profile shaped like a "7". Was a little springlike on one side. I never could fine a new one. The a-holes love to put little specialty parts in them so you have to buy a new one.
cpc 300 BLENDER The blade assembly is frozen. I can not seem to get it apart. I have replaced the gasket and no leaks but the blade assembly just froze. what causes this and I can not counter clockwise loosen the blade assembly does that have to do with it being frozen? Suggestion instead of your oil how about virgin or sunflower oil, just saying. Will appreciate any suggestions
Not all blade assemblies can be disassembled. Some are welded or pressed together. Can you see any threads? Some turn clockwise to loosen (reverse threads). Be sure to use a thick rag or pliers so you don't cut yourself. Just about any food oil should work fine. It may not last as long as petroleum oil, but will taste better ;-)
If you are talking about the "v" ring I show in the video, I have never found a source for a replacement part. You have to use very thin washers to shim the "V" ring away from the blades. If that "V" ring is cracked, you can try using a couple of O rings to replace it, but I have not tried that myself. Good luck.
Yes. You should be able to fill it about 1/2 full with water and see it running out of the bottom near the shaft. The shaft seal may be bad, or it could be a piece of trash stuck in the shaft seal. They don't make these things to last very long. The seal will be able to work with a little slack in the shaft. Once the shaft wears too much, the seal will start to leak intermittently. Eventually it'll leak all the time. Most have some parts that aren't stainless-steel. Most are made so you can't take them apart to clean and lubricate the shaft either. Once it starts to leak too bad, all you can do is order a new blade, or replace the entire blender.
Cats behave like children. Mine feels ignored, which she is not, she will misbehave at times. She will pout if she does not get her way. Thanks for the advice.
From your description, I thought maybe you bought the same farberware blender that I did. I had to pound it on with a sledgehammer and pry it off with a crowbar. I finally trimmed some of the excess material off and sanded it down until it fit. Tried one in the store a few years later and it was the same way. Not sure if that will help you with your Hamilton Beach.
Thank you so much... Lol... was thinking of doing just that ... trimming and sanding it... but what a task just to be able to use it ... i might just buy a different one instead....
+soupflood Mine is designed so the liquid won't get into the motor, but it wouldn't surprise me to find some that do allow the liquid in. Thanks for the comment.
fixpro256 One would think only no-names are badly designed and built, but... I saw a Philips ProBlend (the one with crappy plastic container); the knife axle seal was gone so it must have leaked a lot, and the fluid level got past the motor axle fencing. The sugars in the juice built up in time and it led to the motor being slowed down and heating up the plastic, which stuck its rotor. Now, I fixed the motor, but for the life of me I cannot unscrew the knife... which makes me wonder if the thing could mill grains and stuff instead of fluids :D
+soupflood That is not a bad idea. Keep your old leaky blender to use for dryer jobs and use a new one for the wet stuff. Thanks for the good idea. A lot of the blade assemblies are put together permanently forcing you to replace them instead of fixing them. Manufacturers should be shot for this kind of crap! ;-)
True Engineer, if it helps, all parts were out of focus, background Jar Ok... So perhaps remember to touch the focus with you hand setting the Focal distance... If its a Phone touch the Screen, every 30 seconds, or just once as you start. Or place something infront to focus and confirm, then remove it before you start..

You seems like this was your first time taking this apart like this!!?? This should be taken apart and cleaned/rinsed EVERY SINGLE TIME you use it! Your comments at the beginning about "this is tight and you maybe never took it apart"... that initial band you take off the bottom and separating the ring, blades and seal is essential after every use. Yes, disassembly of the blade housing and so forth is beyond a daily cleaning, but you discover the real reasons for your leak issue when you say "it was probably a build up of crud!" NO SHIT!!! Take it fully apart...blade, gasket/washer and tightening ring EVERY TIME YOU USE IT!!
Thank you. I almost threw my blender out. I couldn’t figure out how to take it apart. I’m so glad I checked out TH-cam, and that I found you
Thank you so much for making this video. My blades were completely stuck and I had no idea how to fix and clean them. You just saved me from having to get a replacement!
Thanks - gave me the confidence to apply sufficient force to loosen the nut on our rotor - bearing now greased! :o)
Glad to hear you could get it apart. Most of the new blenders are designed so you can't take them apart. Good luck to you.
I had my Bosch blender seize up. Learning how to take it apart and deep clean it was a success. Thank you for your post, it saved the day!!

the housing is so cheap on my blender that i think one of the bushings may have disintegrated. planned obsolescence. the thing is about 6 months olde.

Vegetable oil tends to go rancid, coconut oil is very stable & takes much longer to oxidize
if you want lube for the bearings to use vaseline it works well

Your model is probably one that can't be disassembled. But you can usually order a new blade and base as an assembly
@@fixpro256 thanks for your reply, I think you probably right, it is an old model...I think better of get a new blender.

Great video. Where can I buy a two edges black small o-ring? Couldn't find over the net. You've to buy whole blade.
I don't know. Mine had a strange oring with a profile shaped like a "7". Was a little springlike on one side. I never could fine a new one. The a-holes love to put little specialty parts in them so you have to buy a new one.
So basically just taking everything apart and cleaning it should make it not leak anymore?
Thank you very much, it was very helpful for me :)

Thank you so much... Lol... was thinking of doing just that ... trimming and sanding it... but what a task just to be able to use it ... i might just buy a different one instead....
If your blender is leaking you probably have the rubber on the wrong side of the blades
My seal won’t attach to the base of the blender jar, and I’m not sure why
Do you have the glass, then the seal, then the blade, ,then screw-on base? If it is slipping, get it good and dry, no oils. It the base cracked?
Use food quality lithium grease is you are going to use grease at all
taste good??? :P
Mine not serviceable Blade is riveted on...no screw.
If it leaks, it may also damage the motor, because the integrated draining is usually not designed to take that much fluid at once..
