Thanks for the video, My ninja IQ wouldn’t power up after plugging in. After watching the video, I just spun the ninja around banging the sides without taking it apart and it started working again!
AWESOME EASY FIX, I just bought one of these used and noticed it wasn't making good contact , the sellers suggestion was "to jiggle, it works good" they lied and thank you. I found your video looking for the new switches for the older blender, thanks again, just finished 20 minutes, no money excellent.
Thanks. That has fixed my issue. It was hardly a couple of months old when this happened and the power light wouldn’t come on. It was sitting unused for a year when I decided to open it up and then viewed your video. I was going to throw it out if it didn’t come on.
You are welcome. Best thing to do to prevent this issue, is to try NOT to overfill the container. If you do, disconnect the blender, turn the motor part upside down and clean it ASAP before it drips into the switches.
Worked like a charm! We have the Ninja Professional Blender and this video helped us out. The only issue was that we had trouble finding a screwdriver that would fit one screw. Other than that we found your video very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, really helpful. The only problem I’m having is taking the ‘screws’ out of the bottom as neither screwdriver fits it nor the Allen key, I think I need a hex key or something.
Which TorX screwdriver did you use? I tried to open my BL480UK model and order a full set of torX but the screws do not turn .Mine does switch on but it doesn't blend
I am sorry I have never cleaned it myself. Gross. I'll try to find out how to clean it.may be submerging on hot water with some bleach? just guessing here
so the blender has 3 safety and you pointed at a different one that you are cleaning, the part you cleaned was a plastic part, but the switch still is activated and makes a click noise, so mine turns on but doesnt detect the cup and i know its the safety mechanism you pointed at because i un screw the 2 screws on it and one came out rusty,. i wish someone just show us how the board works and which are the safety cables so we can just tape them together, this whole safety thing its too much,
@@jazmiincoronado1817 yes i did, its working so well, dont have to worry about the safety anymore. So i open it up and i notice a cable going all around the blender and i fallow that cable going to the circuit board. So i know i just needed to cut that cable from both sides and finish the circuit putting it together, to fool the circuit board .i cut it i peal it a little and put it together and some electrical tape and a little fire from a lighter to be safe. .and now the blender its ready to use with cup or no cup.
But before you take it apart, try cleaning it with a little soapy water, use a tooth brush ... most of the time they are just seized & need a little help to dislodge... send me a comment if that works for you! x
@@Beowulf975 i actually just order a t10 and a t8 security screw driver, a normal t10 wont do it, you need the hole inside the star, i do t know why a ninja blender has so much security. Not even my laptop or ps4 needed that
My model is 1500watts Auto-IQ Blender NutriNinja. I followed your video and still couldn’t get it to work. If possible, would you please help me fix it by making another video.
Don't throw it away. It's probably something very simple. make sure the power is getting to the motor. Buy an electricity tester say home Depot for about $10 it makes a sound and lights up if the're is power. But ty Most likely a safety switch.
Make sure you clean both switches. you may want to add a drop of WD-40 ( it will never touch your food) you may have to do it regularly and always clean any leakage after you use it. Good luck.
When you insert the cup with the blades ( and liquid) onto the motor part, you have to twist the cup in order to enable the blender to turn on when you twist it, you are actually activating a couple of small switches that prevent the blades from turning on without the cup. If the plastic cup has too much liquid it will leak and get into the small (safety) micro switch that allows you to turn the blender on once the liquid dries up, it eventually prevents the small switch from moving up and down (on/off) thus preventing the blender from turning on. Take a picture of the first set of screws that hold the bottom cover, and show it to the person at any hardware store and buy the proper screw driver or driver bit, that will allow you to remove the bottom cover, then, just follow the video. if you have problems contact me I'll guide you along over the phone.I hope it helps
@@joelgorveattemusic first make sure you have found the switches, then move them up and down (a small driver) so you can see that they click (on/off) Wet a Q- tip ( cotton ear swabs) and clean the sticky stuff that causes the problem. (whatever is making the stick. Once they are clean, dry them with a hair drier and spray a tiny bit of WD-40 or a drop of oil used for electric beard trimmers. Just lubricate it. So the small switches can move freely again Good luck
Unfortunately mine has 3 security torx t-10 and 2 of the screws i cant access since i only have bits they are not long enough. I need to ho buy a t-10 torx security screw driver. Hopefully i can find one locally.
Thanks for the video, My ninja IQ wouldn’t power up after plugging in. After watching the video, I just spun the ninja around banging the sides without taking it apart and it started working again!
I would still do the switch clean up just to make sure is not clogged with debris to prevent it from failing again
This was so helpful! It took me a hot minute to get my hands on an Allen wrench but cleaning it did the trick! Thank you so much!😊

Thank you Mark for the video. Clear, simple, short and to the point. Thumbs up!

I'm glad it worked for you. Just try not to overfill to stop the spillages.
Thank you so much for your video you just save me hundreds of dollars. The only thing I had to pay for was the screw driver $4
Thank you!!!! You helped me fix my blender. Thank you for sharing. I did exactly what you said and it worked.
Thank you so much for this information!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What but size is used to remove the screws? We could not find a comparable one in all of our tool kits and my husband has several

security torx screw: T9 or T10?
Is the fix the same for the bigger auto iq mega blender?
Thank you! This helped me to fix my smoothie maker. I really appreciate this video.
I'm so glad for you. You may need to do this once in a while, just try not to overfill the container to avoid spillage in the first place.
Thanks for the video, really helpful. The only problem I’m having is taking the ‘screws’ out of the bottom as neither screwdriver fits it nor the Allen key, I think I need a hex key or something.
You need a t10 torx screwdriver for the bottom screws. A pliers can also help. They are unreasonably hard to remove though!!!
Note, there are switches on two sides.
ours powers up but won't blend would I need to follow this same process
Which TorX screwdriver did you use? I tried to open my BL480UK model and order a full set of torX but the screws do not turn .Mine does switch on but it doesn't blend
its a t10 with a temper prove its on amazone, the xbox needs it too to open it,
Thank you, saved us $$$
Thank you
Mine works, but the timer sets - - after a few seconds and won't run the blender.
Thanks your video was a big help, I managed to fix mine too!
So glad you can keep using your blender
Do you know how to clean the blade. Is it possible to dismantle the entire blade housing so that it can be thoroughly cleaned inside?
I'm sorry I don't but now that you mentioned I'll figure it out andlet you know. I sounds like it's going to be gross.
I am sorry I have never cleaned it myself. Gross. I'll try to find out how to clean it.may be submerging on hot water with some bleach?
just guessing here
Type of screwdriver needed. Show a picture of the screen to the hardware people and they will show exactly the type of driver you need.

But i can’t removed the screws its difficult and funny shaps
Thank you soooo much for this!!

The micro switches are the ones that get stuck with debris. the tooth brush idea is Ok too whatever you can use to clean them works.
&&& soooo much quicker & easier eh! 😉
I want fix my too what screw driver you use for ??
Can't you figure that out for yourself??Dont you own tools?? wosowoowow

It's probably the same issue. They are simple, check those switches, listen for a click sound
Mine doesn’t turn on , no power , any idea .. think it’s a relay on the board ?

Plz plz help me!!!! I can't open it from the base... I can only find two screws!! Where the other two?
You are probably right, there may only be two screws.. Sorry, I haven't done it in a while.
Take a picture of the screws, show it to the hardware store and they sell you the right driver
any fox for vacuum pump ?
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with vacuum pumps
no problem , they are awesome accessory to this juicer but seems to have issues over time .. hopefully adaptor will fix it and battery power is issue
What do you mean by clean? How??

My blender stopped working. I’ll try this and let you know if it worked. I hope I didn’t push the machine to hard and overloaded it.
me too . I'll try.
I am going to try this tonight and see if it fixes mine.
There are two switches, clean them both while you are at it.
Unfortunately mine has 3 security torx t-10 and 2 of the screws i cant access since i only have bits they are not long enough. I need to ho buy a t-10 torx security screw driver. Hopefully i can find one locally.
Oh and those are along with 4 Phillips head screws
@@scottyo64 any hardware store will have them
I fix my blender
Junk
For the price it could definitely be of better quality. The noise is ridiculous. It scares my dog. I wrap a towel around it when I use it
