The most common problem is caused by the jar leaking liquids. The solution is to tighten the base. If this doesn't solve the problem, inspect and, if necessary, replace the gasket. If the drive stud is turning but the blade assembly isn't, inspect the assembly socket into which the drive stud fits.

If it isn't working, you may need to replace the cord or plug. Also make sure that none of the wires are frayed or damaged, as this could be a cause for malfunction. Another possible cause for your blender not turning on is overheating due to prolonged use or misuse of the appliance.

The trick to cleaning your blender pitcher fast is to let the motor do most of the work for you.

If it is leaking from the top, then it is likely it has been overfilled. If it is leaking from the bottom, make sure the base in screwed on tightly and that the rubber seal is in place. If this is missing or damaged, then the blender is not watertight. A replacement seal is needed.

Why is my machine leaking from the bottom? ›

One of the most common causes for a washer that leaks from the bottom is a leak in the fill and drain hoses. These hoses can become blocked, kinked, damaged or disconnected, resulting in a leak while your washing machine is in use.

KitchenAid also notes that overusing a mixer, and not allowing it to cool completely between uses, can also result in oil leaking from your KitchenAid. If none of these suggestions help, you can also contact KitchenAid for additional assistance.
