the on position.
● Unplug, then re-plug in the power cord.
● Determine if the numbers on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicator
are lighted. An absence of lighted LCD indicates a lack of power to the
microprocessor.
● Check the LCD:
A reading of “OVERTEMP” indicates an overheated condition has
been detected and the motor has been disabled until the unit cools to
operating temperatures. Unplug motor and allow motor to cool for at
least 20 minutes.
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 detection 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
signicantly 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 blender 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 blender. 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.
