A full-size blender may not start or keep running if its pitcher, lid or cup is not seated correctly, no speed or program has been selected, ingredients are blocking the blade, or the motor has overheated. Check the vessel and controls first, then use the load and cooling instructions for your model below.
Is power connected and switched on?
For a corded appliance, check that the plug is fully inserted in a working power outlet and that the outlet is switched on. Set the appliance controls to off before reconnecting a loose plug; use the model’s start sequence after reconnecting.
Are the correct parts fitted and undamaged?
Switch off, disconnect external power and wait for all movement to stop before removing, refitting or cleaning parts or clearing food. Use only the parts intended for the exact model; never force a lock, bypass an interlock or open the motor base.
Check removable parts for cracks, broken tabs or other damage. Stop using a damaged detachable part and replace it before further use; cleaning or tightening will not repair it. If a blade remains seized after the model’s permitted clearing steps, stop using the attachment and take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase); do not force it or touch its sharp edges.
Has liquid entered the base, or is an electrical part damaged?
If there is liquid inside or under the motor base, or the cord, plug or base is damaged, stop using it, unplug it only if it is safe to do so, and take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase). Do not try a cooling reset or open the base for this fault.
After completing the relevant checks below, leave the appliance off if normal operation has not returned and take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase).

Is the vessel empty, overfilled or short of liquid?

What should I check for the single-serve cup?
- For NutriBullet Power Core Blender Combo, tighten the extractor blade onto the cup, invert it and twist it clockwise onto the base until it locks.

Has an overloaded motor tripped its thermal breaker?
