A cooking or food prep appliance may not start or keep running because an attachment, bowl or lid is not locked, a program has not been started, food is obstructing movement, or the appliance needs water or a cooling rest. Use the checks for your exact model and attachment below to identify the cause and restart correctly.
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. Allow hot cooking parts to cool before handling them. 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).
If a check directs you to our team, or the appliance still will not start or keep running, see our warranty article.
NutriBullet Triple Prep System
An unlocked attachment, an unselected program or speed, or an overloaded motor can prevent the Triple Prep System from starting or continuing.
Is the selected attachment locked onto the Motor Base?

How should I fit the food processor attachment?
- For NutriBullet Triple Prep System, fit the correct blade and adapter, lock the work bowl clockwise onto the base before locking its lid, align the lid arrows and insert the pusher.

Why does it start and then stop?
- For NutriBullet Triple Prep System, cup blending is limited to one minute with no consecutive cycles.
- Let the contents settle for 10-15 minutes before another cycle, and do not treat that settling time as a motor-overheat reset.
What do the lights or error indicators mean?
- For NutriBullet Triple Prep System, four dashes mean the powered base has no locked attachment.
- Refit the correct attachment, and if its menu still does not appear, stop and take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase).
Why is the display dim?
- For NutriBullet Triple Prep System, the display dims after a program or speed ends or after 60 seconds idle, with Power and Timer still lit.
- Tap a program or speed to wake it, and if the expected controls do not return, recheck the attachment.
Has the motor stopped after an overloaded blend?
- Overloading NutriBullet Triple Prep System can engage its thermal breaker.
- Unplug the motor base and leave it to cool for an hour before trying again.
- After all movement stops, remove the fitted attachment and reduce excess ingredients.
- Use enough liquid with ice or frozen ingredients.
- Refit the attachment securely before restarting.
- If the motor still will not run, take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase).

Is the Feed Chute overloaded or being pushed too hard?
- An overloaded Feed Chute or excessive Food Pusher pressure can overheat the motor of NutriBullet Triple Prep System.
- Turn off, unplug and wait for all blades or discs to stop.

Could a spoon or another non-food object be blocking the blade?
- Switch NutriBullet Triple Prep System off, unplug it and wait until the blade or disc has stopped.
- Check for a spoon, packaging or another non-food object among the ingredients. Do not restart while an object is inside.
- If using a warm sealed Cup, leave it closed and on the base for at least 30 minutes, and longer until completely cool, before removing or opening it. Let any warm contents in other attachments cool before handling them.
- For the Cup, unlock and remove the Cup-and-Blade assembly from the Motor Base. Stand it upright, then unscrew the blade from the Cup.
- For the Pitcher, remove it from the Motor Base and take off its lid. Do not reach towards the blade.

- If the motor still will not operate, unplug, disassemble and reassemble once, then take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase) if operation has not returned.
Has the motor had enough rest between uses?
- Allow NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W to cool for at least five minutes between uses to avoid overheating.

- If the motor still stalls, stop the attempt and take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase).
Does the Motor Base have enough air space?
- Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W needs air space above, below and on all sides during use.
- Turn to OFF and unplug before removing anything that obstructs circulation, and keep the Motor Base on a stable, level, dry surface.
- Refit the correct cup or Work Bowl assembly and keep the next run within one minute.
- If it still will not run normally, leave it off and take your claim, with your receipt, to the place of purchase (the manufacturer warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase).
Could a spoon or another non-food object be blocking the blade?
- Switch Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W off, unplug it and wait until the blade or disc has stopped.
- Check for a spoon, packaging or another non-food object among the ingredients. Do not restart while an object is inside.
- Let any warm contents cool completely before opening the vessel.
- For the Cup, unlock and remove the Cup-and-Blade assembly from the Motor Base. Stand it upright, then unscrew the blade from the Cup.
- For the Work Bowl, turn the bowl anticlockwise and lift it off the base onto a clean, dry, flat surface. Turn the lid anticlockwise to remove it. Lift out the Chopping Blade by its centre, or use the disc’s finger holes, before emptying the bowl.
- Remove the object while keeping clear of the blade or disc’s sharp edges. Inspect the vessel and cutting attachment; replace any cracked, chipped or damaged part before reassembling.
What if the object cannot be removed safely, or the blade still will not move? Leave the appliance off 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 blending Cup filled past MAX?

What if the motor still stalls? Return the dial to OFF and check the ingredient load and cooling instructions.
