Use the confirmed release action for your product code: turn a processor bowl or lid anticlockwise, turn a steam-and-blend Work Bowl clockwise, hold a cup-release button while turning its cup anticlockwise, or lift a cooker pot by its handles, after shutdown, unplugging, waiting for movement to stop and any required cooling. If the attachment still will not release normally, leave it in place.
NutriBullet Triple Prep System
Turn the cool Cup or Pitcher anticlockwise to unlock it, or turn the processor Lid anticlockwise before unlocking its Work Bowl, only after switching off, unplugging and waiting for all blade movement to stop; a warm Cup must cool for at least 30 minutes and until completely cool before removal.
- Power off, unplug the Motor Base and wait for the blades or disc to stop completely.
- If a sealed Cup feels hot or warm, leave it untouched for at least 30 minutes and until fully cool; do not heat, prise apart or force the Cup and Extractor Blade.
- For a cool Cup, turn the complete assembly anticlockwise until it clicks free; point it away from your body and use a towel to slowly untwist the Extractor Blade.
- For the Pitcher, twist anticlockwise to unlock and lift it away; press the lid tab above the handle upwards with your thumb to remove the lid, watching for steam or splashes.
- For the food processor, turn the Work Bowl Lid anticlockwise and remove it first, then turn the Work Bowl anticlockwise and lift it off the base.
- Remove the Chopping Blade, Dough Blade or Slice/Shred Disc by its plastic centre, then remove the Blade Adapter and empty the bowl; the Inner Pusher releases when its cap is turned clockwise.
Is the food processor lid still locking the work bowl to the base?
- Remove the Work Bowl Lid before trying to turn the Work Bowl; the lid must be unlocked for the bowl to come off the Motor Base.
- When reassembling, lock the Work Bowl onto the Motor Base first, then fit and turn the lid clockwise until the arrows align.
Was a sealed cup used for hot or warm ingredients?
- If the Cup feels warm, leave the Cup closed and follow the cooling step above before trying to release the blade.
- For the next blend, use only refrigerated or room-temperature ingredients in the Cup; use the vented Pitcher for hot ingredients.
Was the cup blended for too long?
- Check whether the blend ran continuously for more than one minute; friction can heat the contents even when they started cold.
- Do not restart a warm, closed Cup to loosen it; let the contents cool for at least 30 minutes and until completely cool before opening as described above.
Were carbonated or effervescent ingredients blended?
- Check the ingredients for fizzy liquids or gas-releasing additions such as baking powder or yeast where used.
- Keep the Cup pointed away from your face and body when it can be opened; do not repeat the recipe in a sealed Cup.
Was blended food left sealed under the blade?
- A Cup left closed after blending can build pressure; follow the slow opening and cooling directions above rather than trying another blend.
- After future blends, remove the blade and use the supplied storage lid or another suitable container; do not leave the blade fitted as a storage lid.
Was the cup filled above MAX?
- Check the level against the Cup’s MAX mark without opening a warm Cup.
- Once the Cup is cool and has opened safely, reduce the contents to at or below MAX before refitting the blade; leave the Cup closed if the blade will not release normally.
Is the feed chute overloaded or food being pushed too hard?
- With the system unplugged and the blade stopped, remove the lid and clear trapped food with a scraper or spatula; keep hands away from sharp attachments.
- Reduce the quantity in the Work Bowl to the MAX line; reinstall the blade or disc, lock the Work Bowl on the base and then lock its lid before reconnecting power. After restarting, add food slowly and guide it with the supplied pusher without excessive pressure.
Is the slice/shred disc in its storage position?
- Lift the disc by its central plastic knob and align its markings with the Blade Adapter before lowering it again.
- The disc should sit in the higher operating position; choose the required slice or shred side facing up, and fit the bowl and lid correctly before processing.
Has ice or too little liquid jammed the cup blade?
- After the Cup has cooled and opened, remove excess ice and add enough liquid for blending; do not use the Cup to crush ice alone.
- Refit the Extractor Blade securely with ingredients below MAX; if the blade does not move freely, discontinue use of the blade assembly.
Are the pitcher lid vents blocked?
- Stop blending before opening the Pitcher Lid, taking care with any hot steam or splashes.
- Wash food from the detached lid’s vent slots and refit the lid with its pour spout closed; the vents must be clear before reuse.
Is dried food caught around attachments or the actuator?
- Clean the released Extractor Blade with a small soapy brush or sponge; wash the Pitcher and Work Bowl with soap and water after removing the food processor blade, disc and Blade Adapter.
- Use a damp soapy cloth and small brush on the unplugged base’s actuator area.
- For stubborn residue in an already-open Cup, fill to MAX with room-temperature water and 1–2 drops of dish soap; securely attach the Extractor Blade and lock the complete Cup onto the base before reconnecting power and blending for 20–30 seconds. Stop, unplug and wait for the blades before removing the Cup and washing off the loosened debris.
Is a vessel, blade, gasket or fitting damaged or incorrect?
- Check Cups, Pitcher and Work Bowl for cracking, cloudiness or warping and inspect the Extractor Blade for damage or a missing gasket.
- Replace a damaged detachable part with a genuine NutriBullet Triple Prep System part; do not use a blade that does not rotate freely or try to force a different model’s attachment.
If the cooled Cup still cannot be untwisted, request help and safely dispose of the sealed Cup and contents as directed in the guide; do not leave food sealed under the Extractor Blade for a prolonged period.
NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W
For NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W NBI07110, switch off, unplug and wait for all movement to stop, then rotate the motor body to unlock it and lift it away from the attachment. If the connection will not release normally, leave it intact and request removal help.
- For NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W NBI07110, release the Low-speed or High-speed power button, wait until the attachment stops, and unplug the motor body.
- Lift the blending arm or whisk out of the mixing vessel after motion stops; let a warm chopping bowl cool completely before opening it away from your body.
- Rotate the motor body to unlock it, then lift it away from the blending arm, whisk attachment or chopping bowl attachment.
- Separate the whisk from its holder, or remove the chopping bowl lid and S-blade; hold the S-blade only by its upper plastic section. The blending arm stays as one piece.
Is the attachment still secured to the motor body?
- Keep the unplugged motor body and attachment supported while separating them; do not try to take apart the single-piece blending arm.
- When refitting the blending arm or whisk holder, insert the motor body, push down and turn clockwise until locked; for the chopper, seat the S-blade on the centre pin, fit the lid to the motor body, then lock the lid onto the bowl.
Is suction holding the blending arm against the bottom of the vessel?
- Release the power button and wait until the attachment stops before lifting the blending arm from the mixture; unplug before handling the attachment.
- For the next blend, start on Low-speed to prevent suction at the bottom of the vessel; switch to High-speed only after the ingredients have broken down.
Has an overly thick mixture stopped the blade or whisk?
- With power disconnected and the attachment stopped, remove some mixture or loosen it with water or another suitable liquid; do not use your fingers near the blade.
- Securely refit the attachment, position the blending arm or whisk in the mixture or lock the chopper lid, and reconnect power before testing. If the motor still will not operate, release the button, unplug, wait for all movement to stop and disassemble; reassemble and reconnect only after the attachments are properly locked for another attempt.
Is food residue caught around the cutting area?
- Rinse the detached blade or whisk cutting area with warm water, keeping your hands away from sharp edges.
- Clean the chopping bowl, cup, whisk and S-blade with warm soapy water, then dry before refitting; they should be free of visible buildup.
- Do not soak the blending arm, whisk holder or chopping bowl lid or put them in the dishwasher; wipe the motor body with a damp cloth only. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
Is the chopping bowl warm or pressurised?
- Allow the contents to settle and the bowl to cool completely before carefully separating the lid; direct the opening away from your body.
- Avoid carbonated or effervescent ingredients and long continuous chopping; blade friction can heat the contents when chopping runs longer than one minute.
Was the attachment removed before it stopped, or is a fitting damaged?
- Inspect the attachment connection and S-blade coupling after disassembly; damage can occur if the chopping container is removed before the motor stops.
- Stop using a damaged detachable attachment and replace it before refitting; do not keep running an attachment whose connection will not lock securely.
If the attachment connection still will not release, leave the Immersion Blender unplugged and ask for model-specific removal help.

- Empty the removed pot or basket before cleaning them; keep water out of the Cooker Base. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
Is the cooker lid still latched?
- Use the lid’s opening button rather than pulling on the closed Cooker Lid; it should open and remain open.
- When closing it again, push the lid fully down until it clicks; if the release button does not open the lid, stop using the cooker and request help.
Is the steaming basket sitting unevenly in the pot?
- After cooling, remove the basket and check the pot rim and seating area for food; clean before refitting.
- Place the Cooking Pot level on the inner heating plate, then lower the basket into its top; the basket should sit level and drop in easily without force.
Is stuck food holding onto the inside of the cooking pot?
- Soak the inside of the removed Cooking Pot with water to loosen the food; warm soapy water can help.
- For stubborn residue, apply dishwashing liquid directly and leave it for a few minutes before soaking again; hand-wash the pot to preserve its nonstick coating.
- Wash the Steaming Basket separately and wipe the fully cooled heating plate with a damp cloth; do not use steel wool on the pot or sealing parts.
Is a removable part damaged or no longer seating properly?
- Inspect the pot and basket after removal and cleaning; a replacement must be designed for NutriBullet EveryGrain Cooker.
- Stop using a damaged detachable part and replace it; if the pot or basket remains trapped after cooling, leave it in place and request removal help.

Is a piece or cluster of food blocking the feed chute?
- With the motor stopped and power disconnected, remove the Work Bowl Lid so the blocked chute is away from the moving mechanism.
- Use the supplied Food Pusher, a spatula or spoon to remove the trapped food from the detached lid; do not force the blockage further into an assembled machine.
- Refit the blade or disc, lock the cleared lid and bowl into place, then reconnect power before starting the processor; feed smaller amounts and let food move naturally, using only the Food Pusher during operation.
Has processed food built up underneath the disc?
- Check whether processed food reaches just below the disc; this can stop food travelling down the chute.
- Remove the disc by its plastic hub and empty the Work Bowl with a spatula or spoon; refit the disc and lid before processing another batch.
Is the blade or disc fitted in the wrong position?
- Remove the blade or disc before emptying the bowl; do not tilt the bowl to drop a sharp attachment into your hand.
- Seat the Blade Adaptor firmly on the central shaft; for slicing or shredding, align the disc and adaptor markings so the disc sits in the higher operating position, not the lower storage position.
- For the Spiralizer Disc, align its notches with the tabs near the bowl top and position FRONT towards the front of the Motor Base, directly under the feed chute.
Is dried food collecting around the removable parts or base actuator?
- Wash the removed bowl, lid, pusher and attachments with warm soapy water; clean after each use so food does not dry on the fittings.
- Wipe the unplugged Motor Base with a damp soapy cloth and use a small brush around the actuator area if necessary; do not remove components from the base.
- Refit only clean parts; avoid steel wool and dishwasher heat or sanitise cycles, which can damage or warp them.
Are the bowl, lid or cutting attachments damaged?
- Look for damage to the bowl, lid, disc or blade after clearing the food; excessive feed pressure can damage the bowl or stop the blade.
- Stop using the damaged detachable part and replace it with the correct genuine part; if the lock remains stuck on intact parts, request help rather than forcing it.
NutriBullet Chill
For NBD07100AW, hold the Cup Release Button while turning the Pint Cup anticlockwise after the programme has finished or been cancelled, the Blade has stopped in its home position and power is off and unplugged.
- For NutriBullet Chill NBD07100AW, let the programme finish, or hold START/STOP for 2 seconds to cancel and return the Blade to its home position; wait for the Blade to stop fully.
- Switch off and unplug before disassembly, then push and hold the Cup Release Button while turning the Pint Cup anticlockwise to release it from the Motor Base.
- Hold the Pint Cup and Blade Block with both hands; do not carry the assembly by the Blade Shaft, which can be hot.
- Turn the Blade Block anticlockwise and lift it carefully from the Pint Cup, keeping your hands clear of the Blade.
- Before adjusting a warm Blade Shaft, run the Shaft of the removed Blade Block under cool water; support the Blade Block by its plastic grip.
Are you holding the cup release button while turning?
- A paused programme is not the same as a completed or cancelled programme: finish or cancel it so the Blade returns home before release.
- Keep the release button pressed throughout the anticlockwise turn; the Pint Cup should then disengage so the assembly can be lifted.
Is the blade shaft out of its home position?
- If the centre button flashes red after installation, first make sure the Blade and Blade Block are correctly fitted to the Pint Cup and the complete Cup assembly is locked onto the Motor Base. With power connected, tap the centre button to return the Blade home; wait for all motion to stop, switch off and unplug again before using the release button to remove the Cup.
- If CHECK BLADE and the centre button are solid red, switch off, unplug and wait for all movement to stop before removing the Cup and Blade Block using the release sequence. Pull the Blade Shaft until the Blade rests against the top of the Blade Block, holding the plastic grip and keeping fingers clear of the blade.
- Refit the Blade Block to the Pint Cup and install the complete assembly gently so the Blade does not pop out of position; reconnect power only after the Cup is securely locked. If the assembly cannot be released normally, leave it in place, keep the appliance unplugged and request help.
Has a blockage or unsuitable load stopped mixing?
- For an automatically interrupted cycle, switch off and unplug, wait for all motion to stop, then remove the assembly and clear any blockage or remaining mixture; use a utensil to remove mixture rather than your hands or fingers near the Blade.
- Use a frozen recipe between MIN FILL and MAX FILL; do not process loose frozen fruit, ice, hard ingredients or thawed liquid mixtures.
- Pull the Blade Shaft until the Blade rests against the Blade Block, refit the Blade Block to the Pint Cup and lock the complete Cup assembly onto the Motor Base. Reconnect power and follow the prompt to tap the centre/home control; keep the assembly attached until the reset finishes, then switch off and unplug before any further manual handling.
Is frozen residue preventing the blade block from fitting?
- When the Pint Cup is open, clean its inside rim before refreezing leftover mixture; frozen residue on the rim can obstruct installation of the Blade Block.
- Wash the detached Blade Block’s circular opening and the area around the Shaft with a sponge and dish soap, then rinse and dry before refitting.
Has the blade block engaged with the base during storage?
- Keep the Motor Base unplugged and the Blade covered; a Blade Block stored in the base can engage if the Blade rotates clockwise.
- Rotate the Blade anticlockwise as shown in the storage instructions to disengage it, then lift the Blade Block out; keep fingers away from the sharp edges.
Is the pint cup, blade block or shaft damaged?
- Check the Pint Cup for cracks and the Blade Block for damage; grip the plastic parts instead of the Blade or hot Shaft.
- Stop using a damaged detachable part and replace it with the correct NutriBullet Chill part; a solid red Progress Ring requires support for the hardware error.

- Look for damage to the bowl, lid, disc or blade after clearing the food; excessive feed pressure can damage the bowl or stop the blade.
- Stop using the damaged detachable part and replace it with the correct genuine part; if the lock remains stuck on intact parts, request help rather than forcing it.
NutriBullet Baby
Turn the Batchbowl or fully cooled Short Cup assembly anticlockwise, then lift the container and blade together from the motor base after unplugging and waiting for all movement to stop.
- Unplug the motor base and wait until all moving parts have stopped.
- If the Short Cup feels warm, allow it to cool before opening, with its contents pointed away from your body.
- Turn the Batchbowl or Short Cup assembly anticlockwise to disengage it, then lift the complete assembly from the motor base.
- Remove the Batchbowl lid, or unscrew the extractor blade from the cooled Short Cup, keeping hands clear of the blade edges. If normal hand removal does not release the part, stop trying.
Was the Short Cup filled above its MAX line?
Blending can build pressure and make the blade difficult to remove. Keep ingredients below the MAX line.
- Follow the cooling and removal steps above before opening the sealed Short Cup; if it will not release by hand, leave it assembled for help.
- Once it is open, reduce the next batch so the food and liquid stay below the MAX line on the NutriBullet Baby NBY-1807 Short Cup.
Is the container still locked into the base?
- Release the container with an anticlockwise turn before lifting; do not try to undo the blade while the container remains on the base.
- When refitting, securely hand-tighten the extractor blade onto the Short Cup or Batchbowl first. Place the complete assembly on the base, then push down and turn clockwise; the Batchbowl lid must be firmly fitted before operation.
Was the Short Cup used with hot food?
- Hot liquids must not go in the sealed Short Cup because they create pressure; do not try to open it while warm.
- After it cools, use the opening sequence above. Prepare the next Short Cup blend with cold or room-temperature ingredients.
Was the motor run continuously for more than one minute?
- A long blend heats the contents and can build pressure in the Short Cup. Stop using the motor to try to release a tight attachment.
- Let warm contents cool before opening; keep subsequent continuous blends within one minute.
Were fizzy or effervescent ingredients blended?
- Carbonated liquid, baking soda, baking powder, yeast and similar ingredients release gas that can pressurise the container.
- Do not run another blend to loosen it; if normal removal does not release the cup, leave the assembly intact and ask for help. Do not use these ingredients in future blends.
Are spills or dried food sticking around the activator buttons?
- With the motor base unplugged and the container removed, use a damp cloth to wipe accessible surfaces inside and outside the base.
- Hand-wash the blade and wash the cup or Batchbowl with warm soapy water; leave the blade seal in place. Dry the cleaned parts and the motor base before refitting.
- For stubborn residue inside an already-open, intact cup, fill it halfway with soapy water, fit the blade and blend for 10–20 seconds. Stop, unplug and wait for movement to finish, then untwist, empty, lightly scrub and rinse.
- If the clean attachment still will not fit or release normally, stop the fitting attempt.
Are any of the three cup tabs broken or missing?
- Inspect all three tabs around the cup before trying to fit it again. A missing or damaged tab means the cup must be replaced.
- Do not try to override the interlock or hold a broken tab in place to operate the motor.
Was the container or blade exposed to hot-water or steam sterilising?
- Hot water, steam or rapid temperature changes can warp the plastic and stop the attachment fitting properly.
- Inspect the cooled parts for distortion or damage; stop using a damaged detachable part and replace it. Do not heat it again to reshape it.
Is the correct Baby attachment fitted and aligned?
- Use the Short Cup, Batchbowl and extractor blade supplied for NutriBullet Baby NBY-1807; the Date-Dial Storage Cups are for storage, not blending.
- Hand-tighten the blade squarely onto the blending container and check its alignment before placing it on the base. A loose or damaged blade, or a removed seal, needs a replacement blade assembly before reuse.
NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend
Turn the Work Bowl clockwise by its handle to unlock it from the Motor Base after stopping, unplugging, waiting for blade movement to stop and cooling for at least 10 minutes and until completely cool.

- Hold the Work Bowl handle and turn the Work Bowl clockwise to unlock it from the Motor Base.
- Carefully open the Work Bowl Lid; twist the circular bottom grip anticlockwise to separate the lid into its two pieces.
- Using a mitt, lift the Blending Blade vertically off the Blade Holder in the centre of the Work Bowl, keeping clear of its sharp edges.
- For cleaning the Blade Holder, rotate its bottom to remove it from the Work Bowl; wash the removed parts and dry them thoroughly.
Are you turning the bowl or lid connection the wrong way?
- The Work Bowl releases clockwise from the Motor Base; the circular bottom grip of the Work Bowl Lid separates anticlockwise after the lid is off.
- When refitting, place the Blending Blade vertically onto the central Blade Holder, turn the Work Bowl Lid clockwise to lock, then secure the Work Bowl anticlockwise onto the base.
Are the bowl and blade still hot after steaming?
- Leave the appliance and contents to cool fully before handling the Work Bowl, lid assembly or blade; 10 minutes is the minimum cooling period.
- Use a mitt and the non-sharp areas to lift the blade; do not hurry the release by touching hot metal.
Has food dried around the blade or two-piece lid?
- Once released and cooled, separate the two lid pieces and rinse away trapped food or water; clean the Blending Blade after each use to prevent buildup.
- Wash the Blade Holder and Blending Blade by hand in warm soapy water; the bowl and lid can be washed by hand or on the dishwasher’s top shelf.
- For dried residue on a removed washable part, soak it in hot water for 30 minutes before cleaning. Do not use soaking to heat a still-assembled appliance.
Is food blocking the steam vents or trapped inside the lid?
- After cooling and opening, remove excess food so it stays below the pour-spout vents; keep food and liquid out of the lid assembly.
- Clean both lid pieces and their vents and dry them completely before reassembly; blocked vents can create pressure.
Has a hard ingredient damaged or jammed the blade?
- Check the opened Work Bowl for hard pieces, citrus rind, stems or fruit stones; remove these before processing another batch.
- Inspect the Blending Blade and bowl for damage and stop using any damaged detachable component; replace the affected part before continuing.

Was the cup filled above its MAX line?
Blending can build pressure and make the blade difficult to remove. Keep ingredients below the MAX line.
- Follow the cooling and removal steps above before opening the sealed cup; if it will not release by hand, leave it assembled for help.
- Once it is open, reduce the next batch so the food and liquid stay below the MAX line on the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W cup.
Are the work bowl, lid or cup still locked?
- The work bowl and bowl lid have separate locks: remove the bowl from the base before turning the lid to unlock it.
- When reassembling, put the chopping blade or disc onto the bowl shaft first, lock the lid clockwise on the bowl, and then turn the bowl clockwise on the base.
- For the cup attachment, secure its Cross Blade first and turn the sealed assembly clockwise onto the base. If the correct part cannot lock or release normally, leave the motor off.
Is food wedged in the feed chute?
- If food will not move with the supplied food pusher, stop processing and use the disassembly steps above; never put fingers or utensils into the feed chute.
- Clear the removed lid and chute, cut the food to fit the opening, and remove rind, hard seeds and pits.
- Reassemble the bowl, blade or disc, and lid securely before starting; feed gradually and let each piece move down before adding more. Do not press the pusher hard or keep running a blockage.
Has a cup or bowl become hot after prolonged processing?
- Blade friction can heat the ingredients and build pressure, making the Cross Blade difficult to remove. Stop processing and let a warm sealed cup cool completely before carefully opening it; never force it.
- Keep each run to one minute or less. For the blender cup, use only cool or room-temperature ingredients and never carbonated contents.
- If the vessel remains trapped, leave the appliance off and ask for help with the unopened attachment.

- After removing the attachment, support the Processor Base from beneath and turn the Work Bowl handle anticlockwise to separate the bowl from the Processor Base and Blade Adapter.
Was a sealed cup used for hot or warm ingredients?
- If the Cup feels warm, leave the Cup closed and follow the cooling step above before trying to release the blade.
- For the next blend, use only refrigerated or room-temperature ingredients in the Cup; do not blend hot ingredients in the NutriBullet Ultra Plus+ Compact Kitchen System Cup.
Was the cup blended for too long?
- Check whether the blend ran continuously for more than one minute; friction can heat the contents even when they started cold.
- Do not restart a warm, closed Cup to loosen it; let the contents cool for at least 30 minutes and until completely cool before opening as described above.
Were carbonated or effervescent ingredients blended?
- Check the ingredients for fizzy liquids or gas-releasing additions such as baking powder or yeast where used.
- Keep the Cup pointed away from your face and body when it can be opened; do not repeat the recipe in a sealed Cup.
Was blended food left sealed under the blade?

- After future blends, remove the blade and use the supplied storage lid or another suitable container; do not leave the blade fitted as a storage lid.
Was the cup filled above MAX?
- Check the level against the Cup’s MAX mark without opening a warm Cup.
- Once the Cup is cool and has opened safely, reduce the contents to at or below MAX before refitting the blade; leave the Cup closed if the blade will not release normally.
Is the feed chute overloaded or the pusher being forced?
- With the Motor Base unplugged and the disc stopped, remove the lid and clear the contents from the Feed Chute; a scraper may be used only while the processor is off.
- Keep the Work Bowl below its maximum fill line; reinstall the blade or disc and lock both the Processor Attachment and its lid before reconnecting power. Start the processing cycle with the Solid Circle, then add food slowly using only the supplied Food Pusher.
Is the disc or chopping blade fitted incorrectly?
- Lift the disc or Chopping Blade by the central plastic knob; never tip the Work Bowl to drop a sharp attachment into your hand.
- For slicing or shredding, align the Disc and Blade Adapter hash marks with the chosen function facing upwards; the Disc should sit nearly flush with the bowl’s top rim.
- Refit the lid by aligning its locking tab with the Processor Base mechanism, then pushing down and turning clockwise; if it will not lock normally, stop.
Has too much ice or an overloaded cup stopped the blade?
- Once the Cup is cool and open, reduce its contents to MAX or below and add sufficient liquid; do not use the Rapid Extractor Blade for dry grinding or ice crushing.
- Refit the blade and Cup correctly before another blend; stop using the blade if it remains seized.
Is the grinder overfilled or holding wet ingredients?
- Remove the stopped Grinder and open the Grinding Cup clockwise; reduce the ingredients below MAX and remove any ice, liquid or moist ingredients.
- Use only dry or dehydrated ingredients, refit the Grinding Cup to the Grinder Blade and lock the complete Grinder clockwise onto the base.
- If the Motor Base stopped from overheating, leave it unplugged to cool for approximately 15 minutes; once the correctly assembled Grinder is locked onto the base, reconnect power and use the Dashed Circle for short 1–2 second pulses. If the blade still jams, release the control, unplug and wait for all movement to stop before handling the Grinder.
Is food residue sticking to the cup, processor or grinder parts?
- For the released Rapid Extractor Blade, use warm soapy water and a small brush; wipe the unplugged Motor Base and brush the actuator area.
- Wash the Processor Base and Blade Adapter by hand; for stubborn residue on a removed blade or disc, immerse it in room-temperature water with 1–2 drops of dish soap for 20–30 seconds, then scrub carefully.
- Wash the separated Grinding Cup and Grinder Blade with soap and water; dry the parts before refitting, and never use dishwasher heat or sanitise cycles.
Is a cup, processor fitting, blade or seal damaged?
- Inspect the Cup and Work Bowl for cracks, cloudiness or warping; check the Rapid Extractor Blade for damage, a missing gasket or failure to rotate freely.
- Stop using the damaged detachable part and replace it with the correct NutriBullet Ultra Plus+ Compact Kitchen System part; do not dismantle the Motor Base or force a mismatched attachment.
If a cool Cup and Rapid Extractor Blade still will not separate, request help and follow the guide’s safe disposal instructions for the sealed contents instead of leaving them to ferment.
