Seized up blender?
You might need a new agitator assembly.
The agitator assembly consists of the blades,
a bearing, and a sealing plate.
There are a few common problems that eventually
lead to you needing to replace the agitator
assembly.
The blades can become dull after time or even
break off if you blend lots of ice.
The bearing can cease causing the blades to
lock up.
Sometimes the bearing doesn't cease but instead
fails causing it to leak liquid through the
cup link.
Replacing the agitator assembly is an easy
repair that you can do yourself and I'm going
to show you how.
Hi, I'm Mark Sodja.
Do it yourself repairs like these are easier
than you might think.From lawn machines to
cordless drills, kitchen mixers, outdoor grills,
our how-to videos walk you through each repair
from start to finish, so doing it yourself
means never having to do it alone.
Let's get started.
I'll begin by removing the jar assembly from
the blender.
Now unscrew the base from the jar.
The agitator and seal will come off from the
jar next.
Sometimes these pieces will just stick in
the base when you remove them.
Now I can remove the seal from the agitator.
You want to inspect the seal and replace it
as well if it's starting to crack or if any
of it sticks to the agitator when you remove
it.
Now, I can install the seal.Remember, the
seal goes over the top of the agitator so
it seals between the agitator base and the
jar.
It does not go into the base itself.
I'll place this assembly into the base.
Now I'll screw the agitator and base assembly
back on to the jar.
Make sure you line up the threads and don't
over tighten it or it'll crack the base.
