Add Note Edit Step 4  ¶ 

  • Remove the following screws that secure the top and bottom halves of the base.

    • One 1/4 Phillips screw

    • One TA-20 screw

  • Both screwdrivers must have a minimum of a three inch shank (length).

Add Note Edit Step 6 — Power Cord  ¶ 

  • Tug on wires in the marked locations to make sure they are secure.

  • If the wire stays still, the connection is secure.

    • If you still have problems with the blender, it is probably a problem with the motor. Since the motor is irreplaceable, you will have to order a new blender.

Add Note Edit Step 7  ¶ 

  • If the wire comes off, the connection is insecure. You will need to solder the connection to make it solid again.

  • If you don't know how to solder, here is a link to show you how. http://www.aaroncake.net/electronics/sol...
