Why has my Morphy Richards soup makers motor stopped working?
I'm not one for discarding items but after 9 months this product stopped blending. However, I'm sure it still manages to heat the temperature .
Model Number: 501015
Serial Number: 15018445
I have held on to this product in the hope I can fix it + bring it back to life. The signal is working when I plug it in at the mains. It appears the motor just won't operate as it should. I've looked inside the lid but it seems impossible to get beyond its exterior. Can you suggest if it's worth keeping hold of or not?
Thank you in advance

Is this a good question?

Ours stopped working and the shaft would not spin at all. Opened it up and it had leaked through the seal: the bearings at the bottom below the motor had seized as they had become contaminated (and wet). Pretty poor given it's less than two years old.

Ours is just under 3 years old - works other than blender part maybe Jim Purcells resolution is the way forward. Pretty shoddy for a machine costing over £100.00. Will avoid Morphy Richards in future.

This is our second machine and both motors packed up. Threw away the original and purchased another, after casual use and about 24 months the second one packed in. After reading some of the comments on this site I decided to strip it down. Nothing to loose and just this minute stripped ours down bearing fully rusted, managed to use some emery paper, wd40 and elbow grease, refitted back together and presto it runs a treat.
