I am sure a black plastic piece that held the blades tight has broken off. I found pieces of it. How do I replace that piece and where can I get it? Everything is working fine, the motor is turning. The blade is too loose to stay in place while engaged.
Mine did while I was using it, looking for the same answer, I don't want to go out and buy a whole new set
It can't be that both my sets of blades are bent. Should the clear plastic piece in the turn by hand?
Mine is on but the motor is working but the blades aren't spinning
