correct - replacing the cord is suggested and simple.

I have the same problem. 4 of the screws underneath are star-shaped and you will need the appropriate screwdriver for it. I purchased a "set" with heaps to choose from. The other 6 or so are normal. Don't forget to remove the rubber feet and get to the screws under there, too.

Hope that helps! I've had mine apart 3 times trying to fix this problem. Hint: It's probably not the power cord - I tried that already. If you figure it out, let me know, because I'd love to fix mine!

Mine does this as well... 5 seconds of operation and then OFF.
My guess is this is a fail safe where the blender is turning itself off to avoid overheating and what could potentially cause this overheating is the blender is struggling to turn the blades. What could cause this struggling of turning the blades I am guessing is a lack of oil in the blades rotating parts.
If you hold the circular blade part and turn it, you'll probably find that its hard to turn? Mine is... and I oiled it up a bit and found I got a bit more usage out of it... although only temporarily.
Ideally I need to pull it apart and oil it properly.

put a socket or a wrench on the nut in the middle of the blades, and hold the other set with a set of pliers, and, as the original poster said, it is reverse threaded.

The jar has to be on for it to blend.If you replace the jar first check the printing on your old jar. If your jar has blue print you will need a new jar and blade, Breville redesigned the jar and now the old blades don't work with the new jars. You tell the difference between the jars by the print color, old is blue, new is white.BBL600XL/06A jar part numberBBL600XL/14A blade part numberContact Breville at 1-866-273-8455 for service center locations.

I think that you need to flush the unit with water, I would take it apart, then let it dry COMPLETELY before plugging it in....I suspect that the unit will not be damaged.

Basically, the more your pay the more you get. Extras are: Pre-programmed 'Ice Crush' and 'Smoothie' settings 1200W instead of 1000W. Heavy duty die-cast metal base LCD display counts up when a speed setting is selected or counts down for pre-programmed settings Hope this helps!

Run the bottom plastic piece under hot water for a couple minutes and then put a dish towel over it so you can get a good grip, and turn 'CCW' (counter clock wise) to loosen. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/craig_3fa289bf857b1a3c

did you check the fuse in the plug?
