Rubber Gasket I have looked everywhere and can't find the rubber gasket for my Margaritaville-where can I get a replacement? Thanks! ~Lois

Hello, Georgia -

No, there can be variations in size with the rubber sealing o-rings / gaskets for blenders.

I have no idea where you reside (in what country), so I cannot refer you to a bricks & mortar store or an online vendor to find the right replacement gasket.

Fixya.com receives questions from people world wide. I am answering from the USA.

Instead, I suggest you use your favorite search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.) and the following search strategy:
blender gasket replacement

The search results will list businesses selling a variety of replacement gaskets for specific brands.

Best wishes.

Possibly the gasket while it lasts on the cheap on eBay by searching "VINTAGE HAMILTON BEACH REPLACEMENT RUBBER GASKET" there. Try typing in your model number at HB's parts site, located by clicking here . Many www sites like abtecparts.com and goodmans.net could help you. Besides matching description, I would match the pictures of what you are going for against what you've got as much as possible. Good luck!

Boy, I spent some time on this and - so far as finding an exact replacement on the Internet - I'm stumped.

But I'll tell you what I'd do, in your position.

I'd take the old worn (or split) gasket to Ace Hardware or True Value, and ask someone to match it up for you. Really, a gasket is a gasket. It's just a matter of the size, the thickness, and the "compressability" of the rubber (obviously, you'll want a soft rubber gasket). If you find one, you may want to buy two of them... just in case.

If this doesn't work, then get a square piece of rubber gasket material (Ace, True Value, Home Depot, etc.). You can either cut one yourself (use cups, jars, measuring spoons that are the right diameters to draw your two ring patterns), using an Exacto knife to carefully cut them out.

If you don't want to do this yourself, ask someone who's handy & who has a steady hand to do it for you. You can pay them with a freshly made smoothie.

I did the same thing. Order parts at thegourmetdepotco.com -- This problem is caused when you put the rubber gasket underneath the blade instead of above it. This causes two problems: 1. It lifts the teeth on the jar away from the teeth on the drive gear, which can grind down and break off the teeth, and 2. If the drive gear contacts the rubber gasket, it will melt the rim of the drive gear. In the future, to reassemble the jar after cleaning, first put the rubber gasket on the jar, then the blade, lastly screw on the base ring.
