How are the blender blades supposed to look? All straight out, or bent down?

Is it a new blender or one that has worked before? Sounds like something is restricting the blades or not quite assembling correctly. What kind of blender? Any chance you could post a picture so we can have a look at how it assembles?

Go to the manufacturer website and maybe you can have or get warranty repair. It could also still be under warranty.

hi,

sounds like the bearing assembly went, right where the motor connects to the blade, you can get a replacement base from them, have to find the model number and go to their website. doubt you burnt it up. cuisinarts supposedly are commercial quality.

This is not really the solution it is just a better description of the problem that I am also having. This is a great blender however the part where the cup blades conect to the motor is made of plastic.
So what has happened here is that the motor is fine, the cup is fine only the plastic part that makes the motor turn the blades has worn down therefore rendering the blender useless. I would like to know where I could get this small part to change on my blender!!!

WARNING!!!!!
This model HB500BSS was recalled by the CPSC. blade could come off break glass and/or injure.

There is an exploded diagram here which should show how it dismantles

Not sure where you are geographically but hope that helps.
You can buy the bearings, I  was going to suggest that it wasn't worth repairing and then I checked the price of a new one!!!!  It is worth repairing I can't believe how expensive they are! Good Luck

You need to unfasten the white base from the clear jug, then the rotating blade will sit inside the white base, with the blade facing upwards. The white rubber flange goes in next. Then screw the assembled base back into the clear jug. The jug should then fit on to the stand.

If you have a model with the detachable blades. Otherwise, you'd need to purchase the blending rod from www.wpcookware.com.

Does the motor still work if you take the pitcher off of the base? If so, the rod that's in the blade assembly is probably corroded. The blades are connected to a metal rod that passes through a brass tube through to the piece that makes contact with the motor when you put the pitcher on the base. The grease wears down eventually and if you don't pulse and run the motor for a long time at once, the heat can corrode the bar and cause the blade to stop spinning. You can either disassemble the blade unit, or buy a new blade unit online. google blender parts and you can get one for $10

There are two grooves in the C blade which may be clogged up with food residue. What you need to do is get a sharp knife and score the two grooves to remove the residue, then the blade should have a better chance of staying on the stick.

The C blade is the one you use most, so that's why it would be having the problem. You probably don't have as much residue built up on the grooves of the Aerating or Blending blades.
