How do I fix or
Make sure the blade assembly is put together in the correct order. The blade needs to go through the gasket so that the order is pitcher glass, gasket, and metal blade base. Then the final plastic cap threaded onto the pitcher. If the gasket is not between the pitcher and the metal blade assembly, you will have leaks.
Also, check the gasket to be sure it's not cracked and that it doesn't have residue on it.
I hope this helps. If it does, please come back and rate my suggestion!
Two buttons are stuck in on my kitchen aid blender.
I have been searching for an answer to this same problem. My chop and mix buttons were stuck and I was getting no power or blinking lights. After finding no help on-line, I decided to take it apart and fix myself. It was easy and it worked! 1. Take the bottom of the mixer off by removing the rubber foot pads and remove the exposed 4 screws. 2. Remove the 3 sets of wires that are attached to the inside panel with clips. Very easy to remove, just squeeze at the base of the clips and pull up.3. Remove the 2 screws holding that panel in place and gently lift off. 4. Remove the panel found under the top panel by also removing 2 screws. When you flip this panel over you will see what operates the switches. In my blender the black plastic nubs that push against the buttons that were stuck and got twisted off kilter so they were not resetting properly. I just put a small screwdriver in there to try and straighten them as much as possible. All of these steps will be obvious as you disassemble the blender.5. Push on the back of the buttons that were stuck to get them unstuck before reassembling everything back together.I was surprised how easy a fix this was and how obvious what the problem was when I opened the blender up. No soldering or fancy tools needed, just 5-10 minutes and a phillips head screwdriver!Good luck!
Kitchen Aid Blender Rubber Coupling replacement
Someone else suggested a link that explains exactly how to unthread the old coupling... and it works. It took me about 90 seconds to fix my blender. But in case that link is dead, here's a summary:
(1) Note that the coupling (the round part with teeth) is threaded to the blender motor in reverse to a standard threading. So it screws off just like a bottle top, but in a clockwise direction.
(2) place the blender base on a tabletop, facing you. You should probably unplug it.
(3) take a punch or a flathead screwdriver, and place it against one of the coupling teeth that is furtherest away from you.
(4) strike the back of the screwdriver with a small hammer or maillot. The result will spin coupling clockwise. It may take several tries, but the coupling will eventually spin clockwise faster than the motor, and it will begin to unthread.
(5) unscrew the old coupling, and screw the new coupling into place (counterclockwise). Note that the new coupling will tighten itself every time you use your blender, so no need to worry about tightening it too much.
(6) Make a smoothie to celebrate your success!
Diishwasher not cleaning
1. Make sure your spinners are not blocked when your dishes are loaded. 2. Make sure you are using a good enzymatic cleaner like "Electrasol." This type of cleaner eats the food off of dishes and it is very effective. 3. Make sure the water is HOT when your dishwasher is running (open it during the cycle and check the temperature.4. Lastly, consult your manual or an online manual for troubleshooting tips for your model when it appears to stop cleaning.
