Blender Dead as a Doornail

I was using my blender (Cuisinart SmartPower Duet). Turned it off and when I tried to turn it on again, nothing. I don't know what to do. Tried the food processor attachment, but the problem seems to be with the motor.

    I just bought the Cuisinart FPB-5CHB SmartPower Duet on 10/24/08. We used it one time. Now (on 10/26/08) I just tried to use it and nothing happens. The lights come on but when I hit the speed button the motor doesn't turn on.

My Cuisinart SmartPower Duet Chrome Blender/Food Processor Model BFP-703CHTX5 Buttons light up red when pressed, but nothing spins. Blade assembly feels very tight. Spindle does not spin as well.
Sounds like you've lost a motor. Same thing happened with my Kitchen Aid. Toasted motor.

Lights come on, motor turns briefly, then stops
Check that blade can turn easily with unit unplugged. Fix that first then replace the fuse.

Cuisinart smartpower duet BFP703 food processor repair manual
Oh some of these answers... the most common issue with blender is that the removable blade unit starts to jam. So :
1. unscrew it, clean it and make sure it turns easy
2. open the unit and replace the fuse that blew up because turning the blade became too hard.
Voila

My cuisinart smartpower duet BFP 703 suddenly made a bad grinding noise, overheated and it would seem the black blener driver disk in the middle of the base motor has cracked. Can I either get a new black...
Replacement Parts and a Manual for your product are available here:

I believe the black blender driver disk you refer to would be listed as the Gear Box Collar for Duet.

My mini cuisinart stopped working
Place the gearbox on top of the blender/food processor
Place the work bowl over the spindle, with the handle facing the front of the machine - make sure the tabs lock into place.
Place the stem adapter on top of the spindle, then the blade.
Place the lid on top of the bowl, with the feed tube facing the back of the food processor. Then the pusher into the feed tube.

The Blender attachment will not turn, just grinds and smokes.
The motor shaft that spins the teeth that are on the base of the blender may be frozen up for some reason. If you purchased the duet within the last 3 years and have a receipt, call Cuisinart to get it repaired in warranty - even if you don't have a receipt, your serial number may still save you. If you purchased it more than 3 years ago, let me know.

Lights are on but it wont run
If you have had your blender/food processor for less than 3 years, call Cuisinart and get it repaired in-warranty. You can find a new BFP-703 from $80-$100, and even an in-warranty repair will cost you $20-$30 in shipping (just food for thought). If you are Out Of Warranty, let me know, and I can give you some diagnostic assistance - if the shaft is just locked up, and can be oiled, that is a pretty easy fix. Anything else wrong with the unit is going to be tricky, since original internal parts are not available for sale.
