HAND HELD BLENDER ATTACHMENT DOES NOT SPIN BUT MOTOR WORKS

Either the coupling from the motor with the fingers on it is not really attached to the motor shaft or the drive on the blade that engages with it is not attached to the blade shaft. One other thing is that on some models if the rubber jar seal between the beaker and the blade carrier is in the wrong place it can raise the blade drive to not engaging properly with the motor coupling. The gasket goes between the jar and the blade carrier, not under the blade carrier.

Please include more information. Does the motor spin freely by hand? Do you smell anything strange? Does the switch click when moved?

Sounds like the gear is stripped inside

Plug something else into the electrical receptical to verify you have power from your outlet. Then remove bottle and blade assembly; and press the two small black micro-switches inside the base of the blender. If your blender still won't turn on then you may have a faulty motor or motor connection.

I have a Braun Vario Model 418 hand processor - motor works fine but when attached to the blender, the blender shaft vibrates - if you look into the inside of the blender, the shaft is shaking - may be some support is missing. Can any one advise what can be done.

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

Replace the blade assembly immediately. They are available from Cuisinart's website. Sugars and other stuff can gum up the blade assembly over time, so it will periodically need to be replaced. A quick and easy way to keep the blade assembly clean and working longer is to put water and a drop of dishwashing soap in the blender after use and run the blender at low speed for 15-20 seconds - an old Osterizer trick.

Remove blender attachment completely, turn machine on and see if it will spin with all attachments removed - if it spins, then replace the blade assembly - parts available from Cuisinart. If it doesn't spin, send to Cuisinart for repair (call first).

My wife picked ours up at a rummage sale, and we've grown to love the little thing for making single servings of banana milk shake. (half a frozen banana, cover with milk, a drop of vanilla, and about one minute with the hand blender blade!) When my youngest boys dropped ours, I gathered up the pieces of plastic that connect the attachments to the motor shaft, and carefully super glued them together. I then wrapped the plastic piece with fine nylon thread and a thin layer of super glue and placed it back onto the motor shaft, then let it sit for 24 hours. It is now permanently attached to the motor shaft and good to go. Too bad Philips doesn't care enough to support their customers with a part their engineers designed to break and save the rest of the product. I'll remember this about Philips products when I buy an HDTV.
