Need to replace power cord on a Vita-Mix 5000

Hello, The need to replace the power cord on a Vita-Mix 5000 but I don't know how to get inside the case to replace it. The only 4 screws that I can see seem 2 small to hold the two parts of the case together. ( my wife ran the power cord on top of the stove and very much cooked the power cord.
Thanks for your assistance RB

SOURCE: my nblender just stop working, power in was good, no reaction.

Switch must be bad, remove the four screws on the bottom they are under the feet, then check switches, and replace broken one.

SOURCE: Vita-mix Blender will not power on

We just had this problem.  Called VitaMix and they talked about resetting the thermal protection switch inside.  They suggested lifting the base down firmly, but gently, on the counter to help the internal switch reset.  I did it while they were on the phone and, sure enough, the machine came back to life.  Hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have a Vita Mix 3600. I was making a fruit

Yes that is strange, if you let it cool down and try it again with pushing the re-set button and still does not work, try plugging it into a different outlet. Find something in your place that you know outlet is working, lamp, toaster you know. If does work in another out let, then you of course griped that breaker. Then check your breaker box to see what breaker is tripped, and switch it back on, might just of had a power surge based on putting on reverse. If that don't work, I suppose possibly something in motor or switch went out. Please let me know, if it works, I will take a banana smoothie LOL

SOURCE: looking for instruction manuel Vita-Mix 5000

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. Vita-Mix did not provide an instruction manual for their blender since it is easy to use. You can check the link below for the function of the panel of the blender

High pitched noise with use

The problem was the seal was worn, allowing liquid to seep past into the top blade shaft bearing washing out the grease and ruining the bearing. The "noise" you heard was the bearing running without any lubrication. Both bearings and the seal needed to be replaced but I have not found a source for purchasing these. Vita-Mix Company does not sell parts, they sell units (outrageously priced units)!

Have had my Vita-mix 5000 for several years with no problems. Now, it leaks oily, black liquid around the base, and jerks erratically when the blender is set on the lowest setting (#1 of 10)/variable.

Is it getting hot when you operate it? If you run a mixer for a long
time, the motor will get very warm. On the older units, when the
motor overheats, the various parts of the motor and its container
may start to melt. Mixer motors are not designed to last forever and
a replacement motor may be available from the manufacturer.
Another way is to purchase another similar mixer as you can on
eBay and swap parts.
