I think my magic bullet over heated and now it won't work. I could smell burning plastic and now when I try to use it, it won't blend. Any suggestions. I hate to buy a new one because I don't need all the attachments. If the motor is broke can I buy only the base and not all the other parts?

The Magic Bullet power base is designed with HIGH TORQUE MOTORS and it is NOT TO BE USED FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE PER USE.Otherwise its gonna last a long time. You need to buy a new one or a refurbished one. Search google with keywords "amazon magic bullet power base".

The plastic post with springs on my magic bullet are all rusted off. Where can I get replacement?

You can try contacting the manufacturer of the Magic Bullet directly to see if they offer replacement parts, including the plastic posts with springs. If they don't, you can also check online retailers or specialty kitchen appliance stores to see if they carry the parts you need. You may also be able to find third-party replacement parts on websites such as Amazon or eBay.

Base gear for the top of the base

Carefully take it apart and clean it thoroughly. If you see any burnt wires, trying replacing those if you know how to replace one. As for the plastic gear on the power base, it can be easily replaced with any ordinary similar coupler of the same size, for example like the one KitchenAid supplies (Blending coupler 9704230). The only catch here is that you need to replace the coupler on the base of your choppers as well. This would be a better idea considering getting rid of the cheap plastic used in these blenders and the need for long-term use.

My plastic "wings" broke on my Magic Bullet also, andno one knows where to get a replacement

So, rather than pay for an entire new motor and wait for two weeks forthem to get it to me, I just made a new gear/broken thing. I crazyglued the old piece back together again and used it to make a plastermold...like the way people do with their kid's hands. Then I filledthe mold with JB Weld and let it dry. After that, I drilled a hole inthe new JB weld gear so that it would fit over the metal part in thebullet(that actually spins).

Glued it on (with more jb weld) and the thing has been making my smoothies and grinding my coffee with no more issues.

Sounds complicated, but it wasn't too bad. Funny thing is, the newpiece is probably heaps stronger than the cheap plastic thing thatbroke in the first place.

Do it yourself,
I'm tired of made-to-break products and could make anyone else one of these things for around 10 bucks!
