Hi, I was trying to juice some carrots + kale. The kale was difficult to move through. At one point it was stuck. I shut the juicer off, took out the kale, cleaned the juicer but it would not start up. The next day I tried again and the juicer would not even turn on. Please let me know what I need to do to get it repaired. Thank you

Hi there,
It seemed that when the kale got stucked it caused the juicer to either exert more power than its supposed to causing problems inside the unit.
1. Open the unit up and please check the fuse make sure that it has not blown due to possible excess electricity it received. 2.Check if the gears of the juicer are in place and that they are not damaged. 3. Using a power tester check the switch and the pc-board because some capacitors may have been damaged and those needs to be replaced as well.
If you're uncomfortable doing that then you may need the help of a local technician so they can do all the testing and the replace the parts that needs to be replaced for you.
Side note: Consider the price of getting this unit repaired and getting a new one. If the price will be half or more of what a new one would cost it would be better to let it go and get a brand new juicer.
Hope this helps!

I juice mainly green vegetables: kale, spinach, etc, then carrots -and it doesn't have enough power, slows down and then stops - any idea why?

Sorry, but it's not designed for leafy vegetables.
Carrots, apples, celery-yes. For kale, spinach
try a inexpensive, hand powered, wheat grass
juicer. About $50.

For an Oster Juicer Model 3165, how do I remove the stainless steel basket? Thanks.

Move from side to side and jiggle the whole assembly .. including the juice collector and juicing basket. With patience and even a break between attempts it will finally dislodge itself and lift up and off.

Just juiced carrots and a couple apples .. mmmm good ;-) best of luck

Shuts itself off when juicing

FIRST DUMP THE FILTERS, THEY DECREASE YIELD AND MAY CAUSE MORE VIBRATION.
IF JUICER SHUTS DOWN PUSH RESET BUTTON ON BOTTOM. THIS TYPE OF JUICER DOES
NOT EJECT PULP AND REQUIRES SOME TIME TO MASTER. FEED THE STUFF SLOW AND
STEADY. WANT A GOOD JUICE? TRY 1 APPLE, 2 CARROTS, 2 CELERY AND A HALF LEMON.
IF YOU ARE REALLY BRAVE YOU CAN FINISH OFF BY SLOWLY POURING 6 OR 8 OUNCERS
OF WATER RIGHT DOWN THE CHUTE. THIS NOT ONLY DILUTES BUT LEECHES MORE JUICE
OUT OF THE PULP. JUICE SHOULD BE DILUTED AND DRANK SLOWLY.

Pulp galore!

are you exceeding the capacity of the juicer? you will get about 2 and 1/2 large glasses of juice before the pulp fills the spinning basket. Apple peels are very tough, apples and tomatoes need to be peeled before juicing. Use the filters, the juice comes out much clearer and the juicer is easier to clean up. I so a lot of carrots, carrots are super food.
