Does the blade turn by hand? Does the motor turn by hand? The answers to both those questions may point you in the right direction. If both turn freely I would suspect you need a new motor.
Arcing at the brushes is normal although if worn down enough, they can skip since their travel is limited to avoid damaging the copper commutator.Look at the brush guides closely; the simple spring that supplies a little tension to the brushes will 'bottom out' on a slot in the guide once the brushes get too short.
The skipping might be due to the type of speed regulator that is used; an older type was mechanical and didn't regulate well at low speeds.
the GFI is the receptacle in your kitchen, not on the unit itself,, the reset is the small red button in the middle of the receptacle ( sometimes gray) you just push that in to reset it,, newer homes have these in restrooms and kitchens for safety issues , however, back to your problem, try plugging the unit in to a receptacle without a GFI ,, if it works, its due to the high amps needed to start your blender and it trips the circuit. if it doesn't work,, Just take it back where you bought it , so you don't void any warranty on the unit and just get another one
Well it might just be over heated, let it cool for approx 20 minutes then restart if it doesn't then u may try switching electrical outlets, if that doesn't work then it needs to be replaced. I hope that this helps, if not please let me know and i will try and help you out as much as i can.
I have not seen this problem with ours yet but if turning up the speed doesn't help (first thought would be the motor's overloading because you're using hard foods in it on a low setting). If it shuts off even under light loads, judging by the manual it's something you need to send it in for. See if there's a service center in the area. These Kitchen Centers aren't made any more and it's unlikely you can fix it yourself.
