If the power light is on and the motor is not running the circuit board that starts the motor is defective. You could try to bypass the control board and apply power directly to the motor to verify the motor is ok and no blown fuse or circuit breaker. then you get to replace the circuit board or isolate a failing component on the circuit board.
Smoke sounds like the motor is burned out, or possibly just overworked. You could let it rest for 15 minutes and try again, but be careful, as the insulation on the wires could have melted.
Smoke in appliances is usually a bad sign!
You probably need to push set again or something when it appears you should be done. I have a slow cooker and they work that way. It appears to be running but you still need to push one more button or the program will stop after 15 minutes.
It sounds like the motor is overheating, how long will it run with no beaker on it? If still 45 seconds I'd say new motor time. If it runs for 5 or 10 minutes then I would say replace the blade and bearing assembly in the beaker.
This worked for me - only took about 5 minutes (the amount of time it took for me to google Black & Decker and search through their FAQ)
Q. My blender stopped in the middle of blending. What happened? A. Your blender has a motor overheat protection system that will
automatically shut off the blender when it has been running too long
with a heavy load. If this happens, unplug the blender and wait 10-15
minutes to allow the motor to cool down. Plug in the blender and resume
blending.
Leaking of oil in a stand mixer is not necessarily indicative of a large problem.
Kitchenaid
stand mixers are overpacked with oil to last the lifetime of the motor.
If the motor sits idle for some time (is not used), the oil may begin
to drip from the gears and settle. Oil leakage may primarily be seen
from around the beater shaft or planetary action.
A stand mixer can lose up to a 1/4 cup of oil before it needs to be serviced.
It
is recommended to run the mixer on speed 10 for 2 minutes in order to
redistribute oil back into the motor. In order to prevent future
occurences, this is recommended to be done every 3 weeks if mixer is
not being used.
first check the blades on the container thay should turn easy by hand if not thats your problem , you will need blades . blades turn easy ? you will need to replace the motor . the temp /overload has changed and is tripping to easy . this is common with people that use there vitamix for tough chores a lot . a lesser blender would just burn up a motor in a puff of smoke .a vitamix dies this way . in the end its the same you will need a motor
When the lights are flashing, this does indicate that an electronic part has failed. This blender is no longer manufactured, so finding replacement parts for it may not come easily. Repair centers are available. I would recommend calling Kitchenaid Customer Service to see what they can recommend for you.
The thermal fuse is blown. You can buy a replacement from RadioShack for $1.69 You have to remove the old one and solder in the new one. If youre "handy" its very easy. Take it to a repair shop, you pay about the same as a new one. Its too bad that most electronics made today are cheaper to throw away and buy a new one rather than fix them when they break.
