Oil is leaking from drive motor. Can it be repaired?

check to make sure the drive stud is spinning with the motor. If it is, make sure the blade assembly is lining up correctly as well as fitting tight on the drive stud. How to Repair Blender How to Repair Small Appliances Tips and Guidelines

There is next to no oil in a food processor. Sure the top bush/bearing is lubricated with oil but gravity does not go up no matter where you are from.

Replace the blade assembly, it comes complete with the bearings which is where the grease is coming from.

Sounds like the motor shaft has broken from the impeller. If I had it I would crack the case and see if that were true.(You might see screws holding the case together- If not, they might be hidden under the cosmetic label. If it is true, you need factory help. You better call Customer Service for Bamix.
THis is from http://www.bamix-usa.com/:
The drive shaft is frozen i.e. no longer rotates although the motor still hums: place the operative part of the appliance for 5 to 10 minutes in a jug of hot water, then switch it on. In general the appliance will then work again - if not just try to free the shaft very carefully with pliers




It can happen that the attachments fall off the shaft as they have in time become loose. In this case simply press the spring blades lightly together with a pair of pliers Processor/Dry Grinder: Discoloration of the bowl (i.e. carrots) can be cleaned with a cloth impregnated with salad oil.

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 determine..if it is indeed the motor that is fried. Do this by not using the caraffe. Plug in the motor and run it by itself. If it runs fine without smoking again..It is the caraffe that is defective.
If its the motor you are out of luck completely. Jack Lalanne is out of business.
If it is the caraffe..which I suspect it is not...oil the rim of the bearing that is on the outside of your caraffe ..it surrounds the knurled part that is inserted into the blender...even if you are able to get the motor repaired..get in the habit of oiling the caraffe bearing after each time you use it. If you dont it will fail within months to a year of use
Lalanne had they made in China..and using unsealed bearinga that rust out and the contents of the blender come out!! So I discovere dthat oiling that part each time after use..keeps my blender running smoothly.
You might want to take yoru motor to a small appliance repairman..he might find something simple happened.. like a loose wire connection inside! If he does...you have a simple solution and a motor that works!
Remember to oil the bearing a couple drops each time after use...and if yoru caraffe ever fails you can buy a new one..( Oil that one too!) at Cooking Toys..you can google for the address

Take your motor to a small appliance repairman. It might just be a loose wire..inside that needs replaced or re connected then follow my tips below.





I have been thru the fire about this! I sent my Healthmaster in recd another and it failed also. Almost always..it is the bearing that fails in the caraffe that supports the blade. The bearings that Jack Lalanne had installed in China..were not sealed...so they would allow water to enter corrode and eventually all of your blenders contents would come out thru the bottom! Or another thing that can happen is your blade will freeze up due to corrosion....and become immovable.
Jack Lalanne healthmaster is out of business. I manged to get a refund form Tristar..Lalannes distributor..BECAUSE they authorized me sending my blender back for a new one...and then they cashed my shipping check and then threw out my blender!!!!! I also had to call for weeks till I drove Tristar insane...so they ponied up the dough
So I doubt you can receive any money.
But this is what you CAN do!
1) If your motor functions well..you can buy a new carafe for 45 dollars or so from Cooking toys ( google cooking toys and it should come up)
2) OR if your cheap like me...and your blade doesnt rotate easily due to corrosion and your caraffe isnt leaking much...put a couple drops of oil on the outter rim of the bearing ( That would be located directly on the bottom of the outside of the caraffe..it surrounds the knurled metal part that is inserted in the motor for blending.
My blade was corroded and leaking a tiny bit..I put some olive oil on the bearing and it worked great! I have ben able to use my caraffe for a month now...when I expected to have to buy a new one from "Cooking Toys" Which I will do if this one fails.
3) If you buy a new caraffe form cooking toys..my advice? OIL THE BEARING WITH A LITTLE OIL...(any kind of vegetable oil) AFTER EACH TIME YOU USE IT! I SUSPECT IT WILL LAST INDEFINITELY>>>BUT TIME WILL TELL!

I wish I could tell you a definite solution. Have you tried calling 973-575-5400 (ext 129)? I realize it isn't toll-free. According to several web sites, the manufacturer has discontinued the product, but they should definitely still be supporting the motor warranty.

Mine is eating the bearing in the bottom of the pitcher. That seems to be everyone's most frequent problem although mine hasn't actually started to leak yet. The motor is just fine. I suspect Jack Lalanne started getting complaints about the pitcher bearing and dropped his support for the product because of that.
