Breville Blender My blender doesn't spin, I can turn it on and hear the motor but it doesn't spin at all. What are my options?

Try customer service/or utube

Most food processor / mixer / blender models that I've seen work in tandem.
On my Salton, for example, start-up runs both the blender / smoothie jug and the larger chopper / slicer on the right.
If your model does not have separate controls, then not possible.

there are some Breville Blender troubleshooting tips here
http://brevilleusasupport.com/bbl550xl/troubleshooting . Tied in with that, a high pitched noise could come in from a few directions:

Some blenders will use reduction gears to get more torque and power out of a high RPM, lower power motor. If this is the case, the whine could be from the motor, though if you hadn't noticed before, that would not be reassuring.

Per the troubleshooting, check that the blade is firmly attached, and that the coupling from jug to base is firm. If there are gaps or loos spots, there can be buzzing or whining between sort-of-spinning parts and shafts or bolt threads.

Check the motor base for dried spilled-on margarita mix or marinara sauce or what have you. they try to seal this pretty tight in a blender, but it has to spin, so food spills can get in the gap and cause friction and resistance, which can in turn cause whining noises from parts not expecting the load. If you do any cleaning or poking there, make sure you unplug the blender first. Shocks are not fun.

likewise, make sure that blade rotates easily from turning the coupling on the outside of the jug. If not, the bearing may be siezed or contaminated. That you'd likely want to fix by replacement.

Hope this helps!

Please include more information. Does the motor spin freely by hand? Do you smell anything strange? Does the switch click when moved?

This is not really the solution it is just a better description of the problem that I am also having. This is a great blender however the part where the cup blades conect to the motor is made of plastic.
So what has happened here is that the motor is fine, the cup is fine only the plastic part that makes the motor turn the blades has worn down therefore rendering the blender useless. I would like to know where I could get this small part to change on my blender!!!

Sounds like the gear teeth may be stripped

FIXED IT - It's the screws on the bottom of the jar assembly, where the blades are attached. There are 4 Torx screws - star-shaped - and when these come loose over time the Blender will start to operate only sometimes. Eventually it will be never.
Tighten these four screws and everything will be fine!

There is a 10 Amp thermal fuse (SF129E) that is supposed to create an open circuit when the motor windings exceed 133 C degrees. Although this fuse should close again when the motor cools down it can become perminantly damaged. Locate the fuse by following the black leads from the coltrol board to the motor brushes. It's inside a cloth insulating sheath secured against the windings with a metal strap and two ty-raps. I bypassed the fuse with a wire instead of replacing it. It would probably just blow again sooner or later. p.s. you need a T10 Torx screw driver to disassemble (screws under rubber feet) $3 at ACE hardware.
