I've owned my Blendtec for a year now &amp; have been through 2 Wildside jars due to the carbon seal failing. Has anyone else encountered this?

I've owned mine for over a year and I have experienced that seal failing once. I expect that it is going to fail again soon. This does seem to be their weak point. They replaced it with no problem but I couldn't make my daily green smoothie for more than a week.

Same thing happened to me and it cannot be repaired....the entire jar must be replaced. Call kitchen aid, they offer a one time courtesy replacement jar even if your blender is out of warranty. I have retired mine from smoothie making and purchased a ninja ultima.

I haven't had that problem, but needed a gasket. Called Slime and they were very responsive - hopefully they can help you out too.

Can't fix them. I had 2 of them fail and when Blendtec had a demonstration at Costco brought them both back and they exchanged them no questions asked. I think I got lucky because I got no previous satisfaction with Blendtecs customer service. The newer jars have a better bearing design but still not made to be repaired, just replaced and still expensive.

The Blendtec Website states that there is a 3 year warranty on this Twister Jar. I personally own it and love it. Fantastic for more sticky / thicker blends.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

I would check and make sure the rubber seal is in place. Mine comes off after each use and I have to reattach it. Also try the dual lid trick. Otherwise mine works fine. Please note if the plastic has a crack, the jar sealer will not work.

I have now went through 2 jars in the past 6 years. And am in need of another already because mine is also leaking fluid out the bottom seal. its all rusty and leaks into the base. it will ruin your motor in the base. so dont use a leaking jar! Its a pain, the jars for this blender are junk:(

Absolutely. There should be a silver safety seal on all jars that leave our facility. If this is not the case with yours, please discard of your current jar and email us with your order number and we will immediately ship you a new jar. Thank you and sorry for the hassle!

Ive never had that problem. Im sorry. Maybe it is something to do with your environment? Or maybe yours isnt sealing correctly

Ours started leaking through a hairline crack in the shaft of the blade assembly. I've replaced two in the 9 years we've owned our Cuisinart blender. Both times for the same reason. This new one seems substantively sturdier (fingers crossed).

It is pictured with the FourSide jar in other color selections, so yes. I would not recommend their fourside jar, however. I purchased two within a three year period and with both jars the rubber gasket underneath corroded with use (smelled like burning rubber, black fluid running out.) Both my jars ended up leaking so badly that they cannot be used. Read the reviews, and you will see many other customers had the same problem. I called Blendtec twice and was on hold for almost two hours and never got through. Other customers who did get through said that Blendtec was not helpful. I wish I had not purchased their blender.

Mine is about two years old and has been used pretty heavily without the seals breaking down as yet! I hope your experience is not about to happen to me!I watched the YouTube disassembly video, which is quite well detailed, but unless you are mechanically adept and have the special tools needed, in hand, I think you might have trouble doing the job. You will also need to order the replacement kit from Crossman. I would certainly check to see if Crossman would handle the repair and what their charge would be before deciding what to do!!

Unfortunately unable to answer about fitting your particular model number. However, after reading some reviews some people had the same issue I did with the jar not sealing or lid fitting or leaking. I had to give up and just buy a new blender.

It must not have sealed well. Maybe you could contact the seller and get a replacement just to be sure. I wouldn't think it would be bad, unless it smells bad. I've ordered 2 jars but not had that problem. I always remove the blue outer wrapping and just have an unmarked jar sitting by the stove.

We just started carrying the Life-Flo Pure Magnesium Oil on our product line. This is the first time we have heard of the bottle breaking after a couple uses. We will definitely look into this and we really appreciate your feedback.

Yes, three years. I can't imagine needing it though. This brand is solid! BTW, we are 100% satisfied with the BlendTec. I bought the big jar and the twisted and skipped the normal one. Perfect for us!
