I own this blender, and it is leaking from the bottom of the container (where the blades attach). Does anyone know how to repair this?

it hurts because it is an excellent product, you can store it by sending some information to get authorized repair center

I would return it -it's all one piece-so you would have to be careful whatever you used did not react to food-

Mine is leaking too and I have used it ONCE. Emailed the seller and I will see what they say. It does have a 1 year replacement warranty, so we will see. I really like the look of this blender too. I can't remember where I say it, but it was given high marks for a medium priced blender.

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.

Hi Bonnie The motor should not have a loose sound. I would send back for a replacement. The blender is awesome I think you'll love it.

OK so we solved the problem. We got angry and just pulled. The black round thing with the blade does come out if you just give it a tug or use a spoon to pry it up. Then you can simply remove the bottom part and rinse/wash it. Hope this helps anyone who is as frustrated as we were, but if you could still send the manual and recipe book that would be great. Thanks. -elizabeth

Unscrew the bottom of the blender if the old ring will not come off with a little prying with the tip go a fork or thin screw driver. soak the part the ring is stck to in warm soapy water and it should come loose. Sometimes the ring gets tacky in old age. Good luck

We can send you a gasket and that should solve the problem if the leak is from poor seal. However if the leak is from the bearing you may have to replace the whole blade assembly.

Im no expert, but try checking out the container for cracks, take the blade out using the wrench, clean it up and put it back in.

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

It scratched mine. I have swirl marks all over the bottom, but I still love the blender.

Hi Sharon,Mine still not leaking after reworked as described by me. Really is a nice design but a minimum care from Black & Decker with us, "victims" of defective products like this one, is desirable.Cheers,Paulo

Same issue here... In the process of cleaning it out, I saw that the small plastic ring had fallen off and was at the bottom of the bottle. I reattached it and Viola! It started working again!

Beats me. I unscrewed the blender base from the smaller containers that came with the Magic Bullet originally and screwed it unto the pitcher. It attached just fine and "WaLa!" just a larger container to blend more stuff. Hope this helps. Sue

Patricia; I'm sorry not to be able to give you any more information about this part. I bought mine and did the repair quite some time ago...long enough that now I don't even have that blender anymore. I will tell you as I took my blender apart and discovered how cheaply/poorly it was made I felt the effort and money I put into resurrecting it was wasted. I won't buy any Cuisinart appliances anymore, the construction is shoddy and parts are much too expensive. You'll probably save money and time simply tossing your old blender and buying a new quality unit. Your other option would be to find a similar unit to yours at a tag sale or on Craigslist. You will probably pay less for the entire working blender, than just this part...and you'll need it as a source of other parts as it continues to deteriorate. Good luck.

hi Julie, sorry my blender never work, I had to returne it but I don't think that if it is properly attach should loose it

If the little gear in the center of the base (it drives the blender) becomes damaged it's an easy fix with a bit of JB Weld. To see exactly how to make the repair watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/embed/Qkb2a0Of4fs?rel=0&autoplay;=1

Sorry, I have the same issue and didn't know what to do, so I glued the one cup that had cracked at the top seam...which kept the liquid out of the inside gap...other than that, they keep things hot longer, so I keep it with the cracks and all.

Never leak??!! I have a two month old Blendtec Wildside (96 oz BPA-free) jar that is leaking (more accurately, pouring) out the bottom. I sure do hope this is just a rare fluke, but I have my doubts. I'm sure Blendtec will replace it, but is this just going to keep happening?

I have not, only cold liquids for my smoothies. I'd recommend against it as the heated liquid may cause the seal in the blade assembly to fail over time. I have had my Oster for about 9 months and love it, but the seals sometimes fail on the blade assembly (I got a second one from the manufacturer) and they will leak a small amount of liquid through. I suspect using hot liquids will cause this even sooner.
