I have it, while blending a soup, the blade stopped turning but the motor was still working. Any idea why?

A lot of people say that the plastic drive shaft strips out after only a few months. Probably what has happened to yours. I think you can just take the two pieces apart and look at the plastic drive shaft (there is a picture of a stripped on on Amazon's site under the manufacturer photos) to see if that is indeed your problem.

You are overheating your mixer, it will break! Too much ice along with frozen mushy fruits will clog the motor. You probably dont have enough liquid and should start small and then add more once the first portion is started. Read the manual.

There is a plastic connection between the motor and the shaft of the mixing blade, mine broke and now Waring tells me that there are no replacement parts for a Waring WSB40, when they brake toss them out is what I was told. think about it before you buy?

Sounds like the motor is defective. You should return the product to Amazon for a replacement.

Sounds like it's defective. I would contact the company. Mine works pretty well, tho I haven't used one in this price range before. The attachment of the brush to the motor sometimes vibrates loose while in use. I bought a couple of extra brushes so hope the unit lasts a while. The included travel brush is less robust, but performance is ok.

Not me. I've used my blender every day for over a year. I would return it before the warranty expires. Maybe you got a dud.

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

I've owned two of these and had this problem with the first one. IT was caused by a break in the plastic where the beater attaches. There was no way to fix it and I'd had it for several years, so I got a new one. The motor on that one died after a couple years. We loved this mixer when it worked, but ultimately found it not very durable.

Same here. It worked fine for a while, and suddenly, the blade wouldn't go back down. Can't figure it out.

i fixed mine and it works like it did before no issues. The only problem is that you have to break the blender apart to fix it.

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!

Never had this problem. I'd check to make sure blade is engaged and take battery out & put it back in. May have just jiggled loose.

Also try a different blade. I only use blades in my unit and never had any problems.

I had the motor slow down when the knife I was sharpening was a thick blade. Just hold it with a lighter touch and it worked fine.

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).

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...

I bought a blade and it cracked after a few months. I just put my food processor away in the garage. Another blade doesn't seem worth it, but hand chopping herbs is very time consuming.
