Has any one had a problem getting the glass jar's coupling piece to fit into the base? Mine just sits above the part that makes the blades spin. It will only spin if I hold down the jar firmly, and the blender makes a terrible noise. I bought this in November 2014 and just got around to using it. Thanks for any reply.

I have never had this problem. It maybe a defective unit. This blender has worked flawlessly since I bought it 2 years ago.

No problem at all with this blender. If it's too late to return it to Amazon, just contact the manufacturer and I'm sure they'll rectify the problem for you.

Before placing the jar on the blender's base, make sure that the jar is not cracked and the seal ring is not torn. Place the seal ring under the jar opening properly. It should not take any pressure to sit the jar down inside the base. If you are still having trouble, please contact Oster direct for more assistance.

You have to sort of wiggle the glass jar in order for it to fit properly. It shouldn't be making a grinding noise. However it is a loud noise. I would exchange it.

I returned mine today. I LOVE the concept of the machine but after having 3 messes due to the lid coming off and then it completely falling off at the base today, I didn't replace it. I did notice that Kohl's has a different version and it comes with a gold filter. I am going to try it and see if the extra $10 is just for the gold filter or if they actually improved the machine a bit. Hopefully it doesn't jump like this version everytime the blender turns on.

Yes, but I have had at least four of them and they only last about a month and then the blades don't spin around any more. I finally bought a different blender which is great it's a Bellevile. so any way don't buy any more replace ment blenders they are faulty. In fact I think Waring owes me a refund on all the glass replacement jars I have purchased and only last about a month....

Is it struck rigid and the blades are not rotating. If it is so yes I too had the same issue. I disassembled the Jar allowed it to Dry and put coconut oil in all the moving parts. Then leave it aside for few days and season it with one or two more cycles of coconut oil and then assemble it it should work. Leave the jar dry after every use and this issue would not re appear. If its some other issue or the above did not help, contact the distributors in "US perfect peninsula inc, sweet grass trial, flowermont, texas - +1-9726910686". Hope I could help.

We just had the same problem this morning (Christmas morning) while trying to prepare a bunch of dishes that require blending. Same scenario ... we've used it a ton since purchasing it a couple months ago, and after one particularly full blender cup turned it off and now it won't come back on (alternate blinking lights).Anyone else have this problem?

I don't know - mine is Model 34BL87 - that's the number on the motor base, not the jar. I can tell you that if you are trying to replace just the glass jar, assuming you are just as cheap as I am and saved all the other parts from the "broken" one, I had to make my own fiber washer out of automotive gasket material (thin and heat resistant) because one of the little washers crumbled when I removed the assembly. If your time is worth anything - I'd get the complete unit or buy a brand new blender in the box!

Sounds like the motor burnt out due to the faulty bearing under the blender blades.It will be an on going issue. I agree with M. Sloan.

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

Does the drive socket on the base look worn? If it isn't, then replacing it may not make a difference. Hard to say for sure. I replaced mine after it got worn from the kids repeatedly removing the pitcher before the motor had completely stopped spinning and rocking the pitcher while it was blending. The gear on the bottom of the pitcher didn't wear much but the drive socket got somewhat chewed up near its top. It seemed like the pitcher's gear wasn't fully engaging it and it was noisier than when we first got it. Replacing the drive socket fixed it for my blender.

Not a clue as to why anyone would think of using a Mason Jar on a Blender??? Ummmmm...not a good idea it seems. However, I have this blender and it is GREAT! I Love it! Is powerful and easy to use...definitely recommend it. :) :) :)

I've had my blender for over 3 years and it's never leaked, so it much be when you put it back together. Put the jar upside down, then put the rubber gasket, then the blade then screw on the base. Should be fine.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I called Blendtec & they asked to listen to the motor, serial numbers, etc....after about 15 mins. they agreed to send me a new jar. They advised me I should not hold down the jar while the blender is in use as this will put more pressure on the rubber seal. Be careful as I

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 had an older Osterizer with a round glass blender jar. The new square plastic fit and operated perfect. hope this helps.Mike

I don't believe that issue affects any Blendtec jars except for the ones they've been shipping with their newest 725 series (which isn't this blender). I've used it quite a bit and haven't had that problem.

I tried to replace my blender cup because of a chip on the rim (it still holds a seal to use it!). I couldn't find any replacement parts searching online. But the same smoothie blender was on sale on amazon.com with free shipping so I ordered a new one! I'm still using everything except the cup from my original purchase and the o-ring is still good as new! it's in there permanately and you hardly can see it, so its not a peice that will wear out easily. I have used my smoothie maker at least once a day or more since purchasing it almost a year ago and I LOVE IT!!! Its easy to use and blends great! So after a year I'm still very happy with the purchase and I think it was a great buy!! Hope this helps you out!

I am so sorry to read that the blender pitcher is not fitting to the magic bullet base, the one I received as a compatibility to it and recommended by amazon fit perfectly. I do beleive you may have been sent one with a defect I recommend you contact seller and have it replaced or request for a full refund.
