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.

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 have used my old blender several times and still works great. Just remember:Remove 3 screws on the bottom of the blenderPull off coverUse a screwdriver to keep the motor's shaft from spinningOn the other side, use a wrench, grab and unscrew the brass ring in a clockwise motion (It's reverse threaded)Screw on new replacement blade driver (Counter-clockwise to tighten)Put blender cover back onReinstall the 3 screws on the bottom of the blenderYou're done!

What's the rubber issue? I have owned my blender for a number of months, use it almost daily and have no issues. I'm extremely happy.

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

Hi - Sorry you're having trouble. This thing is adorable! But the nozzle on our jar is the pits. My husband was trying to pour lemonade for guests and gave up - and used a soup scoop to get the liquid out of the top of it. A real disappointment. I'm not looking at mine (it's in a box high up on a shelf) - but - it seems to me if you can figure out how to unscrew the nozzle, you could then replace the washer. I'm sure you can find the correct size of washer in a hardware store. While you're at it, you might consider getting a completely new nozzle set up. I think I need to do the same thing. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Good luck!

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

If you're sure that it isn't just over-filled (can happen if bottle is squeezed), then I'd drain, shake, & let the unit dry out. Then, seal the leak; the best seal imo is that Lazer Bond stuff, not too expensive.

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.

My guess it is probably from the motor. I suggest you call customer service at Blendtec. I got rid of mine after 2 years because of too many issues with the leaking seals and exploding lid. Never fill it up completely. Always fill it no more than 3/4 full.

the blades screw out of the bottom for cleaning. Be sure to read the instructions on using the lid to unscrew the bottom! I use the blender weekly.

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .

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 lost mine too, but it seemed to function okay without leaking. however it may eventually. i would look for a replacement if you are going to keep the unit.

When I first got mine, I thought there was a problem, but then I realized that it worked just fine. I think it just looked wrong because the bottom of the container is bigger around than the blender cap so it looks like it should go down farther into the base unit.

Latest was life time. But even though it is a great powerful blender all 3 I have had have a leaking bearing on the bottom of the plastic blender.

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