Jar Leaking: Is this happening to anyone else?
1069142
Hi Kathryn. To me, it sounds like the seal in your jar is starting to go bad. I have a Blendtec HP3A that developed a leaky jar. After about six months of normal use the blade stopped spinning smoothly by hand; it felt slightly ratchety but it still blended just fine. Next, it started to leak a very small amount of dark liquid from the bottom of the jar around the shaft. Then, it leaked more. Right after the one year warranty expired, the seal around the shaft smoked and disintegrated while grinding grain. Now the jar is completely unusable. Blendtec pretty much said 'tough luck, would you like to buy our new (even more over-priced) jar with a 4" blade?' I asked if they had improved the seal, but the Blendtec customer rep. didn't know so she gave me the "sonically welded blade with a lifetime warranty" sales pitch. I have been without a blender for almost a year and I'll have to fork out more money for a replacement jar because I did not recognize the first symptoms of a seal failure. So, learn from my mistake and start complaining to Swindletec about their over-priced, disposable jar with its poor quality seal while it is still under warranty.

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.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

We have never had a problem with a leak. The lids fit the jar well and are made well. Hope this helps

I've had no problems like this. It seems there may be something else going on with yours. Was anything spilled on it?

I have not had any issues with it so far. Check the seal and make sure you secure the lid before using. If it continues to leak, contact Ninja for a replacement. Hope that helps.

Yes -- appears to be leaking from the bottom of the machine. Tried using it in "real-time" (made coffee immediately after adding water instead of using programmable mode) and still have the issue.

Ours is leaking uncontrollably. We had the maintenance guy in our building come put it in so I know it's not an installation error.

Yes. I just called Oster a couple days ago to ask about replacing my jar under warranty because it was leaking. No questions asked, new jar is being shipped to me at no charge. And they told me to discard my current jar.

I have never really had any issues. The jar has never had a shrink wrap seal on it no matter where I buy it. I just make sure that the jar is full and not leaking when I receive it.

Did the manufacturer help you out? I have the same issue. My fuel line is leaking.

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

I haven't had any problems with my Steamboy leaking, I've been using for a month now. I noticed that two black seals are supposed to be on the cap (extras were included attached to the instruction manual.) I would check to see if they are on and the cap is screwed on tightly. Sounds like you both got a defective product and I would return them.
