Repair the blender with your hands - 8 common problems and their solutions

Some damage to household appliances can be repaired by yourself

Blender has forced us to remove the far locker food processors, mixers, and other equipment. But, as typical of household appliances, a blender may be damaged. Fortunately, in some cases, failure is not so terrible, and repair of the blender can be made independently. How exactly, now I tell.

Features of repair

Before proceeding directly to the troubleshooting, it is important to know the very internal structure and operation of the unit.

By itself, the blender - a certain motor power hidden in the handle housing that we keep pressing the button and adjusting speed (manual). Also, a motor can be placed in the body-base (stationary).

The photo - a hand blender

It fits to the shaft of motor of a special nozzle with a knife (aureole masher and t. D.), Which rotates the blade itself rotates or when the button is pressed.

General purpose of both types of devices the same way, but in the event of a breakdown there own characteristics and subtleties of repair.

Immersion model with replaceable nozzles

Sometimes it is taken for damage to the blender bad job knife slipping during grinding or in the presence of large pieces of frayed weight. This is not a failure, but a common problem of low-power models, which by virtue of the motor capacity limit, can not cope with solid foods. If the unit before and coped with a solid fraction, it is necessary to examine it for faults.

stationary model

General arrangement of the stationary blender:

• bowl with a knife;
• the motor shaft;
• locking mechanism of the bowl;
• motor;
• and speed control switch;
• power cord.

Instruction in the table contains a description and how to solve common problems in stationary blender:

	leaking bowl Problem: Units stationary bowl can leak at the point of attachment to the body. Decision: repair the bowl is a simple replacement of the gasket.
	Broken latch for attaching the cup Unfortunately, the item can not be repaired and will either have to find a replacement (which is not always possible), or to buy a new device.

manual models

portable blender device is somewhat different: the simplest model is very compact and consist of:

• handle to the motor;
• a gearshift and the power button;
• legs (elongated nozzle with a "skirt" and a knife);
• power cord.

The kit may be supplemented chashoy-mills, beater liquid products, pureeing and t. D.

Anyway, for the correct operation of the immersion blender often should eliminate such problems:

	Faulty power cord Cord - "weak" place portable models as there are much more likely to damage it by random abrupt movement, transferring a heavy object, etc... disassemble handle with the motor; check status of inbound contacts, we estimate the internal components in the presence of breakage; we connect the new cable to defective contacts, and check the performance.
	Damage to the speed controller If the blender is not running but produces a characteristic humming noise or does not change the speed, it is possible that the matter is in the controller: assort housing; using a multimeter "prozvanivatsya" item; desoldering item, if the problem has been to detect and handle every situation; pay attention to the control contacts - they should be closed.

Fix the blender with your hands in most cases means the removal of the body. Most brand models provide for this, but there are not folding model. In the latter case, disconnect the members of the body should very carefully, and to use adhesives when reassembling.

Common problems

Faults in the table below are typical for any kind of blender:

Picture	Description
	Knife Knife in the nozzle or bowl-shredder can grind chips worse, tear them or jam during operation. Repair shredder in this case is to be replaced, because the knife can not be sharpened. How to disassemble the grinder blender: click on the finger of the knife axis; rotating motion to pull it up. The most removable bowls knives, and if not, then the problem will solve a replacement bowl. If the knife is blunt at the foot of the immersion blender, how to repair the nozzle? In this case, you can either buy a new one, or disassemble the nozzle by replacing only one knife.
	Fuse If the machine stopped working, probably a problem in the fuse: assort housing; extract the fuse; replaced by a new (new price details are very small).
	Malfunction in dvigaetele If blender is not turning, although it buzzes and clearly showing signs of life, it may be a fault in the winding engine. Yourself is not recommended to repair. Try to buy a new engine that would otherwise have to go to the store for a new blender.
	Short circuit When, seemingly unable to determine the problem, change the item, but it turned out that the next time you turn on the network device is turned on again, then surely this is a short-circuit. In this case, the home has not corrected the problem. Repair of such damage can not be.
