Ninja blenders are among the most effective juicing devices in the market today. However, it’s not impossible to see a person getting their ingredients together, ready to make a refreshing drink, only to find their blender isn’t turning on.
NOTE: Thermal switch tasked with preventing the unit from overheating might flip, causing the blender to warm up and stop working. In such a scenario, users are advised to unplug the blender and wait for approximately 15 minutes before attempting to turn the unit on.
More causes of the infuriating issue of a Ninja blender that won’t turn on are discussed below, coupled with a guide on how to solve them.
Wrong Assembly
Although Ninja blenders come with a set of instruction indicating the correct order of assembling the components, sometimes people don’t get it right. As such, after checking to ensure that power isn’t the issue when the blender won’t turn on, users should check to see whether they’ve assembled the components in the right order.
For instance,
Incorrectly Placed Components
In addition to assembling the components in the right order, users need to ensure that they are tight and in the right position.
For instance,
The pitcher needs to be fitted tightly at the base of the blender—it should fit snugly in all the four positions. If the pitcher feels hard to rotate, then it isn’t properly locked. To correct this issue, users should ensure that the front of the pitcher is directly facing them with the handle on the front but towards the right-hand side.
The Lid isn’t Tightly Locked
In another common case, a Ninja blender fails to operate when the lid isn’t locked properly. This feature is designed to avoid spills that might otherwise occur when the blades begin to rotate. The main sign of an improperly closed lid is the continuous flash of the power button (Flashing LED).
To solve this problem: lock the lid into position, users should rotate the handle when pressing it downwards. If the lid is properly closed, but the light keeps flashing, then the white arrows aren’t aligned properly.
Power Source
If the power light on the blender isn’t on, then there’s a problem with the electrical cord or source. For a brand new blender, the problem is most likely attributable to the power source. This issue can be tested by unplugging the blender and plugging other appliance on the very same outlet. If the second appliance isn’t working, users should reset their circuit breaker. However, if the breaker is in the right position, they should have the outlet inspected and repaired by a professional electrician. They may also try the blender on a different power outlet. On the other hand, a broken power cord should be replaced by an expert specializing in Ninja blender repair services.
Ninja blenders will often come in handy when looking to make a consistent, delicious smoothie. To get them to start, however, users ought to assemble them in the correct order as recommended by the manufacturer. The main culprits of a malfunctioning Ninja blender that won’t turn on include defective power source or supply cord and improperly locked lid. If the above problems are corrected, but the device still won’t start, users may use the contact information on the manual to consult with a Ninja specialist.
My ninja blender randomly stopped working. Light is on, but when I push the button, I hear a “click”, but the motor doesn’t start. Would this be a dead motor, or something else I can try to fix?
Thanks!
