You should note that small appliances like a blender does not deserve taking to a repair shop to get fixed when they develop faults. Also before you even consider buying a new kitchen blender, there are a number of easy and quick fix repairs that you can undertake yourself. You should therefore take the time to check and see if you can get the blender working again. Let us take a closer look at some of the major problems that could emerge on your blender.

One of the problems you may have with your kitchen blender is with the buttons or the control panel. There are times that the button would get stuck and this may be due to the drinks or food getting down to the button area so that they jam up. Indeed even if you are caring about the way to put the items in, the particles would still accumulate. There are a number of the blenders that would allow you to remove the control panel cover so that this could be cleaned. Some would also let you take out the screws on the bottom part of the unit and then pull out the housing section in order to reach the buttons easily.

Another problem too may be that of faulty blades. This is a very common problem and here the engine would begin to run but the blades would turn too slowly. When this takes place, it means that something is clogging the blade assembly section. You would then have to take the assembly apart and clean everything very well with the use of a scrub brush. Moreover when you soak everything for some few hours in detergent, it would go a long way to dissolve any of the food particles that have built up over time. Your kitchen blender would surely be in good shape always. If these do not work, you would then have to replace the entire assembly which could also be bough online.

One of the most common of problems with your kitchen blender would be leaks. With this even the most top rated of blenders has them. This is because the rubber gasket begins to wear out. You would have to unscrew the blade housing from the blender jar and then pull out the rubber o-ring. This could be replaced and just costs some few dollars.
