 INFORMATION SHEET 1

Food Blender

What is a blender?
A food blender is…

• a motorized small appliance that blends,

chops, and grates food.
• a handy electrical gadget that makes
chopping and mixing food easier.
• a liquidizer or kitchen appliance used to
mix ingredients or puree food.
• a stationary, upright electrical device, which
is to be distinguished from a hand-powered
or electric mixer that may be used for
similar purposes.

How a blender operates?

A blade inside a jar is connected to a motor shaft inside the unit. The
blade speed is controlled by varying electric current to the motor using one or
more switches. The motor is operated by supplying electric current to the motor.
Applications and uses of a blender

Blenders are used both in home and commercial kitchens for various purposes:

• to crush ice in drinks

• to make smooth purées of semi-solid ingredients, such as cooked
vegetables and meat
• to reduce small solids such as spices and seeds to powder or nut
butters
• to blend mixtures of powders, granules, and/or liquids
thoroughly
• to help dissolve solid into liquid
▪ Parts of a blender
• Blending container (jar)-made of glass, plastic, or stainless steel, and often has
graduated markings for approximate measuring purposes.
• At the top of the container is a lid to prevent ingredients from escaping during
operation.
• At the bottom is a blade assembly, sometimes removable for cleaning purposes. In
cases where the blades are removable, the container should have an o-ring between the
body of the container and the base to seal the container and prevent the contents from
leaking.
• The container rests upon a base that contains a motor for turning the blade assembly
and has controls on its surface. Most modern blenders offer a number of possible
speeds.
• Selector switch is used to control the speed of the motor. It comes in different speed.
• The power train of a blender (motor). A fan-cooled electric motor is secured into
the housing by way of vibration dampeners, and a small output shaft penetrates the
upper housing and meshes with the blade assembly

Proper Handling of a Blender

How to use a blender?

Before using any other accessory, make sure that the power unit is on a suitable work
surface and switched to off. Put the protective cover over the drive that you will not be using.

1. Before using the blender for the first time wash the blender bowl,
cover, funnel and blade assembly and gasket in warm soapy water.
After washing, rinse well and dry before using. Your blender is now
ready for use.
2. To assemble the blender, first press the gasket into the recess in the
blade assembly base.
3. Then insert the blade assembly into the blender bowl from below and,
using the lid as a wrench, tighten the blade assembly into place. The
blade assembly must be tightened firmly to the bowl/jar to prevent
leakage.
4. Place the blender on the high-speed (upper) drive and turn to the left
(counter-clockwise) to lock the blender in place.

Troubleshooting Procedure of a Blender

PROCEDURE:
1. Prepare all the tools and materials needed.
2. Unplug the blender and remove the jar. Undo the screw securing the
base plate. Separate the base plate and attached motor collar from
the base housing.
3. Remove the switch housing; remove the decorative facing to get at
the top screws. Remove the lower screws
from inside the blender base.
4. Hold the fan to keep the motor shaft from
turning as you unscrew the drive stud.
Remove the shield and any washers.
Unscrew the fan nut to remove the fan.
5. Disengage the strain-relief fitting from
the housing. Remove the wire connector
joining the power cord and the lead to the
brush housing.
Trouble shooting
6. Label and disconnect the lead wires from the switch block. Remove
the motor mounting bolts and lift out the motor if necessary.
7. To free brushes, remove the leads attached to the brush housing.
Use a screw driver to press lead terminal through the slot.
8. Conduct the following:
• Servicing the Multi-speed Switch: It's easy to
see why the multispeed switch is a critical
component to the operation of your food blender.
Because of its high use and complexity, it is a
frequent culprit when things go wrong.
 Multi-speed switch

• Servicing a fuse. Fortunately, most blenders include an in-line fuse that protects the motor
from overload. If excessive current is sent to the motor, the fuse will blow.
• Motor servicing is easy to test. Because there is a circuit
running from the appliance cord, through the multispeed
controls, to the motor, and back to the cord, an ohmmeter
(part of your multitester) can test the circuit.
• Tightening the Drive Stud: If the motor operates well, but
the blade in the blender jar doesn't turn as it should, the
problem may be the drive stud. The most frequent cause is
a loose drive stud.

• Service the Blade Assembly: The blender's blade assembly is simple in function. It is rotated
by the drive stud, which blends or chops food within the jar. The most common problem is
caused by the jar leaking liquids. The solution is to tighten the base. If this doesn't solve the
problem, inspect and, if necessary, replace the gasket...

Procedure in Maintaining and Repairing a Blender

▪ Servicing the Multispeed Switch:

Step 1: Remove the blender base.

Step 2: Attached the multi-speed switch is to the base with clips or screws accessed from
underneath the base's faceplate or from inside the base. Visually inspect the switch
before removing it; in many cases, the problem is a loose terminal. Otherwise, a
blackened terminal or wire may identify where the problem has occurred.

Step 3: Check the multispeed switch with a continuity tester or multitester.

Step 4: Because of its exposed location in front of the blender, the switch is susceptible to
damage from liquids. Use a can of compressed air or an electrical contact cleaner to
clean the switch.

(Note: Before testing the switch, make sure to remove it from the blender)

▪ Servicing a fuse

Step 1: Remove the blender base and locate the fuse in the wire from the multispeed switch to the
motor.

Step 2: Disconnect the wire and use a continuity tester or multitester to check the fuse. If the
circuit is open, the fuse is blown.

Step 3: Replace the faulty in-line fuse with one of identical rating.

▪ Servicing the Motor

Step 1: Place a probe on each cord prong.

Step 2: Select a speed-control button or turn the speed controller slightly, then read the resistance
on the meter.

Step 3: Next, rotate the drive stud clockwise by turning it once. If the resistance reading (in ohms)
changes, the motor needs service. Take it to an appliance-repair service or replace the
appliance with a good one depending on cost.
▪ Tightening the Drive Stud

Step 1: Remove the base and turn the blender over. The other end of the drive shaft will protrude
from the bottom side of the motor.

Step 2: Grip the drive shaft with a wrench or pliers, and then turn the blender on its side to attach
a wrench to the drive stud.

Step 3: Hold the drive shaft steady as you turn the drive stud clockwise.

The other cause of drive stud problems is the rounding of its corners, requiring a new
drive stud. To replace a worn drive stud, reverse the instructions for tightening a drive
stud, install the new part, and tighten it.

▪ Service the Blade Assembly

The blender's blade assembly is simple in function. It is rotated by the drive stud, which
blends or chops food within the jar. The most common problem is caused by the jar
leaking liquids. The solution is to tighten the base. If this doesn't solve the problem,
inspect and, if necessary, replace the gasket.
