7.3 NOISE LEVEL CHANGES
If the blender noise level has increased from original levels, determine whether the
sound is coming from the blender motor or jar�
• Blender Motor: Remove the pitcher and run blender at highest speed�
• Listen to how the motor sounds� If it is excessively noisy, contact your
Blendtec service center for evaluation�
• Jar: After checking the motor, place the jar back on the motor� Run the motor
for a few seconds using the Pulse button� (If you have more than one jar, test
a different jar to determine whether the sound is different�) If a jar is exces-
sively noisy, or if the blade assembly seems loose or sounds “gravelly” when
turned by hand, contact your Blendtec service center�
7.4 BLENDED TEXTURE UNSATISFACTORY
If the blended texture of product is lumpy or uneven, do the following:
• Ensure the mixture is not cavitating during the cycle� Cavitation is a condition
in which an air pocket forms within the drink mix because the mix is too cold
or too solid� The blender blade then spins freely in this cavity� This problem
can be corrected by increasing the mix temperature by either reducing
ice, increasing liquid and/or ensuring that the frozen ingredients used in the
recipe are never colder than 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 degrees Celsius)�
• If the drink is mixing well but has not had enough time for complete blend-
ing, increase cycle time� Try a longer cycle or touch and hold the “Pulse”
button for the required extra blending time�
• TRIED EVERYTHING? If none of the preceding suggestions work, contact
your Blendtec service agent for further assistance�
