As stated earlier it could be the shaft needs lubing, remove the bottom part of the blender blade... the rubber thing that engages on the motor. I started with WD-40 and worked some lithium grease into it. Spins like new now.

    To add onto my answer.... you're better off buying a new base, the above works but not for long in my experience. My maintenance lasted a short time before it seized again. I picked up a base off of E-bay for $15. Count your fins on the bottom of your base, if you search "Ninja Extractor Base" it should turn up a bunch of choices.

SOURCE: blender blade not turning, rotating piece on base not connected

this is getting more and more common there is a part between the motor and the drive gear that snaps for no reason . its job is to snap if the blades jam as a "fuse" to save your house from a overheating ,jammed motor . the problem is there are no parts to buy to fix this . if its new take it back to where you bought it . otherwise shipping it 2 ways for repair to the factory is sometimes as much or more as a new blender ........ i would recomend you do one of two things : go to a goodwill or other type shop and get a nice vintage blender , it will last forever ! or move up to a vita mix . its costly but it will realy last you ... this new made in china junk is just bad news even when it has the kitchen aid name on it . its still the same junk ..... good luck........ Please if this answer helped , please rate this 3 or 4 stars . and keep me in the paid answer department . A 1 or 2 may knock me down into the unpaid ranks. Thanks Cactus Bob .

SOURCE: Blade won't turn in Cuisinart Duo Blender -- not motor

You have to unscrew and disassemble the blades - pretty easy, just take two rags and grab the blades with one (so you don't cut yourself), and then turn the rubber piece on the other side COUNTER CLOCKWISE, opposite of what you would do to loosen. the rod that runs in the middle that's connected to the blades on mine was all corroded, so I sprayed it down with WD-40, took my Dremel to it and smoothed out the corrosion, added some fresh grease ($2 tube goes a long way), washed the other parts with some Dawn and dried completely, reassembled and it runs much better! Not sure how long it will last, but I have a feeling that one time I ran the blender for a long time instead of pulsing, and the grease that came with it couldn't handle the heat from it turning so long. Anyway good luck!

SOURCE: Drive gear is slipping. Motor turns but the blade fails to turn

sounds like a shear pin either on the motor or the blade assembly. If you put the blender on low without the cannister on top touch the gear on top of the unit and see if the gear slips or stops. Use a pencil or something..Not your finger. If it stoops then the pin is broken at the motor. If not, it is broken at the blade unit.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: I have a bamix M200 hand blender & the shaft d...

After a period of time food residue will migrate up through the seal on the "foot" and lodge in the shaft. Once this is gummer up the motor will go but the shaft will not be able to rotate.

The machine will need to be disassembled and the shaft cleaned out. I recommend that you find your local Bamix Service Centre to do this as there are fragile parts in the stick mixer.

SOURCE: How do I fix or

Make sure the blade assembly is put together in the correct order. The blade needs to go through the gasket so that the order is pitcher glass, gasket, and metal blade base. Then the final plastic cap threaded onto the pitcher. If the gasket is not between the pitcher and the metal blade assembly, you will have leaks.
Also, check the gasket to be sure it's not cracked and that it doesn't have residue on it.
I hope this helps. If it does, please come back and rate my suggestion!

Ninja Blender starts at low power and then stops when increasing the power?

That sounds like it is overheating. Does the red power light flash before it powers itself off? Units like this with an enclosed motor often have an internal fan as part of the motor and vents on the base to drive out the heat.

Various other ideas here and a link to Ninja Kitchen Support

My Ninja Chef CT800 auto IQ Kitchen blender blade assembly is not turning freely. Does anyone know 1. How to fix it 2. If it involves removing the blade assembly, how to remove the blades Thank you!

The shaft has probably become tight in the bearings and the assembly will need to be dismantled for cleaning and possibly lubrication - I am unfamiliar with the Ninja but the average blender is a fairly basic mechanism and not many fasteners have to be removed before the parts needing attention either fall off or can be removed. It is a fairly intuitive process for the handy person.

You could perhaps start with the nut on the blade - there seems enough exposed thread to judge whether it is left or right hand thread and it shouldn't be particularly tight. Lots of cloth should be used when holding the blade...

Why won't my ninja blender turn on? The red light is blinking, but power is connected and lid is secure.

try rotating the container part 1/4 of a turn to line up slots and press down . then if it does not blend turn another 1/4 turn to line up slots and press down pushing container into base motor unit .
container and screw on blade lid is put in upside down and the plastic posts have to match the base unit to turn on the blender when you press down on container into base unit.

I own and use a ninja blender !.

Ninja blender motor part is wore out

-I don't think they carry any replacement parts for Ninja Blender.
-Possibly not the spline plastic.
-Inside on top of the motor there is a planetary gear there. Possibly worn out or lose screws as well that not hold it in place to mesh together.
-But before you can reach to these parts you have to take the bottom cover off, remove the plastic spindle. IT's very tight.

Good luck

Blades on ninja blender won't spin, but motor seems to be working.

I don't have one, but inspect the shaft, it looks like there is a key on the shaft, then inspect the inside of the blade where it goes on top of the shaft, see if it looks like the shaft has spun out the blade and this is why it's not spinning.

Remove the blade and the container, then turn on and see if the shaft is spinning, it should be most are a direct drive.

So now if the shaft is spinning, that most likely means that the blade hole is broke where it sets on top of the shaft.

Look closely at the inside of the blade, you should see some type of damage like the groves are worn, I hate to see you buy one and it was the shaft that wore, but usually the blade will go first.

My ninja blender won't start

Same thing happened to me and I ONLY used the thing 2xs (I was about to go H.A.M aka hard as a muthaF'er considering the price) then I tried the smaller cup size and it worked then went back to the larger pitcher and tried again. You have to ensure you have all the lock spots aligned and the top of the pitcher down securely. It worked after that...I also smelled like I was burning rubber at first but it works now...
