contact the dealer to order the parts you want by partsnumber ref.

Put the pitcher in the freezer for an hour, boil water in a pan bigger than the base of the pitcher, take the pitcher out of the freezer and stick just the base in the hot water up to the top edge of the base.. Remove it after about 15 seconds and have someone with gloves on screw the base off the pitcher

There are 5 pins on the socket in the base. on the back of that
socket there is a black strap that holds the wires in. it snaps off
and the wires drop out. you need two small washers remove the two screws push the wires replace the strap now put the two small washers the screws and replace job done

Good evening
it is difficult to take the bottom things from each other. The blenders I know are screwed to each other,
all the best

Hi I take it that the bottom was not screwed tight when the milk spilled. Try unscrewing the bottom, take it apart and clean it in warm water and mild washing liquid . Put it together again and screw tightly. And off it should go.

SOak them in hot water with some dawn soap maybe that might do the trick.

The gasket goes between the plate to which the cutter is mounted and the base of the jar. i.e., atop the cutter and contacting the base of the jar.

There are two phillip head screws holding the blender end together where it came apart. They are hidden under plugs on either side of the imprinted information. Simply drill a hole in each plug and remove them by putting something in the hole (small screwdriver) and pulling them out. Loosen the screws, enough to pull the body apart far enough to insert the blender end back in. Make sure you line up the drive pieces and the logo goes on the side with the switch.Tighten the screws back up and your good to go. I left the plugs out, they don,t serve any purpose.

Remove the bottom clean the unit fully. Add the bottom blad assebly and this will fix your problem. The "sooty" is plastic shavings. Take note that the fitting were the "jar" connects to the motor that this is not wearing away. The unit i have broke and i am unable to find a replacement blade assembly.
