Dear Julmo,
please get it to any authorised service centre so that they can fix it accordingly, see if the motor is gone the maybe they just replaced it ,if you wanna try to fix it then it may cause more complicated.

takecare

If you saw smoke, likely the motor may be burnt. A bit late!

if you can tear apart look inside bottom screws look at motor if brushes did not just smoke and or check if does have power to motor when on be careful ...8-10 times most it died because of too much heat of the fuse link size of a asprin pill when it gets up to , thet call it a thermal fuse one over heated it blows and you throw away i dont i fix.SF139E-142 Degree Thermal Cutoff Fuse 110-250V Instant .look up google to see pic .electronics store sell them or online i would mention radio shack but all on line mow a days ..good luck >^.^<

The Start capacitor in the motor is faulty or the centrifugal switch is worn out [email protected]

Sounds like the belt that drives the blades broke. You will need to bring it back to the store in which you bought it from if it is still under warranty. Otherwise, get on the Breville website, register your product, and then find out about the warranty and returns.

There may be an overload switch somewhere on the unit, it will just be a small button projecting from the underside most probably or in a small hole. If there is, just depress it. If the unit actually burned out yu would have seen smoke and smelled it.

The Jack Lalane website claims it has a lifetime engine warranty. Visit to find out.

sounds like the start of a horror movie. lol

ok dark? and no cracks or leakage from the juice container? hmm

dark .... ...its gotta be juice leaking down and mixing with the dark grease they use on the bearings.. but this is a wild guess. and i cant think of anything else unless a 100 roaches live inside the motor housing.
get it fixed when it starts to whine or smoke.

Hi I had the same problem yesterday and emailed Champion Juicer about the problem here's their reply below, his suggestion worked. Hello Duane, Your machine is equipped with a magnetic start system which will only allow the machine to start when you have the screenholder all the way in place just as you would have it to start juicing. If you do not have any parts on the machine it will not start. Please assemble it again and give it a try. If it still wont start call me at 209-369-2154 for further assistance. Thank you Carl
