to the person. champion juicer running hot. if your blade is dull it will run hot bcuz its harder to turn and gets clogged easy. look online for new or less used blade.
just take a dull butter knife or end of a spoon and gently pry it up in 3 spots or so as you go around. then when it is clean just pop it back on and push it into place ;-)
If you mean green leafy greens, the juicer is not really designed for them. A sharp blade will extract some juice from them, but I found a new blade seems to increase the vibration issue. Acme works best on carrots, apples, celery, etc.
Do not use WD40. Wear heavy leather work gloves. Lightly tap two flathead screwdrivers positioned opposite each other to initially pry the blade apart from the main body of the juicer. Alternate tapping on the screwdrivers until some of the shaft is exposed. Tilt the juicer towards the blade and drizzle olive oil on to the exposed shaft. Every few hours return juicer to stable upright position and use a hammer to lightly tap a screwdriver positioned at an angle that will not gouge the shaft. Rotate blade manually and tap in different positions. Keep juicer tilted towards blade in between tapping attempts to allow oil to penetrate shaft opening. Continue drizzling olive oil on shaft as it is exposed. Cutter may need replacement after this procedure. Use steel wool to thoroughly clean shaft. Soak Cutter blade in hot soapy water for two days.
Make sure the bottom of the feed chute is not damaged. If it,s chipped or scored, try filing it down level as best you can. Then with the juicer fully assembled, unlock the set screw on the center of the bottom and turn it clockwise until the chute contacts the blade, then back it off a half turn and lock it down. By the way a dull worn blade will produce less vibration. I'm assuming the lid is plastic.
I would say you are right. The blades are dull & or the balance of the motor has become lose or broken free. A broken blade can also through balance off.
