the blender is not secure to the base if the light is blinking. You think it is, but if you twist it on more tightly, it'll lock into place, then it'll work.

If the light is blinking then the blender is not secure. I would detach and try again. I wish I could help more but mine burned out after 2 months of use. The light would come on but the motor wouldn't start. Best of luck.

If you just bought it, return it and get a refund. This unit is a substandard unit and breaks, in many cases, within 60 days. The warranty is only for 30 days. This item is a piece of junk. I got one from Walmart, after mine broke in 50 days (the motor went out), for half the price and it is twice as sturdy (made by Oster).

Unfortunately it's crap mine burned out less then 2 months and I have not gotten a respond from the seller yet.

I have found that the system works when my decanter or processor has its handle facing the front of the base and is secured. When I did that, everything worked. The smoothie I was attempting to make got clogged in the blender but mixed, excellently with the processor!

Try putting the container on top the other way around, as in handle on the right side.

I don't know about that, but I can say it stopped working correctly while preparing my smoothy with ice and frozen fruit just recently! I broke down and purchased a ninja!

when you turn the jar over there are a couple of red plastic pieces that you have to press as you turn the base counter clockwise. I don't know if you read my feedback on this blender but I do no recommend it at all. The motor burnt out after only 6 mos. & Krups told me that I would have to ship the blender to So. Carolina for them to check it to see if it could be repaired or not. They said it could take 4 to 6 weeks before I would get it back. We returned it to the seller and they gave us full credit towards a new Breville Blender, which my wife loves...

i went on line and just typed in magic bullet power base but after getting 2 of them and having them break down i just bought another kind that has a switch that has a off and on button not the kind that you have to push the glass piece down to have it work . hope that helps ck

I have had 2 of these. I had purchased one for me and one for a gift. The first one the motor burned up pretty quickly blending frozen fruit in a smoothie so I decided not to gift the other one. I still blend frozen fruit, but I use small pieces, as much liquid as possible, and stop 2 or 3 times to let it rest when the motor seems to be struggling. If you cut the veggies small, use liquid to reduce strain on the motor and are willing to let the motor rest midway, you might be able to baby it into working for a while. I won't buy another one.

My blender looks a little different. Maybe it creates a vacuum seal and you just need to use something to break the seal. I've not had that problem.

Patricia; I'm sorry not to be able to give you any more information about this part. I bought mine and did the repair quite some time ago...long enough that now I don't even have that blender anymore. I will tell you as I took my blender apart and discovered how cheaply/poorly it was made I felt the effort and money I put into resurrecting it was wasted. I won't buy any Cuisinart appliances anymore, the construction is shoddy and parts are much too expensive. You'll probably save money and time simply tossing your old blender and buying a new quality unit. Your other option would be to find a similar unit to yours at a tag sale or on Craigslist. You will probably pay less for the entire working blender, than just this part...and you'll need it as a source of other parts as it continues to deteriorate. Good luck.

i fixed mine and it works like it did before no issues. The only problem is that you have to break the blender apart to fix it.

What's the rubber issue? I have owned my blender for a number of months, use it almost daily and have no issues. I'm extremely happy.

Make sure battery is charged. Slide bar on top to the left. If that does not start it, it is likely gone. Ours is several years old and still working.

Fill it & push the start button. Happened this am. Occasionally it starts back w/o hitting start!

Mine was a little slow to start accepting commands at the beginning, but I just worked with it awhile and it started working. All I can say is keep trying, and try unplugging and plugging the power cord for the main unit also. If that doesn't work the only option is to return it for another one. Does the lights come on in the viewing window when plugged in, you should get something.

I am sorry that I cannot help you on this one. We have used ours about every day for 9 months without a hitch. It sounds like the drive gear has come unhitched from the motor. Did you ever try to run it while something was jamming the cutter/blender? Sorry I cannot help more.

Try a fresh set of batteries. Failing that, press the reset button. ...failing that, contact Hasbro. We had a similar issue with a 2012 model, and Hasbro replaced it for us.Wish I could be more help.
