How to Fix Most Food Blenders

You bought a new blender,and it has been reliable for the most part.Then suddenly something gives.There's no smoke or worrying indicator,but the blender is no longer working.

Usually when this happens,it's an indicator of a blown fuse in the blender.They are put there to prevent damage to the main electronic components inside.Luckily these fuses are cheap and fairly easy to replace.

To replace the fuse and fix the issue. You may need this.
1.Soldering Iron (They are affordable), and some general soldering knowledge,some YouTube videos may help,

2.soldering lead (very affordable).Where I bought mine sold it by the yard.

What To Do.

1.Open up the blender and look for electronics around the level controlling knobs.Most fuses are located there. If it helps,take pictures or videos whiles you are dismantling the blender,so you remember how to put it back.
Below is my fuse,and most likely how most of these fuses look like. If it doesn't look like this,look up your blender model online to confirm the fuse it uses.

2.Most likely the fuse will be soldered unto the board.Use your soldering iron to heat and remove the fuse from all it's connections.Note the position of all the connections.In my case,you can see the fuses start from a point ,and joins a white wire then eventually ends with the red wire.Note yours.


3.Get the replacement fuse and fix it in the same place as the old one.Solder it in place using the lead,and make sure it's firmly in place.That's it.

This tutorial is fairly simplistic and makes way too many assumptions.Some being that you are using the same blender model as mine or that you have basic soldering knowledge. You can probably find better tutorials online.I just wanted to share the little I know.


Below are some pictures of different blender internals and how their fuses look like.
