IMPORTANT NOTES!
The automatic overload protection shuts the motor off when the resettable circuit
breaker pops out. It does so to protect the motor from overheating. If the motor shuts
off, it could be due to:
• The recipe being too thick
• The recipe having too many ingredients in it.
• The recipe was being processed too long at too low a speed
Thermal Protector: The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it
from overheating. To restart, wait for the motor to cool down with the power off (up
to 45 minutes). Cooling may be quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot.
(Unplug first.) To speed up the process, try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed
at the bottom of the base. If the motor seems to be overheating but the thermal overload
protector has not turned the machine off, stop the machine and remove the container
from the base. Set the dial to Variable 10 for the Variable-Speed machine or press the
pulse switch for the Programmable machine. Turn the machine on and let the machine
run for 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.
If both protection devices are activated, follow the instructions for resetting the circuit
breaker, and then cool the motor according to the instructions for the thermal protector.
Possible Actions:
a. Try plugging the machine into a new
outlet.
b. Reset the machine to its original factory
settings. (Programmable model only)
c. The machine may stop working if it is
overloaded on low speed. To cool the
motor, reset by turning off the power for
up to 45 minutes.
d. Call Vitamix Customer Services.
