How to Easily Remove the Blender Blade and Gasket

Are you struggling to remove the blender blade from your appliance? Thomas Fox demonstrates a simple and effective method for detaching the blade and gasket, making maintenance a breeze.

Removing the Blade

To begin, locate the bottom plate, also known as the retaining nut, attached to the blender. Follow these steps to remove the blade effortlessly:

For Blendtec blenders or models with a similar setup, rotate the bottom plate counterclockwise.
Use the base of the blender as leverage while turning the plate.
Once the plate is loose, flip the blender over to prevent the blade from falling onto your countertop.

Handling the Components

Upon removing the blade, ensure you handle the gasket with care:

If the gasket falls out, gently stretch it before reinserting.
Note the ribs on the gasket; position them facing upwards during reassembly for a secure fit.

Reassembly

After cleaning or inspecting the blade, carefully reassemble the parts:

Insert the gasket back onto the blade, aligning the ribs correctly.
Secure the blade by tightening the bottom plate. Ensure it is firm to prevent any issues during blending.

Final Checks

Before proceeding, make sure all components are properly secured:

Confirm the blade is tightly fitted to avoid any mishaps during operation.
Reattach the lid cap securely, aligning the knob with the corresponding hole for a snug fit.

By following these steps, you can easily maintain your blender and ensure optimal performance for your blending needs. Happy blending!
