Why won't my Ninja Blender motor start?

  There are several reasons why your Ninja Blender motor might not be starting. First, ensure the container is securely locked on the motor base and the lid is correctly positioned with aligned arrows. Also, verify that the appliance is turned 'On' by pressing the power button and that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet. Check the fuse or circuit breaker. If the unit has overloaded or overheated, unplug it and wait approximately 15 minutes before using it again. Make sure the unit is not overloaded.

What to do if my Ninja BL681A motor base won’t stick to the counter?

  Thomas NicholsAug 20, 2025
  If your Ninja Blender's motor base isn't sticking to the counter, make sure both the surface and the suction feet are wiped clean. Note that the suction feet will only adhere to smooth surfaces and will not stick to wood, tile, or non-polished finishes. Do not attempt to use the appliance when the motor base is stuck to an insecure surface, such as a cutting board or platter.

  Unevenly chopped food in your Ninja Blender can occur if you're processing too much food at once or if the pieces aren't uniformly sized. Try processing smaller amounts per batch.

  Your Ninja Blender can detect which jar is on the base. An “Err” message may appear if you are trying to use a program that is not designed for the jar you have installed. The programs will light up indicating which programs are available for each jar.

  If your Ninja Blender is chopping food too finely or making it too watery, it's likely being over-processed. Try using the AUTO-iQ® Pulse button for more controlled processing.

How to make snow from ice in Ninja Blender?
- K
  Kimberly GallagherSep 8, 2025
  To achieve a snow-like consistency from solid ice in your Ninja Blender, avoid using ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Use ice straight from the freezer. Start with a few pulses and then switch to a continuous blending cycle.
