No I would contact Vitamix and they are good for telling what needs to be done. Sounds like the seal. Sorry

Make sure the drive socket is installed properly. But it sounds like you need a new blade assembly. Before you buy a new one, make sure it"s attached tightly to the plastic container.

The drive socket kit fits on the motor, not the blender container, where I assume the leak occurs. I would consider replacing the blade assembly, and buying the plastic wrench to do so. Some people have used other tools; I used the wrench. The factory might give you further information, but likes to sell a whole new container.

The problem is with your container, not the motor base; however, if your Vitamix is still under warranty, this repair would be covered. Call Vitamix customer service.

I would recommend soaking the lid in vinegar for awhile, and i have even cleaned the float valve (? - circular stop valve) w/ q-tips -- clean that area out really well. I would also recommend highly to use coffee filters vs. the reuable gold filter. Once i cleaned and used disposible filters -- it stopped the leaking. Good luck to you~!

Sorry to hear about the leak! It could be caused by dirty debris wrapped around the brushes or underneath the unit. Try cleaning the bottom and if you are still having issue please contact us so we can help. http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I called Blendtec & they asked to listen to the motor, serial numbers, etc....after about 15 mins. they agreed to send me a new jar. They advised me I should not hold down the jar while the blender is in use as this will put more pressure on the rubber seal. Be careful as I

I have never had this problem. It maybe a defective unit. This blender has worked flawlessly since I bought it 2 years ago.

Buy some new Dramm rubber gasket washers for the female end. This solved my leaking problem.

Hi Bonnie The motor should not have a loose sound. I would send back for a replacement. The blender is awesome I think you'll love it.

Sounds like you have either an old blender or a commercial blender. I would take the blender to an authorized dealer and see if they can match up to your needs. Our item is inexpensive but I don't want you to buy it if it does not work for you.

if it is leaking around joints, unscrew the parts and put plumbers tape around the groove part. Then reconnect to see if this stops the leak.ooves.

Probably contact the manufacturer. I've had mine for years and haven't had that problem, but if I did, that is what I would do.

Check to make sure the gasket is located on top of the cutting assembly. I have occasionally put it under the cutting assembly causing all the liquid to poor out.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

What part is leaking? Have you checked to be sure everything is set in and tightened ?

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.

When I overloaded or I didn't cut the fruit tiny, the bottom would leak. Check to make sure the rubber seal at the top is aligned in the threads. GOOD LUCK!

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.

It was an issue for me too. I tried putting the outside washer on the inside, but it still leaked....so I siliconed it to the top seems to be a fix
