Does this blender have a circuit breaker in case of the motor overheating?

I have left mine running for a while on high and it shut off. I think there is an overheating sensor or maybe even a timer of some sort. The two pre-programmed settings have a set cycle and shut the blender off automatically.

I'm not sure, but it has never overheated and it's the best, most powerful blender I have ever used (under $500.00)

I don't think so. the manual doesn't say anything about a circuit breaker, but it is a great machine, I use it everyday. And really you should never leave a blender run for a long time anyways. The two preset buttons on the machine do run and stop the blender after a short period of time. The other button high, low, etc will run until you hit the stop button. I have had the machine a few months now and I love, I make my own smoothies everyday.

Hi Zelda, interesting question. I do not believe the blender has any circuit breaker or sensor to stop the motor from overheating. However, if you have the GFI newer eletrical outlets and if there is too much electrical current or overload, power would be cut and the blender would shut off.

Video Reviews of this blender advise that you may require a 20A breaker, or commercial kitchen in order to use the blender. (not this blender, but the Waring 1200xtx which is pretty much the same thing)

If you mean does it start up again if you blow a circuit breaker, the answer is yes. According to the manual if it overheats and the safety shut off shuts her down it states you need a service center or probably just an electrician to reset the overheat sensor as its located inside the unit. Great heater, though. I go out at night at 11p and set it on 1 1/2bon low and I come home at 7am and my house is 62 degrees while its like 37 outside. I'll update after I get my next electric bill since buying and using the units

No see my previous answer. Also the other answer "Get a variable potentiometer". If you use that on my motor it will burn up and it will not be warranty. People are answering questions that do not understand how a single phase motor works that has an internal start switch.

I would tell you to avoid this blender, because the electric motor is designed to burn right after waranty, but you already bought it. It does not come with this to my knowledge. For anybody else reading this post, please do not buy this cr**.

Wish I could help but have no clue. It sounds "electrical", possibly a loose wire or a short. Do you know someone (like a teenager) who has some technical skills and a few test devices? You could call a B&D service center and see if they would do anything despite the warranty time limit or just to get an idea of the cost of repairs. As a last resort, take the motor housing apart (carefully and with your procedural memory engaged) and check for clues (wires, connections, burn marks, fuse). Hopefully you will find something (and be able to reverse the taking-apart procedure). If not, well, it could be a lost cause. At least, if it were me, it would be. Let us know how it turns out.

Sorry, I don't remember. I do know I cannot run another heater in the room at the same time or it would shut off the circuit breaker.

Don't know. Returned because motor got hot and shut processor off after trying to process food, no more than one minute. This happened 3 times and we returned it.

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

I think it has to do something with the unit getting too hot and damaging the motor, but I never experienced the shutdown.

If you mean the large clear board then the upgrade kit does not come with one of those. But, if you mean one of the circuit that has a number on it like the motor or the lamp then it would limit you to do the circuit projects that didn't require a fan or motor. I guess I would need to know exactly what piece broke. Because there are quite a few clear pieces in the kit.

I have not burned out any fuses, so I haven't had to do any troubleshooting. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. The machine has worked very well for me.

Don't know only used once. The second time used it the blender starting smoking from the motor. Returned it to Amazon

This motor has a thermal cutoff switch if safety temperature is exceeded. Not sure how long and under what conditions you are running the motor?

Hi Anna. No. I haven't had any problems with it overheating, plus, I make a green smoothie every day with frozen fruit. I really love it. I've had the blender for a couple months now.

Not really. there was just a little operating booklet. However, i contacted my vendor through Amazon about something and they were very helpful. Have you emptied the glass container on the side? If full, the motor will be bogged down.

Yes it does. The thermal overload temp for the motor is 105C / 221F. The thermal overload switch is integral to the motor windings, there is no manual reset and will reset itself after the temperature drops.
