Nutri Ninja | How to repair a leaky, wobbly, loose Nutri Ninja blender blade | Home hacks

[@littlewren2353]

Waited a long time for a Nutri Ninja blade breakdown. I could never figure out how to remove that plastic locking washer until now! One thing to note, when you removed the second bearing and said the little black washers fell out too. One of the washers is actually just part of the broken bearing (the thin rubber one). The thick hard plastic one is the only one you need. Keep it safe as I imagine it is very difficult to replace. It is ever so slightly cone shaped to give it a gradual tight fit. Many thanks for your video, I have just ordered new bearings :)

[@knifesedge4061]

Thanks so much. That’s a beautiful piece of info. Like fitting a jigsaw puzzle with last few missing pieces. Very satisfying. Thanks

[@doctorsangeeth]

Yes. Thanks a lot for that info. Connected the dots very well.

Hi There, I opened mine today coz it failed. the thin rubber washer which you said is part of the washer, if we just install the hard plastic one and not the thin rubber one, will it not create a gap when we assemble everything back?

[@littlewren2353]

⁠@@rajatsingh87Hey. There should be no thin rubber washer. If you see my comment above, this thin rubber piece was not a washer, it was just part of the damaged bearing. You only need the hard plastic washer for the inside :)

[@TH-eb5ro]

Every blender needs to have a way to repair this part, it is often the first to go. Thank you for this.

[@agfa663]

The bearing PART NUMBER is: S698-2RS made of stainless steel. For this application, should only use stainless steel ones.

[@valioceans]

Very helpful. Replacing the washers should also solve a leakage problem.

[@JaydenLawson]

That's my issue. Thanks for the tip

[@Name-ps9fx]

Thank you! Very clear English, Instructions, and video (no arms in the way) I just changed (and cleaned) the gasket, and saw that another possible issue was the noisy/broken bearings. This video is definitely a keeper!

[@colincarter5266]

Update for the newer model of the Ninja Pro - BL450 series - it has a different style 6 fin drive. In this model they've added a metal locking pin to the plastic locking washer underneath that stops the washer from turning. I had to drill it out with a 5/64 drill bit - was a bit challenging getting it out. After removal of the pin, I found using a pair of channel lock pliers to turn the locking washer worked better for me. Used the channel lock pliers to install the washer also. Thanks for the video. Was a good start for me.

[@jsmith5770]

Is there a more detailed and slower video of reassembling the washers and bearings? I got the bearings out but,I can't get both of them back in. What am I doing wrong? Is there a safe grease or other lubricant I should be using? Did I reassemble it correctly? Very confused. 🤔

[@anthonyhart6405]

Correct. Same thing happened with me. For clarification's sake, the lock washer has to be turned clockwise with the Channel Lock and when I was re-assembling I used a small screw locked with Crazy glue instead of the pin.

[@anthonyhart6405]

@@jsmith5770 NO. Do not use any lubricant. Get a socket the size of the bearing outer race and press them in or tap them in with a hammer.

[@colincarter5266]

So one more comment on this... I ordered the appropriate size bearings from Amazon or something. The device worked for about 6 months before again becoming extremely loud, telling that the bearings were going bad. On my second attempt at repair, the bearings were so rusted into the housing that I couldn't get them out without breaking the plastic, so I'm ordering a new one. If you can, order high quality stainless steel bearings. Not sure where... too many cheap items out there.

[@thierry3610]

Excellent guide mate. I hadn't thought of the reverse thread last time I attempted to dismantle the blade. Made all the difference today!! Thank you!

[@cognito-in]

First of all. Thanks a ton for making this video. I have bought each and every thing needed for this fix. 1:50 I am having hard time removing plastic locking washer. I don’t think I can apply enough clockwise force on it. Any tips to make it easier?

[@Rajsta78]

Very helpful Info, unfortunately I had to order a new blade as the last bearing to remove was fused to the shaft hence I was not able to remove the blade from the base.

[@granjmy]

I would love to see you do a video on removing and cleaning the silicone ring that sits inside the lid. It's where the jar seats as the lid is screwed down. I pulled mine out today. I could not believe the black/brown crud on that silicone ring!. I used a dental pick to loosen it from the sides of the lid, after letting that area soak in hot water.

[@ezez6916]

Amazon has some rings that include a dental pic.

[@sheri023]

Amazon shows pictures of how someone put dental floss under the silicon ring and let a couple of inches hang over to pull out the ring after blending in their 900 watt model in the comments.

[@why3x]

Hi, thanks for your video, mine sounds smooth now, however it still leaks a bit of water when runs, does it means I have to replace the whole thing?

[@happymangocitadel]

This guide was super helpful, thank you for putting the time in on this.

[@dennyheitzer9457]

Well done video. I appreciate your detailed fix . Thank you, Denny

[@paulcalzolano9074]

Awesome! The bearings on mine did not snap right in. But you can tap them in using a socket that is the same size as the bearing diameter and tap them in gently with a hammer tapping around the socket

[@knifesedge4061]

Nice pace. Good DIY tips

[@mahendrapatel4232]

This fixed my problem!! fantastic accurate explanations and guidance

[@blaudp79]

I have an updated version in which the plastic seal (referred to as lock washer in the video) is held in place by a tiny brass spring pin. You have to pry the seal away from this pin in order to be able to rotate it clockwise to disengage. Pry it high enough so that it completely clears the brass pin while turning it clockwise with a small torx screwdriver.

[@doctorsangeeth]

Thank you very much for the valuable info 🙏

[@j.lashawn4278]

Hi Sir, What about all of those round items that you got of the blade fixture. You didn’t put them back in? Is that safe? Please let me w! Thanks for the view!

[@orangewitchchild222]

Great video, thank you! I also wanted to ask people about needing the us food safe lubication or grease? Any ideas?

[@granjmy]

Vaseline is a food safe lubricant. I saw a video of a man using olive oil, too.

[@behramcooper3691]

What bearings should I order? Chrome Steel or Hybrid Ceramic? And rubber seals? Please advise.

[@doctorsangeeth]

I got the high speed hybrid ceramic with rubber seals. Haven’t tried the chrome steel type.

[@agfa663]

The bearing PART NUMBER is: S698-2RS made of stainless steel. For this application, should only use stainless steel ones and NOT chrome steel.

[@AlejandroBelloRD]

Nice hack! Thank you so much! Sadly, I'm already going for the third blade lid, the second one (not OEM) got one rubber teeth peeled out, so it is impossible to repair. This hack will save me (and the environment) some bucks and one less plastic lid in a landfill.

[@waqas628]

Please advise how to put the shaft through the bearings my one is coming out every time I push the shaft through the bearing. Any idea would be great.

[@doctorsangeeth]

Hi Waqas, are you saying the shaft is too tight inside the bearing and so is pushing the bearing out? If so, a couple of drops of vegetable oil should help lube it through(provided the bearing is the right size)

[@tomcolfax863]

Just worked in some vegetable oil under the fins and now the frozen blade spins freely :)

[@rubenmejia4881]

Thank you for this video you helped me save mine!

[@BhanuSheetal]

Hi ,glad this video helps me ,my ninja twisti duo has same problem now,can you please let me know where did get the bearings in usa

[@mcduvall2000]

Do you know the size and material of those 2 seals?

[@penelopedwyer2568]

Hi there, the part that is broken on mine is the clear plastic wheel on the base. It broke away. I have a replacement, but cannot find out how to remove the center metal shaft of the old one. The new one has the metal shaft attached. Any thoughts would be helpful!

[@Jondbuch]

I can't figure out the plastic locking washer.... Am I supposed to stick something in the little hole with the metal clip in it?

[@doctorsangeeth]

Insert a small metallic object such as a tiny screwdriver and spin the washer as in the video to detach and later attach.

[@Jondbuch]

@@doctorsangeeth ha... I've rewatched that video so many times trying to figure out which hole you're referring to :)

[@DanielB123321]

My blender also has the metal clip on the plastic locking washer, it my be a different model than the one in the video as I also noticed the rubber disk on mine is a female fitting, while the one in the video is male. To remove the plastic lock washer I used a small flat head driver to bend the washer over the metal clip, as its there to prevent it from spinning. Once it's lifted over a bit on that side, stick the driver in the hole next to it and turn clockwise. It came off without much effort once the washer was clear of the metal clip.

[@joshuam6242]

​@@DanielB123321 The metal pin here seems antagonistic on Ninja's part. Earlier models are easier to dissassemble, and this blade should not be treated like a consumable when it can be repaired with just a couple of new bearings.

[@facelessvaper]

Yeah, amazing, it's those black washers I may have issue with, UK "hardware" stores aren't very good for small items.

[@Luizgraton]

Hello! Very nice video! I just cant remove the second bearing

[@doctorsangeeth]

Could you try using a drop of vegetable oil and leave it for a few hours and try again?

[@Luizgraton]

@@doctorsangeeth i'll do it! Let's see! Thanks!

[@Luizgraton]

@@doctorsangeeth it didn't work. After trying many times to remove the stucked inner ballbearing with a hammer and a screwdriver I finally had the idea of putting a screw that had a head bigger then the inner ballbearing's hole and only then using the hammer and srewdriver again.

[@Luizgraton]

@@doctorsangeeth the problem is that I think I might have damaged the inner plastic black washer using the screwdriver. Would you have the specifications to buy a new one?

[@kerrym8323]

I have the Ninja Ultimate with the the blender and smoothie maker. The blender works fine, but for a reason I don't understand, the smoothie base (gear) no longer sits down deep enough into the blender base to lock the teeth to make it work. Befuddled. Any ideas for me? K

[@guest21984]

Great video. Do you happen to know how to disassemble the Ninja coffee and spice grinder attachment 'XSKBGAUK'? There are 3 screws on the base but cannot find a way to unscrew near the blade. I need to try and make the drive mechanism sit higher (nearer to blade underside) so the gearing fits on a BN800UK base. It currently works, but sometimes vibrates off the gearing (gears just need to be closer together)

[@ayly555]

Hi I want to open the cover to fix switch in side but I don't see any screws can you show me how you open this thanks

[@Coach.Lewi.1979]

Wish it worked for a pro 1500 series. The blade and the fin assembly came apart quite easily buuuut the insides are all part of the blade assembly and can't be replaced. Good news though I have two replacement 6 fin blade attachments that work well just wanted to see if I could fix the original.

[@granjmy]

@Sangeeth Mohan Sir do you offer a service to do this process? Thank you!

[@sussexherbals]

Incredible guide. Thank you 🙏

[@StephenMcKeen]

I think the larger washer (the one next to bearings rather than on the shaft) has disintegrated (or was never there). Could you estimate the size or give a comparison for replacement, please?

[@knifesedge4061]

Hi, the outer diameter is 14mm. The inner hole will match the diameter of the shaft going through it at that point. Its a thin white ceramic washer (any thin food grade washer will do).

[@Declanworld]

Anyone know where to get the white ceramic washer in the UK or Ireland?

[@FIRSTwolfbrandchili]

Thank you for this! Very informative. Do you happen to know the white ceramic washer size?

[@doctorsangeeth]

Hi. Sorry mate, I am not sure. I would just take it to the nearest hardware/ plumbing supplies store and get a replacement.

[@FIRSTwolfbrandchili]

@@doctorsangeeth No worries, tried today without any luck so thought I'd ask just in case. Cheers!

[@doctorsangeeth]

@@FIRSTwolfbrandchili let me see. I will open it up again and measure it. Will let you know.

[@FIRSTwolfbrandchili]

@@doctorsangeeth You're too kind, you don't have to do that! I'll try another hardware/plumbing store.

[@littlewren2353]

@@FIRSTwolfbrandchili The white washer directly below the blades, the inner diameter is 8mm and the outer diameter is 14mm. Thickness 1mm. The washer on my blade set is actually plastic and flexible (probably PTFE / Teflon) so I wouldn’t worry too much about finding ceramic. Hope this helps.

This is great, thanks! Our blade spin has become really stiff, can barely even hand turn it so I'm concerned it's adding extra wear and tear to the machine. Been thinking about pulling it apart for a deep clean. I'm not yet sure if it needs a good lubing up or new bearings.... :|a

Okay , thanks alot. I hope they fix it

[@unclejoemoove7878]

The bearings on mine got chopped up and ended up in my smoothie and I swallowed Tiny metal bits from it! Has this ever happened to any of you?

[@master_moose]

I don't know about anyone else, but unfortunately the shaft on my blade is 7.8mm, not 8mm, so it doesn't fit snugly into the new bearing. The shaft just spins inside the inner bearing race without actually turning the bearings. Anyone else run into this? Anyone know where I can get 7.8x19x6 bearings!?

[@philo8040]

very good thanks

[@MrSagsta]

Mines is leaking from there. Very little play in bearing. I'm assuming you used a stainless steel ball bearing

[@doctorsangeeth]

Yes they were high speed stainless steel bearings from Plaig like the ones shown in the inset image. Leakage may be due to loose/ worn washers too I guess.

[@agfa663]

The bearing PART NUMBER is: S698-2RS made of stainless steel. For this application, should only use stainless steel ones

[@jutebalarcher2935]

super

[@abodyfm]

The bearings had been damaged because the seal had gone and started leaking on the bearings so the seal must be replaced with the bearings.
