Troubleshooting - Vitamix 7500 Owner's Manual

Automatic Overload Protection
Your Vitamix machine is equipped with a special feature: Automatic Overload
Protection. This built-in feature is designed to protect the motor and prevent your
machine from overheating. When engaged, this Automatic Overload Protection
will cause the motor to shut off and possibly emit a light odor.
If the motor shuts off, follow these instructions:
Turn off the power switch for up to 45 minutes to reset. Reset time will be extended
if high room temperatures exist. To reduce the reset time, unplug the machine,
remove the container, and blow air into the center section of the bottom with a
hair dryer on the cool setting.
Tips to prevent overloading your Vitamix machine:
moving around and through the blades
Retainer Nut Loosening
In the event that the retainer nut at the bottom of your container loosens and
no longer securely holds the blade assembly in place, Do not continue to use the
container. Call Vitamix Customer Service at 800.848.2649 or 440-235-4840, or
your local dealer immediately for instructions.
Variable Speed Reset
If the Variable Speed Function is not working and the blades only rotate at the
lowest speed (Variable Speed 1) the blender must be reset.
To reset the machine and reactivate the Variable Speed Function:
1. Switch the Start/Stop Switch to Stop ( ).
2. Turn the Variable Speed Dial back to 1.
This will reset the Variable Speed Function. When you move the Start/Stop switch
to the Start position, you will have full use of all variable speeds.
