If your wet grinder’s blades are not rotating properly, there could be a few common causes behind the issue. Understanding the root of the problem is key to finding an effective solution. Let’s dive into the most frequent reasons for a non-rotating wet grinder and explore how to fix them.
Damaged Bearing
The most common cause of a mixer blade not rotating is a damaged bearing. In such cases, you can try manually turning the mixer blades in the opposite direction a few times. If this doesn’t help, try dropping a few drops of coconut or mustard oil on the coupling mechanism. Then, put the jar upside down and let it sit for about 10 minutes before reattaching it and turning on the grinder. This can help loosen up the mechanism and get the blades rotating again.
Broken Motor Coupler
Another common issue is a broken motor coupler. This crucial component can break due to overloading, using inferior quality materials, or prolonged use of the appliance. If the motor coupler is damaged, you’ll need to replace it, as there’s no DIY fix for this problem.
Damaged Electric Wires
Damaged or worn-out wiring in the motor can also prevent the blades from rotating properly. Inspect the wires regularly and replace them if you notice any signs of damage. If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, it’s best to call in a professional.
Blocked Lid
Sometimes, the issue may not be with the blades themselves, but with the lid of the jar. If the lid is blocked or compressed, it can prevent the blades from rotating freely. In this case, you’ll need to contact a professional to open the lid and allow the air to escape.
By understanding the common causes of a non-rotating wet grinder, you can take the necessary steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem, ensuring your appliance is back in working order.
