I bought a Ninja blender from Facebook marketplace and put the blender in the exact same direction that you broke the blender jar, but luckily the blender jar didn’t break. But something worse happened - I had accused the person who sold the blender of cheating me, only to realize it was my mistake after seeing this video and I apologized like ten times to the person and asked for forgiveness. This video made the blender fine, but also made me realize my social prejudice and made me feel really shameful. Thanks so much for the video and walking us through the steps in a practical fashion.
THANK YOU! ❤️ Our blender was a wedding gift and I used it less than 5 times before my husband got a hold of it and it stopped working. I tried everything to fix it, it sat in our closet for 3 years before I tried again... And the heavens opened up and sent me this video 😂 I fixed it, and finally have a working blender again!!
Same thing happened to me and you just saved me the cost of a replacement!!! I wedged a piece of toothpick into the base as a "permanent" fix. THANK YOU for the idea!
Also, you may already know this, but I have been worried that this fix could lead to someone accidently turning on the blender while the lid is off (kids/teens/us accidently) and just wanted to warn that without the lid on the blades may come loose which sounds really scary in my head and could injure someone so I needed to warn everyone. I'll write the company and see what they say. Be safe and Happy blending! 😁
Thanks you so much for your video. Hadn't used my Ninja in years. Tried to use it today and apparently I had broken that little hinge. Tired the toothpick trick and it works like a charm. It was on it's way out the door tomorrow. Loved the video. Thanks again
Just used this video to fix my wife's blender. She just bought it, so she was really pissed about it, but now I'm her hero. Probably gonna get some butt stuff tonight, so thanks for that mate.
so I sat for a minnnn thinking the blender was broke whole time I didn’t even need a toothpick I just needed to turn the blender so the top is in the front and that worked .. I literally almost broke the blender but thank you so much cause now I know the handle has to be in the front 😅 5 years later this video still helpful l
Thank you so much! I couldn't make the toothpick work but I shoved some foil into the bottom button and it stayed and now it works!! Every other site just says "tighten the lid". Duh I know how to work my blender lol Thanks again!!
Same exact thing just happened to me! Thank you so much for this video. I got the blender as a gift and it didn't have the instruction manual so I just put it on the first way that felt natural. It's so stupid that it breaks when you do that. It took me like 10 minutes of struggling to be able to pry the thing off again and put it on the right way
Thanks, couldn't find this mentioned anywhere else. I couldn't get the toothpick to work and didn't want to buy another blender jar so we just ended up superglueing one of the lock notches down so it doesn't have that safety function anymore but we're a household of adults so I don't think it will be a problem.
Hey thanks! Put the handle in the back and the lid wouldn't lock in. Finally found your video. Thankfully the plastic piece wasn't broken and I just had to turn it around to get it to work. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, was cooking this weekend and turned it on for the first time and had the flashing light. Definitely broke it the day before while struggling to lock it in place. You’re the man! 🙌🏻
Omg thank u I just got 1 because I wanted to make blended snow ice and I kept wondering why it won’t work.. This video was helpful because Walmart was going to be giving me another 1.. THANK U AGAIN
Appreciate this video!!!!!!! I couldn't get the toothpick to work. I subbed the tooth pick for the end of a plastic paint brush. Thanks for the information and inspiration!!
you are a saint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everything i saw was saying, oh make sure the base is attached properly, oh make sure the arrows on the lid are the right way and boom youre good... but i was not good until i saw this video! mine cracked and wasnt applying the pressure it needed to and then ended up coming off all the way and now i know what the problem was and how to fix it. thank you!
This was awesome. I had the same issue and search all over for a solution. I figured it had to do with the trigger with the lid or the unite connection. This was quick and to the point. Thank you good sir!!!!
Thank you so much for helping me with my blender issue. No one could ever bother to try it to figure out in my house but me . Of course without your help I couldn't do it myself. 🌟👏😉
Video was mad helpful. I ended up jimmying a piece into the blender part itself because I couldn’t figure out how to make it work by sticking something in the top piece. A piece came loose inside the handle so I cut it in half and used that lol. You can also try to cut an ink cartridge in half if you don’t have picks.
worked beautifully!!!!! Will try a more permanent way to keep that little button permanently pushed down in place, maybe initially hold it down with tooth pick and carefully fill with either epoxy, etc. Making Banana Ice smoothies with a dash of Oveltine right now, I yelled out to the kids...."Now THIS is why I watch the videos, that I watch on RUclips, as I love learning how to build or fix things!!"
Aow wawww how smart you are , I get tired 😫 with mine and almost going to throw it away but last try was watching your amazing video and it worked 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 thank you very much 😊 😀
I just got a thrifted Ninja blender and im already so mad at the brand. Every replacement is stupidly expensive, and so hard to find. Also the lid and pitcher are stupidly over engineered. Mine came without a lid, so i was trying to keep the little button on the top permanently pressed, but this is so much better. Thank you! i was just abot to drive the stupid blender with my car out of frustration.
Ah! The blades do not stay in place without the lid! Do they? I have nightmares of that blade wheel flying out while the lid isn't secure! ...but yes, they need an easier (legit) fix for this for sure.
@@i1Schmidty hey i have a question. So when you put the piece of toothpick in, what happens when the mechanism shifts up and down inside the arm while it’s inserted? Would it slowly push it out or get stuck? I’m assuming this would happen since the square piece that is missing the plastic peg has to move up and down while the lid is opened /closed. Do you just put the toothpick in every time once you close lid? Sorry for long questions and thanks again for this awesome video.
@@starsky8280 Yeah, with this method it needs replacing every so often. Some, myself included, have fixed it in the base stand and it stays much better there! Just be careful because now the machine's safety mechanism is being bypassed and it can start without the lid on (or without the container on if we stuck it in the little button on the base!) Let me know if that made sense or if we need to elavorate. (:
Just came in here to say that I had the same problem but I just didn’t have my lid all the way down so it didn’t push the button down but this video helped me figure it out anyways
Wow !! Mines is literally in the garbage about to take to the dumpster and i came across this video before I actually threw it away … whelp if this works ill be super happy
@@i1Schmidty IT DEFINITELY did work the first try , but then for some reason after the toothpick broke i couldnt get it to the same position. BUT i found another trick. Jam the tooth picks into the sides of the button that makes the blender come on. This will force it to stay down no matter what. & then just break of the excess. I imagine anything sticky will work too. Just jam it on the sides of the button
Thanks god for this you dont belive i pray for working this blender working and then i search youtube i got this video and surpisengly the blender is the same . My god...what can i say thank you and also the person you uplod this video god bless you for sharing us y.
I had the same issue, what I did is I drilled a very small hole in the broken piece that was still attached, and screwed on a small screw. This way you don't have to worry about the toothpick breaking off.
This is great advise!! Also, I may be worrying too much but please do not turn the blender on without the lid attached (this goes for anyone reading this later too!!). I am sure someone is going to do it, but please don't!!! It would be extremely dangerous, because the blade system in this blender is detachable and could come out if not secured down by the lid.
Thanks mane you just helped me lol my stopped in the middle of cooking I almost lost it all but thanks for your video it working great lol I took the time to text this I don care if my food burn lol I appreciate you mane

😂😂😂😂
Racist
Good job for self-examining and self correction, its what the world needs more of
The same exact thing happen to my blender and no one else had a video like this to explain what was going on! Thank you!
Same here.
Feb 2022: This still works! Had to customize my solution to rolled paper towel on the divot itself. Thank you so much!!!
THANK YOU! ❤️

It’s nice to know that you started to blame everything on your husband immediately after the wedding. Hahaha

You saved our Ninja from being confined to trash.Thank you !

It's so stupid that it breaks when you do that. It took me like 10 minutes of struggling to be able to pry the thing off again and put it on the right way
lol, I remember that!I'm sorry, yeah it is a little counter-intuitive and frustrating for sure.

This amazingly worked for me! I haven’t used mine in a while, not sure why it stopped working? But thank you. Very helpful. 5 stars!
You're a life saver, had the same issue with my blender and after watching your video it worked. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, was cooking this weekend and turned it on for the first time and had the flashing light. Definitely broke it the day before while struggling to lock it in place. You’re the man! 🙌🏻
Was about to pull out the screws. But saw your video and put the toothpick as instructed and it worked. Thanks
You're a genius! My wife thought I broke her blender and that wasn't going to end well for me 😅...
Ah, glad you were able to get it fixed! ;D
Omg I got my blender to work using this method thank you so much I almost bought a new blender
You sir saved me the purchase of a new Ninja. Mine was just partially broken so I put a tine from a plastic fork.
Smoothies for everyone!
Ah thank you, this saved me so much trouble going thru the warranty thing when my blender isn't even broken!
You sir are a genius, this just fixed my ninja issue
Omg thank u I just got 1 because I wanted to make blended snow ice and I kept wondering why it won’t work.. This video was helpful because Walmart was going to be giving me another 1.. THANK U AGAIN
Appreciate this video!!!!!!! I couldn't get the toothpick to work. I subbed the tooth pick for the end of a plastic paint brush. Thanks for the information and inspiration!!
Ingenious! 😁
Thanks dude. I didn’t know about the *no-handle-at-the-back* situation. That was the issue. You a real one
You just saved me from having to purchase a new one. I can’t thank you enough xx.
This video helped me determined what had happened to my blender. Thank you so much!!!
you are a saint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everything i saw was saying, oh make sure the base is attached properly, oh make sure the arrows on the lid are the right way and boom youre good... but i was not good until i saw this video! mine cracked and wasnt applying the pressure it needed to and then ended up coming off all the way and now i know what the problem was and how to fix it. thank you!
Thanks for the help! I ended up using a sewing needle and bent it in to permanently hold down the little button.
This was awesome. I had the same issue and search all over for a solution. I figured it had to do with the trigger with the lid or the unite connection. This was quick and to the point. Thank you good sir!!!!
Thank you! I tried the toothpick hack and it worked. I would have never thought of that.
Thank you so much for helping me with my blender issue. No one could ever bother to try it to figure out in my house but me . Of course without your help I couldn't do it myself.
🌟👏😉
Glad you were able to get it working! :D
Thank you so much for letting us know how a simple thing can help. Mine is working again.
Woohoo! 🙌

Funny
My lid was just on 1/4 turn off, your video helped me figure it out
Thank you. This helped me fix my ninja food processor (has a similar safety function) and keep it out of the landfill. 😊
DUDE, YOU ROCK!!! You just saved me some money, thank you!!!
THANK YOU I WAS AT MY WITTSS END AND ABOUT TO THROW OUTT MY BLENDER. YOU SAVED ME
worked beautifully!!!!! Will try a more permanent way to keep that little button permanently pushed down in place, maybe initially hold it down with tooth pick and carefully fill with either epoxy, etc.
Making Banana Ice smoothies with a dash of Oveltine right now, I yelled out to the kids...."Now THIS is why I watch the videos, that I watch on RUclips, as I love learning how to build or fix things!!"
Thank you sir, you saved breakfast. Have a blessed day!
Omg why did I have to search so long for this vid. I thought I broke something but couldn’t figure it out
Love this video, got to fix my neighbor ninja, thanks in a million.
Bought a blender yesterday and it got stuck. Was about breaking it. Thanks for this video

Aow wawww how smart you are , I get tired 😫 with mine and almost going to throw it away but last try was watching your amazing video and it worked 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 thank you very much 😊 😀

HA That's alright my friend, you are the best, anything I can do to make that more apparent is the least I could do! ;)
@@i1Schmidty Legend 👍🏻
I just got a thrifted Ninja blender and im already so mad at the brand. Every replacement is stupidly expensive, and so hard to find. Also the lid and pitcher are stupidly over engineered.

Great video. While not exactly the same issue I was able to follow the safety mechanism to determine my wife had the lid on wrong!!!
You are a genius!!! Thankyou so much
Rite on had same problem saved the blender so helpful so kewl 👍
Thanks for posting this video! I was able to help my son fix his!! We are so grateful!!
Thanks man! I was about to throw mine away.
Glad I could help! :)
Almost did too🤦♀️

Thank you so much. I broke someone else's blender, I hope they don't notice the plastic piece
Thank you for this. You saved me a lot of time and money
Thank you this solved my problem! Great video.
Thanks for the fix! Clutch!
OMG !! Thank you for this video. It worked for me.
Lol you’re a lifesaver I was about to throw mine away
Thank you Soo much this was my same problem!!!!

Nicely done my friend. Fixed mine
Excellent explanation
THANK YOU. I was going to buy a new set!
A million thank yous to you sir!
You’re my hero! Thank you
Thanks god for this you dont belive i pray for working this blender working and then i search youtube i got this video and surpisengly the blender is the same . My god...what can i say thank you and also the person you uplod this video god bless you for sharing us y.
Thank you sir
I had the same issue, what I did is I drilled a very small hole in the broken piece that was still attached, and screwed on a small screw. This way you don't have to worry about the toothpick breaking off.
Did you drill the hole on the bottom? It’s so tiny i cant imagine this :(
Lifesaver🙌🏻
Ty ty so much for this video. I did the exact same thing and could not figure out why it wasn't working
u saved my life rn. thanks so much
5 year old but still new - thanks bud
Thank you so much. Great video.
Thank you save me a blender 😆😅 your video was perfect it saved me time and money 😄
Just want to say thank you. I was about ready to throw it out.
Thank you it actually works!!
Awesome, Thank you!
Oh my god! Thank you! This really helped!😄
added tip...if you put the toothpick at the bottom of the pitcher you will have to change it every time. Jam it in the base and it won’t fall out
This is great advise!! Also, I may be worrying too much but please do not turn the blender on without the lid attached (this goes for anyone reading this later too!!). I am sure someone is going to do it, but please don't!!! It would be extremely dangerous, because the blade system in this blender is detachable and could come out if not secured down by the lid.
That's just what I did 😊😊😊
Thank you for this!!
Excellent how to - now mine WORKS
Thanks 👍. It worked!
Dude this has helped a lot
Love it! Thanks
Mine just broke. This video came on handy
Thanks, bro, this was my exact problem.
Thank you for this video. Thank goodness I didn't break mine. I was doing the exact same thing and wondering why it was so hard to lock into place.
Thank you very much mine is new and this video show me how to fix it thanks
It sucks you're even allowed to put it on backwards if it's going to just break. Definitely not designed for mistakes
if you can find the piece of the part that broke off super glueing it back on is also effective
Thanks mane you just helped me lol my stopped in the middle of cooking I almost lost it all but thanks for your video it working great lol I took the time to text this I don care if my food burn lol I appreciate you mane
Life saver 😘
THANK YOUUUUUUU!
