Your Vitamix motor is designed to protect from overheating and overcurrent conditions
during use. Both features will shut off the motor. The motor will possibly emit a slight
odor. Follow the procedures below to reset the motor for either situation. If you continue
to experience problems after following these instructions, contact your local distributor
immediately for instructions.
Overheat Protection Reset Procedure
If the motor shuts off due to overheating while blending, allow the machine to cool for 20-
45 minutes before beginning another blending cycle. If the motor will not start after being
allowed to cool, perform the Automatic Overcurrent Protection Reset Procedure below.
Overcurrent Protection Reset Procedure
1.
Push the On/Off switch down to the
Off position (O).
2.
Unplug the unit.
3.
Remove the container.
4.
Turn the motor base on its side.
5.
Press the reset button on the bottom
of the machine.
6.
Plug unit in and continue with the

If the blender will not start immediately,
the motor is overheated. Allow the motor
to cool for 20-45 minutes before beginning
another blending cycle.
