Possible Causes

Excessively thick or overfilled mixture causing high torque, Dull or damaged blade set increasing load, Motor bearings starting to seize, Faulty current sensing circuit on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and wait for the blades to stop completely before opening.

  • Reduce load: Remove some contents from the bowl and add more liquid if possible to reduce viscosity. Follow the maximum fill lines strictly.
  • Inspect blades: Remove the blade set and check for bent, chipped, or heavily worn blades. Replace if damaged.
  • Check for foreign objects: Ensure no hard objects (spoons, bones, pits) are trapped in the blades.
  • Test at lower speed: After reducing load, run the machine at a lower speed and gradually increase. If C13 recurs with light loads, the motor or current sensing circuit may be faulty and require professional service.
