This troubleshooting page will help you diagnose problems with the Oster Simple Blend 100.

The blades won’t turn properly while being used.

While the blender is unplugged, make sure that the jar is attached properly onto the base of the unit.

While the blender is unplugged, take apart your blender until you have access to the blade’s assembly. Make sure that everything is in place with the O ring over on top of the agitator and placed into the base, which will be screwed onto the jar tightly.

While the blender is unplugged, check the blade assembly for any food that has jammed the blades and remove it carefully.

The blender gives off a smell of smoke or burnt plastic while being used.

If there is not enough liquid in the blender jar while in use, its content can rapidly scrape the sides and give off the smell of burnt plastic. Make sure to use at least enough liquid to cover the blender’s blades.

Being that this is a very simple blender, it is not made to be used for more than 10 seconds at a time. Use it for 10 seconds at a time, giving it 10 seconds of rest between blends.

The contents of the blender jar leak out.

The blender may leak through the top of the blender if the lid is not the right size for the blender. Check the Oster website to make sure that your lid is the right size for your blender jar, and if a replacement is needed check the Oster website.

If the blender jar is cracked, its contents will most likely leak out of the side. Check the Oster website to replace this part.

 If the O ring on the bottom of the blender jar is not secured, it may leak out of the bottom of the blender. Make sure the O ring is secure and use the blender to make sure that is the fix needed.

The plastic rim broke while being used

If there are many frozen fruits or ice cubes being used at once, it could cause the rim to break throughout the process of blending. Try to reduce the amount of frozen fruits or ice cubes and add more water into the blender.

The button won’t function when its plug in

If pressing repeatedly on the buttons, the buttons would potentially be disconnected with the blender and cause problems. Try to press it once and wait for it to work.

Often, some outlet/plug would not work because it does not have enough power for the blender. Try to place the blender in a different area with a different outlet and check if it is working. Replace the blender if it is still not functioning.
