Over time, even the best kitchen blenders will start to show damage. This is especially true if you use your blender every day to make thick smoothies. Today, in our throw-away society we're quick to just trash a product at the first sign of a malfunction. Small appliances like blenders are usually not worth taking to a repair shop to have them fixed. But before you resign your blender to the landfill and buy a new one, there are several quick and easy repairs you can do yourself. Taking the time to do these checks to see if you can get your blender working again is certainly worth it.

 

Leaks

One of the most common problems you'll find with your kitchen blender is leaking. Even top rated blenders from blender reviews will start to have this problem eventually. The cause lies in the o-ring or gasket located in the bottom of the blender jar where the blade assembly and housing reside. Over time the rubber gasket starts to wear down. If your blender leaking comes from the glass jar and not the bottom, then there is likely a crack in the jar and you'll have to replace it. Bottom leaking though is likely the gasket. To inspect it, you'll need to unscrew the blade housing from the blender jar and pull out the rubber o-ring. Then you can just look for leaks and tears in the rubber of this ring. This part is easily replaceable and only costs a few dollars. You can find it online or at most home discount or appliance stores.

 

Faulty Blades

Another common problem with blenders will occur with the blades. In this case the engine will start to run, but the blades will turn too slowly. If this happens then the likely cause is something clogging the blade assembly area. You'll need to take the assembly apart and clean everything thoroughly with a scrub brush. There is probably a build-up of food slowing the blades. Soaking everything for a few hours in detergent will also help to dissolve any food particles or gunk that has built up over time. Be sure to check your owner's manual to make sure that this is OK to do for your particular blender brand. You may also want to add some white grease or WD-40 to the lower part of the blade assembly (not in any areas where you'll be putting food of course). If all of this fails to work, then you'll probably have to replace the whole assembly, which can also be purchased online or at most home appliance retailers.

 

Busted Buttons

One other issue you may have with your kitchen blender lies with the buttons or the control panel. Often buttons will get stuck. This is probably caused by food and drink getting down into the button area and causing them to jam up. Even if you are careful and clean the buttons and control panel thoroughly, over time, food particle will still accumulate. Many blender models will let you take off the control panel cover so that you can clean up behind this. You can use a toothbrush here to help you get down into all the crevices. Some blender models will also let you remove the screws on the bottom of the unit and pull out the lower housing area so that you can get to the buttons easier. Be sure to consult your owner's manual if you need to do this. Often all your blender needs is a good cleaning to get the buttons working again.

 

This information should help solve most common minor blender problems. Keep in mind that often a simple repair or replacement will save you the expense of having to get a new blender. It's also much better for the environment to repair something rather than to just throw it away.

Keep Your Honda Head Gaskets in Check

The engine is one of your Honda vehicle’s critical auto parts. It is the sole car part burdened with the important task of burning fuel to power the vehicle. Understandably, even your Honda vehicle’s tough engine needs the support of other car parts to properly fulfill such a demanding function. These Honda parts can be separate from the engine, like the radiator. Radiators keep the engine cool and prevent the engine from overheating. On the other hand, supporting auto parts can be contained within the engine itself, like the Honda Head Gaskets.

Located between the engine block and cylinder head, the Honda Head Gasket is designed to seal the combustion chambers from possible coolant or engine oil contamination. The head gasket is also the most important sealant in your Honda’s engine. Modern Honda engines usually carry Honda Head Gaskets that fall under the “Multiple Layers Steel” type of head gaskets. This type usually has three layers of steel that are coated with rubber, for better binding to the cylinder block. As parts of the combustion chamber, Honda head gaskets are made to be durable. If the head gasket fails, compression can be lost and exhaust gases might enter the cooling system. In turn, this damages your Honda’s engine and deters your Honda car’s performance.

However sturdy the Honda Head Gasket is, head gasket problems are likely to happen because of these auto parts’ proximity to the engine. A common head gasket problem involves leaking due to compression in the cylinder. This hazard can remedied by replacing the head gasket immediately, before you suffer the consequences of a blown head gasket. Honda owners should always be aware if their Honda Head Gaskets still effectively seal the combustion chambers off. If a replacement is needed, there is no better place than our site to find one. Our extensive catalog can help you get the right Honda parts you need.

I replaced my engine will white smoke continue to come thru the exhaust? The old one had a blown head gasket.?

The car isn't over heating and the radiator is full and there is oil in the engine but white smoke is flowing thru the exhaust. Is that due to all the anti-freeze spilling into the exhaust from the old engine's blown head gasket? Thanks guys!

Yes, you'll notice the smoke & smell the fumes until the old antifreeze has dissipated.
