Nutri Ninja Pro Model BL482 70 lights don't come on. Found an issue with the circuit board. Could not find replacement parts. Replaced boards with a switch.
Thanks so much for posting this, it helped me fix my Ninja blender. On mine the thin red cable popped off and I soldered it back on, voila the machine was fixed. I called the company and they told me the warranty had expired and to throw it away.
Thanks for the great video! I have the Ninja nutri- blender pro with the same problem. For mine, one of the thin black wires for one of safety switches had come off. I couldnt get the outer shell off completely (not sure if there was a screw that I couldnt find or if there was a plastic bracket). Therefore i didnt have much space to work with. I couldnt find the soldering iron, so i snipped the other wire off and straigh wired it by stripping and twisting the wires together, covering it with electical tape. Working now! Hopefully the vibrations don't undo my twisting. If it does, ill solder it at a later date.
@@diywithdave3186 Yes that was it mine wasn't working so I shorted those 2 switches and now mine works (seems those switches are often the problem), there might be a way to fix the broken switch but it was easiest to just short the switches
Thanks for the great video! My circuit board is messed up and I dont have a soldering kit. I was thinking about just straight wiring it like you did. I was concerned that the motor might burn out. How much life were you able to get out of it?
So it appears to me that it was the sensors not making contact when you twist the mixing cup. Mine has fluid running into the little spaces which makes me think there's build up keeping it from making contact.
Thanks for your comment. At about 2 minutes into the video I show where those two switches are. You should be able to check them with a multi-meter to make sure that when they actuate they go from OL (out of limits) to low resistance.
The switch actuated by turning the cup is just a safety switch that lets the control board know that the cup is present. It does not actually turn it on. Because the control board was bad and I couldn't figure out how to get another one I just removed the control board and replace it with the household light switch to power the motor.
@@diywithdave3186 Did you try shorting those two switches first?, that fixed mine (those 2 switches need to be closed for the blender to go on) I guess one of the switches was broken.
Hey there I have a question hope you respond. I have the same model of Ninja Blender, mines stopped working also because it accidently got wet while I was cleaning it, when I tried to open it theres a light but the motor doesnt turn on. Whats the best solution to do? Thanks! 🙏
You want to make sure that the switches that sense the presence of the mixing container are working properly. If they are, you could look for broken wires or things on the circuit board that look burned. If all else fails you could do what I show in the video. If that doesn't work the motor is probably defective.
@@diywithdave3186 I didnt use it for 2 days and tried to blow dry for a few minutes. When I used it yesterday it started to work. Thanks for responding. 😅
I am not sure which cover you are referring to. As the video shows at the beginning, you have to start from the bottom of the unit and take the screws out and then the cover will come off. I apologize for not showing it in sequence. I made the video after the fact and it was already apart. If I am not addressing your question, please try to be more specific.
I am not sure I understand which cover you are referring to. You have to start at the bottom of the unit and remove the screws as described at the beginning of the video. I apologize for not showing it more clearly, but I already had it apart when I decided to make the video. If I am not understanding your question please try to be a little more specific.
I am not sure I am following you. My blade assembly screws into the mixing container and is not part of the motor base. I have not tried to remove the blade from piece it is mounted to.
@@diywithdave3186 I had a provlem with one of the torx screws which wouldnt turn so I had to break the plastic (using a screw driver) to get the bottom off.
Thanks for your comment. I have not had any issues with it, but I acknowledge that the safety circuit that does not allow it to run without the container on it was disabled.
@@diywithdave3186You are so incredibly patient, yet firm & dispassionate, with your answers to questions that are potentially provocative, that it's tempting to think that your nature is largely guided by your faith. Congratulations, and thanks for the video too.
I've got mine in bits at the moment as the top bearing has collapsed, poor design or clever design ....both actually .... Poor for us but clever for the company as there is no seal underneath the impeller so if you have a mishap and sme fluid leeks of you wet and clean around impeller the water, detergent, smothie etc just leeks directly onto to bearing and will eventually destroy itself........ New bearing in post from a bearing company here in uk for £2.99p plus free postage...... Bargain
@@diywithdave3186 yeah the bearing came on Saturday and it no works perfect again, this problem will happen if you don't tighten lid properly and get liquid in around impeller or if it's cleaned with to water or spray cleaner or whatever people use to clean, it leaks down the shaft straight to the bearing, cheers for reply
@@chauncyfill-ups7613 I opened it up and there are 2 switches (one on each side of the motor) I shorted the switches and now mine works) if you know something about electronics this is an easy fix.
There's a red and black wire on each side of both the switches I just removed those 2 wires and soldered them together and then put electrical tape around that for safety, I did this with each of the 2 switches. the only problem with this is the blender motor will run even if the pitcher isn't seated properly so you must be sure the pitcher is seated properly everytime before running the blender (bc this removes that safety feature where the blender will only run if the pitcher is seated properly). @@ricardoafm
You might try to see if your switches that detect the presence of the mixing container are working. It will not start if it does not detect the container.
@@ricardoafm do you know where the micro switches are❓ there are 2 wires on each switch. Connect them together , seal and tape them. With a meter you could test and tell which one is bad. It was 5 years ago but I think there were 2 switches wired together. If that’s the case simply tale the wires running to them and connect them bypassing both.
Are you talking about the circuit board that I replaced with the switch? I am not sure. I had a guy try to help me find the issue with it. He replaced a couple of components on the board, but it still didn't work. I would have to look to see if I kept it, but I would doubt it.
I did open mine up and I shorted the 2 switches that tell the machine that the cup is in place and that fixed mine, had that not worked I would have thrown it out.

Thank You! I thought the motor (6 months old) had given out. You saved me $100
Glad to hear it helped you, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks a bit much for my patience. Mine light turns on but won’t spin
Thanks for your comment.
Mine either. A power surge happened and that’s when it stopped blending . Light is a solid red, but, none of the buttons start it up
I had this problem too, I just shorted the 2 switches (the ones on each side of the motor) and it works fine now.
Thanks for the tip. Are you talking about the safety switches that are supposed to sense when the container is in place?

Hello sir, you directly hook the motor on ac 120v? Thanks
Yes
Question: At the beginning of the video you talk about switch when turning the cup. Why did you just use that switch? instead of the household one.
The switch actuated by turning the cup is just a safety switch that lets the control board know that the cup is present. It does not actually turn it on. Because the control board was bad and I couldn't figure out how to get another one I just removed the control board and replace it with the household light switch to power the motor.
As I thought about your question more, another answer is that the safety switch could not handle the current drawn by the motor, it would burn up.
@@diywithdave3186 Did you try shorting those two switches first?, that fixed mine (those 2 switches need to be closed for the blender to go on) I guess one of the switches was broken.
@@sherri419 both switches were working properly on mine. So that was not my issue.

@@ThePeterPan1211 you're welcome.
1:02 that is the whole idea. how did you unscrew that?
If I understand your question I removed the 3 torx screws with the tool shown laying on the bench on the left side of the blender at 1:27.
that's unfortunate. I'm having a similar issue but it won't turn on either. I really don't want to have to just wire in a straight up switch.
I could not find a replacement circuit board, to this was the only option that I could think of.
How to do you remove the cover to get to the controls?
I am not sure which cover you are referring to. As the video shows at the beginning, you have to start from the bottom of the unit and take the screws out and then the cover will come off. I apologize for not showing it in sequence. I made the video after the fact and it was already apart. If I am not addressing your question, please try to be more specific.

What kind of screw driver (code of bit) did you use at the very first screws? I have not any bit that fits these screws
Mine won’t even lock the locking mechanism is stuck in place
Thanks for sharing.
WhAat I needed to do was to open it up all teh way and get to the blade assembly it I'm having difficulty opening it.
I am not sure I am following you. My blade assembly screws into the mixing container and is not part of the motor base. I have not tried to remove the blade from piece it is mounted to.

i have light on mine but it doesnt start .

Your micro switches aren’t working. Simply bypass them. It’s not a board problem.
Are you talking about the ones that sense the presence of the mixing container or something else?
Yes, the ones that are pressed by putting in the container.
I checked those, they were operating correctly. Mine was definitely a board problem. I could see where it had shorted.
could you explain me how to bypass them?

Sorry about that. I have received that feedback from others. I have been trying to improve in that area, but I still fall back into it sometimes.

most likely water shorted it
