Do I need to replace my drive socket?
The drive socket is a wear item and requires periodic replacement based on use. Vitamix® recommends inspecting drive sockets and centering pads weekly using the Blender Care & Maintenance Guide. Check for nicks, cracks, or gouges in the outer surface. If any are present, replace. Inspect the inner gear teeth of the drive socket. If worn, replace.
Open
Which replacement drive socket is right for my machine?
我们提供两种传动轴套:一种用于 Vitamix XL®,另一种适用于其他任何机器。
- Item number 000891 is the standard drive socket that is used for all Vitamix® Commercial products, except the XL machine.
- The Vitamix XL uses drive socket item number 015902.
Open
Why are drive sockets important?
传动轴套是故障保护系统,用来耦合 Vitamix® 机器中的马达和刀片组件。当刀片组件被堵塞时,传动轴套可以保护操作人员免受伤害,同时让马达免遭损坏。
传动轴套也有助于降低搅拌噪音。安装正确的传动轴套应该是可以与机器连接的,但略有松动。这样,传动轴套就能与容杯对齐,减少搅拌噪音。
传动轴套是最容易被忽视的磨损部件,应该根据 料理机保养与维护指南进行周检。
Open
What causes a drive socket to wear?
下列情况会造成传动轴套的过早磨损:
- 在马达完全停止旋转前,卸下容杯
- A worn blade assembly gear
- 当马达正在旋转时,将容杯装在传动轴套上
- 正在搅拌时晃动或倾斜容杯
- A foreign object in the container
- 定心垫未安装时运行机器
- 使用未经 Vitamix® 许可的部件或产品
Open
What can I do to maximize the life of my machine?
Weekly:
- Inspect drive sockets and centering pads according to directions in the Blender Care & Maintenance Guide.
每月:
- 检查所有容杯是否有磨损或裂缝。
- Inspect all blade assemblies according to directions in the Blender Care & Maintenance Guide.
Open
What can I do to prevent the machine from overheating?
- 执行建议的预防性维护步骤。
- 避免长时间搅拌超厚的原料。
- 遵循手册中概述的程序说明。
- Keep at least 12 inches of open space around the blender.

What sanitizer does Vitamix® recommend?
Vitamix only recommends using a bleach sanitizer at 100 ppm on polycarbonate containers.
Open
What if the unit shuts off while blending?
The motor is designed with thermal overload protection, which senses when the motor has overheated and automatically stops the motor. Depending on how hot the unit became, it may take an hour or more to cool down. Once the unit has cooled, the thermal overload protection device will close and allow the unit to operate again. If this continues, please contact us at 800.886.5235 or commercialts@vitamix.com.
Open
Do I need to replace my blade assembly?
Blade assemblies are a wear item and require periodic replacement based on use. Vitamix® recommends inspecting blade assemblies weekly according to the Blender Care & Maintenance Guide instructions below. Contact us at 800.886.5235 or commercialts@vitamix.com if you determine that you need a replacement blade assembly.
- 检查外表面是否有缺口、裂缝或凹痕。 一经发现,请立即更换。
- 检查刀片组件齿轮是否磨损。轮齿应该很深且有连续的齿刃。
- 检查齿轮下方的刀片组件。如果发现任何密封件出现开裂、丢失或位移的情况,请更换刀片组件。
- 手动旋转刀片,使其平稳、紧固、具有耐光性。
- 将刀片组件的齿轮放在食指和拇指之间,沿垂直方向上下推动齿轮。如发现任何垂直移动,请立即更换刀片组件。
简而言之,应该在出现以下情况时更换刀片组件:
- “针轮”或轮子如风车一样毫无阻力地自由转动
- 不转动或用手很难转动
- 旋转时发出响声
- 垂直移动
- 左右移动
- 在本应该有密封的地方看见了钢珠轴承
Open
What causes a blade assembly to wear?
下列情况会造成刀片组件的过早磨损:
- 正在搅拌时,容杯中出现了异物
- 传动轴套正在旋转时,卸下容杯或将容杯安装在机器上
- 定心垫未安装就位时运行机器
- 正在搅拌时晃动或倾斜容杯
- 传动轴套磨损
- Soaking in bleach sanitizer solution above 100 ppm
- Placing in a dishwasher
- 使用未经 Vitamix® 许可的部件或产品
- 搅拌砂砾制品,如沙子
Open
Why is sanitizer strength important?
Vitamix® recommends regularly using a test strip to periodically check sanitizer strength. An overly strong sanitizer concentration will cause:
- Milky or chalky appearance of containers
- Hairline cracks in container edges or handle
- Brittle containers
- 容杯起泡或脱皮
- 刀片组件的轴承密封条失效
- 防松螺母生锈
Open
My Container is brittle, cracking, chalky, milky, bubbling, peeling, or has rust on the retainer nuts. What is causing this?
The sanitizer strength is too strong, or sanitizer is being used in conjunction with a high-temperature dish washer. Bleach sanitizer should be 100 ppm for polycarbonate containers. An overly strong sanitizer concentration will cause:
- Milky or chalky appearance of containers
- Hairline cracks in container edges or handle
- Brittle containers
- 容杯起泡或脱皮
- 刀片组件的轴承密封条失效
- 防松螺母生锈
注意: 使用规定以外的消毒剂或消毒剂强度过大可能会造成容杯和刀片组件保修无效。

Fluid is pooling inside the sound enclosure and seeping out around the sound reducing pad onto the base of the machine. Why does this happen?
虽然有排水通道将马达轴中的液体排出,但却没有排水通道排出隔音罩中的液体。机器使用人员需要用软布擦干液体,再用热肥皂水清洗一遍。
Open
How do I install the sound enclosure on The Quiet One®?
安装前,确保 The Quiet One 降音垫位置正确。 将隔音罩后罩放在马达底座的降音垫上。 马达底座内的磁石会将后罩固定到正确位置。 安装隔音罩门时,展开铰链点,并通过后罩两侧的铰链制动器滑动铰链点。
Open
How do I remove the sound enclosure on The Quiet One®?
The Quiet One 的隔音罩是靠磁铁固定到位的。 首先,展开隔音罩铰链点,移除后罩两侧的铰链制动器,从而卸下隔音罩门。卸下前门后,一只手放在马达底座后面,另一只手放在后罩上角。 沿对角方向,将隔音罩上角拉向机器前角背面。
Open
My sound enclosure door will not open. What should I do?
因为隔音罩具有密封性,当果汁、糖或混合物溅到后罩的密封垫圈上时,隔音罩的粘性会加强,从而使门紧闭。如果出现这种情况,将整个隔音罩卸下来,浸泡在热肥皂水中。
Open
Is the sound enclosure for The Quiet One® dishwasher safe?
No, the sound enclosure is made from a polymer called Tritan™. This material is great for sound reduction and durability in certain applications, but it is not dishwasher safe.
Open
Is the sound reducing pad dishwasher safe?
不安全。如果让洗碗机处在高温下,降音垫会变形,而且可能会膨胀。
Open
How do I remove the sound reducing pad from The Quiet One® for cleaning?
卸下隔音罩后,用拇指向上卷起降音垫的前角,并沿对角方向将垫圈拉向马达底座后角的背面。
Open
What is the warranty period on The Quiet One®?
Vitamix® 向原始终端用户保证:
马达底座:
If the motor base fails within thirty (30) days from the original date of purchase, Vitamix will replace the motor base without charge.
If the motor base fails after thirty (30) days but within one year from the original date of purchase, due to a defect in materials or workmanship, Vitamix will assume the cost of all parts and labor necessary to repair the motor base.

Open
Will acidic fruit juices, sugars or water affect any of the rubber components of the machine?
不会。The Quiet One® 和其他每台 Vitamix® 机器的所有材料都是特意根据它们的性能挑选的,并且做了抗酸性测试。
Open
Which containers work with The Quiet One®?
The Advance®, 64-ounce Standard, 48-ounce Standard, and 32-ounce Standard containers all work with The Quiet One.
Open
Can fluid seep into the motor base, damaging internal components?
No. There are seals beneath the drive socket and base plate. In addition, the sound reducing pad has a lip around it that seals it to the base plate. The base plate has drain channels that funnel fluids away from the motor shaft.
Open
How can I tell how much my machine is being used?
There are three different ways to measure your machine’s use. The first is a motor life timer. This displays the number of hours that the motor has been in operation. The second is a total cycle counter that shows the number of times the machine has been cycled. The third is a resettable count meter that can be used to compare the number of blends to register receipts.
从 The Quiet One® 上了解该信息:
将机器处于 "off" 位置,按住数字为二的程序按钮,然后开启机器。当机器循环通过该温度和周期计数时,继续按住数字为二的程序按钮七到十秒。请查看《所有者手册》了解完整说明。
Open
How do I know if my machine is about to overheat?
You can check the motor temperature by turning the machine off, holding the number 2 button for 7 to 10 seconds and then reading the temperature. Under normal operation, the display will read Temp: Norm. If you do not see this reading, leave the machine off until the temperature returns to normal. To cool the machine, you can also operate the unit without a container, but with the sound enclosure door closed. This will circulate the warm air out and away, and bring cool air into the motor area.
Open
If I put the sound reducing pad in a dishwasher and it becomes distorted, is it ruined?
不是。将降音垫放在一个干燥的平面上,温度适宜,几天后,它就会恢复原状。
Open
Will sanitizers affect the sound reducing pad?
No. Light cleaning with a sanitizer will not hurt the sound reducing pad. However, do not leave the sound reducing pad soaking in sanitizer.
Open
Can I soak the sound reducing pad in water overnight?
不可以。Sorbothane® 材料会膨胀,并且变形。 一旦发生这种情况,将降音垫放在一个干燥的平面上,温度适宜,几天后,它就会恢复原状。

从 Blending Station® Advance® 上了解该信息:
Press the Vitamix® logo once to reveal the mode message on the control panel. Press button 1, then button 6 within five seconds to continue. Once the correct code is entered, the display will indicate the motor temperature (NORM, WARM, HOT), a usage count, and a total. The “COUNT” is a machine usage total and can be reset. This can be used to keep a count of the number of drinks sold in a week, day, or even an hour. To clear, press and hold the START/STOP button for 5 seconds. The “TOTAL” keeps track of the machine usage, including production and testing, and cannot be cleared. See your Owner’s Manual for complete instructions.
