How to Fix a Leaking Oser/Osterizer Blender

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

After making my last smoothie I noticed that the liquid was leaking through the bottom of the blender jar through the little gear area where it connects to the blender base. I did some research, you can fix this. all you have to do is buy this blender refresh kit and replace that base piece.

If you don’t have an Oster brand blender, you’ll want to do a search for your own brand and model number and see if similar replacement parts are sold.

My search terms:

  1. oster 6650 leaks
  2. oster Blade Gaskets
  3. Oster 6010
  4. osterizer blender replacement parts
  5. Blade Gaskets Jar Ring
  6. Oster Blender Refresh Kit

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

There’s no tab index field, the tab traversal is simply determined by the order of the elements in the resource (*.rsrc.py) file.
