Oh dear my old blender that I've had for years suddenly started making this awful grinding noise last week when I was trying to make my morning smoothie. You know, I'm 64 and not too handy with these gadgets, but I love my fresh fruit blends every day. I've tried cleaning it out thinking maybe some pulp got stuck, but that didn't help at all. Money's a bit tight right now since I'm on a fixed income, so I can't just go buy a new one. I even unplugged it and plugged it back in, but the noise is still there. Does anyone have simple tips for fixing this without calling a repairman? I remember my late husband used to tinker with appliances, but I'm lost here. Any advice would be appreciated, friends!
