Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am so sorry that I don't know how to advise you with an Amazon.com purchase. I'd try calling Vitamix customer service first (the 800 number is on the back of your machine). Need to make sure the base (motor) of your machine wasn't damaged.
