Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 the pieces that seem to have the issue - something on the bottom of the dry container rubs against the rubber that is part of the drive socket as if the rubber that is part of the drive socket on the early 90s machine is too big and something on the drive container is trying to trim it down - this trimming is happening toward the outer edge of the drive socket - NOT where the bottom of the container blades goes into the drive socket http://www.vitamix.com/household/service/5000schem.pdf damn new container - I bought a dry container - the one listed here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001949USO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 I put it on my base - a white 5000 something I bought in the early 90s- and shortly after it was turned on I could smell rubber, got a bit of smoke and saw bits off the piece that surrounds wehre the container connects with the base and seems some comes off the container too. all I can say is WTF???? I waited a few days - and just tried it again - and it did the same thing I am too tired from other things stressing me here to think -- need help/suggestions! Thanks all!!!!!
