George Foreman Mix & Go Questions & Answers

I used a tea towel to hold the blades as they are sharp and I unscrewed the gasket on other side...take the gasket and washers off and wash, let dry and put back together.

I’m not sure but that doesn’t sound right... I would check in the rim of the blade lid as there is a rubber ring - if that has dislodged it may have made that burning smell?? And if dislodged it may not work properly... otherwise I would take it back where I got it and see if it could be replaced as it may be a defect in the product??

I don't think it is unusual for the blade rim to be warm especially after use but if it doesn't appear to be working as it did I would definitely take it back.

There is not a reset as far as I know. I have had my machine get a bit hot and I have solved this by using it in short bursts. Also if you move the mixture around a bit it is better. Makes me wonder if tuna and avocado are not liquid enough for this type of blender!

Great - thanks, pretty sure its toast as it wont restart.

Did you really think it is going to mix tuna? Mix and go is to make drinks!!!!! I use it for fruit drinks only. I mix frozen fruit with a little juice or water. It only gets a bit warm if too much is loaded into the container. Apart from my dust buster...this is the best piece of machinery I own!!!!

Mines done exactly the same thing, did you work it out?

Sorry, I'm not sure. I would contact them directly and ask for parts: http://www.georgeforeman.com.au/contact.aspx

Ummm...I don't sell the product. I just buy it.

If you are wondering, when you buy it, it comes with two containers.

Yes Claire . It comes with two containers but you can buy extras separately

This is what it says on the box...
Additional 600ml bottles sold separately.
Available in 4 colours.

By lid do you mean the blade attachment?
If so, and its stuck to the base of the blender,
First unplug the blender.
Use your bottle (making sure it's completely dry), twist it back on the blade assembly tightly(clockwise). When you feel that it's tight enough, twist it anticlockwise. You should feel a little give and it should come out as usual.

Thank you

Did you find that this worked? Mines still stuck and I don't know how else to get it off

Hi Sharon, no I have not had this problem.
Make sure the rubber seal is still in the base and that it's clean and sitting flush.

Make sure that the seal is not twisted. Can easily happen when refitting if it comes out when washing.

Its probe leaking thought spindle shaft o ring on the blades and not the rubber seal on the glass jug. I've had 2 replaced now but being a plumber have worked out how to fix it. you undo to blade assembly it has a backwards thread so you will undo it opposite way to turning a tap on. then pull the shaft out and grease it up with some silicone grease on the o ring aswel then put it back together. Seems to work fine now

When you twist the bottle and push it downwards this makes it go on, and then you can twist it the other way to stop it. There's an arrow on the motor part and on the blade part that have to line up to make it go (which I gather you've already discovered if yours goes) and you just un-align them to make it stop and you can then remove the blade and bottle. Hope that helps. Cheers.

This answer is insufficient

Suggest you contact the George Foreman website. I have the Mix and Go Pro which may be slightly different from your model as mine has 4 options and has the blender jug as well as the bottle.

As I live in New Zealand I am unable to give you an answer. Suggest you go back to the shop you bought it from and they should be able to advise you on what best to do. Good luck.

In NZ needapart.co.nz have replacement bases listed at NZ$21.95

return it to place of purchase for a refund

I used to do ice and also nuts in mine and found that both would not completely crush. What I would do was start and stop the unit at the wall switch a few times. I would run for about five seconds and then let it settle for a few seconds and then run it again. Then run it for about a minute before finishing. Found that the large majority of the nuts/ice would get chopped up. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Hi, I haven't tried the jug yet perhaps I should. The original bottle works well but the additional bottle leaks. I got in touch with George Foreman and I believe a replacement is being sent to me.

Try to add a bit of water, juice or any liquid.

You are taking about the mix and go pro with the 800watt motor. If you are call the distributor their name is Spectrum Brands Australia 03 8551 5000, it should work better than that

http://www.georgeforeman.com.au/files/prod_manual_file_417.pdf here is the manual :)

It is a blender you make carrot smoothies or other nice ones.

I don't seperate it to clean it, just rinse the whole thing or fill with soap and water and blend :-)

Same I was confused but I just rinse with water as soon as I'm done mixing

I'm having the same problem! Bottles don't seem to be compatible at all with the mix n go pro???

Did you buy the correct brand spare bottle? I got two bottles and it fits both perfectly

I bought 5 spares no dramas with any. Check the black o-ring is in place to prevent leaks? Mine fall out in the dishwasher and stuff
