Before assuming your Ninja is broken, make sure you’ve covered the basics:
If the power supply seems fine, the blinking light likely indicates an internal issue. Here are some common culprits:
Overheating
Blenders have a built-in sensor that will shut off the motor if things get too hot. Make sure vents aren’t blocked and let it cool off for 30-60 minutes before using again.
Stuck Blender
Food, ice or other debris could be lodged in the blades preventing them from spinning properly. Carefully remove any obstructions before trying again.
Electrical Issue
A power surge, faulty outlet or bad circuit could be causing the blinking light. Try using a different outlet or resetting the motor.
