For emergency repairs keep the mixie mixer grinder jar upside down and pour some cooking oil into the space where the motor coupler is. Pour just enough oil to keep the level of oil to below the rubber or plastic motor coupler. Leave aside for a few minutes and then twist the rubber or plastic motor coupler with the help of a plier or similar hand tools. The first few turns will be very tight, but once it starts turning a few times it will loosen up. While doing this the jar should be upside down with a little oil under the rubber plastic motor coupling to lubricate the mixie mixer grinder jar blades.
Once the jar blade moves freely, you can put it on the Motor base and run it empty for a few seconds at a time, till the mixer jar blade runs freely. You can use penetrating lubricants like WD40 instead of cooking oil and it will work faster. After the mixie jar has loosened you must first mix some water alone and throw it off. This is to clean the jar.
To prevent Mixer jar blades from getting stuck, it is a good practice to put some fresh water in the jar and run it for a few seconds and throw away this water. Try your best not to wet the outside bottom of the mixer grinder jar where the mixer coupler is. Keep the blender jar upside down to allow water to drain away from the bearings.
When you have finished doing your grinding jobs for the day, the best way to clean the insides of the Mixie jar is to pour about a cupful of clean water from your water purifier into the mixer jar and then put it on the mixer motor and run it for about 10 seconds. This will make the insides of the mixer jar easier to clean. It is always a good practice to clean mixer jars immediately on finishing any grinding jobs. When cleaning the outside of the mixer jar make sure that you do not let water come in contact with the mixer jar motor coupling at the base of the mixer jar. Always twist the rubber coupler at the bottom of the jar to make sure it turns freely.
