Learn how to diagnose and fix a leaking blender jug by replacing the blade seal. Step-by-step guide for Russell Hobbs Aura and Go Create models.
Quick answer
If your blender jug is leaking from the bottom, the blade seal is likely worn or damaged. Replacing it with a compatible jug blade seal is a straightforward fix that can restore your blender without buying a new jug.
Why the blade seal fails
The blade seal sits between the blade assembly and the jug base, preventing liquid from seeping out during blending. Over time, constant exposure to moisture, heat, and friction can cause the rubber to harden, crack, or deform. Even a tiny split can lead to a slow drip or a full leak when the jug is full.
A leaking seal doesn't mean your blender is broken. It's a normal wear item, especially if you blend hot liquids, frozen ingredients, or run the blender frequently. Replacing the seal is cheaper and faster than replacing the entire jug.
What you need before you start
You'll need a replacement jug blade seal that fits your specific blender model. For Russell Hobbs Aura and Go Create blenders, the compatible seal is model-specific — check your blender's model number (usually on the base sticker) before ordering. The seal is a small rubber ring, so it's easy to misplace; work over a clean, dry surface.
No special tools are required. A flat-head screwdriver or butter knife can help pry off the old seal, but your fingers may be enough. You'll also want a cloth to wipe the blade assembly and jug base clean before fitting the new seal.
Diagnosis and replacement steps
- Symptom: Water or smoothie drips from the bottom of the blender jug during or after use. You may also notice residue around the blade base.
- Likely cause: The jug blade seal is cracked, hardened, or misaligned. This is common after months of regular use, especially with hot or acidic ingredients. If the leak is from the jug handle or a crack in the plastic, the seal won't help — you need a new jug.
- Corrective action: Unplug the blender. Remove the jug and turn it upside down. Unscrew the blade assembly (turn counterclockwise). Remove the old seal from the groove. Clean the groove and blade base. Fit the new seal, pressing it evenly into the groove. Reassemble and tighten the blade assembly. Test with water before using. If the jug still leaks after replacement, the blade assembly itself may be warped or the jug cracked. Stop and consider replacing the jug.
- When to stop or choose another option: If the blender jug is cracked, the blade assembly is bent, or the leak persists after a fresh seal, do not attempt further repairs. Replace the jug or blender for safety.
