Won’t Turn On

The Bella Juicer will not power on when the knob is turned to LO or HI.

Locking Arm Not Engaged

If you turn the machine on and nothing happens, one possible problem is that the safety locking arm isn’t engaged. If the locking arm isn’t in the correct place, the juicer won’t turn on. To engage the locking arm, make sure to snap it into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover. Once it is securely in place the machine should turn on.

Power Cord Not Plugged In

Check to see if the cord is plugged into an outlet. If the device still won't turn on, check to see if any part of the cord looks broken or damaged.

Damaged Motor

The motor may need to be replaced.

Empty Juice Cup

Juice won’t come out of the spout when the juicer is operating.

Pulp Container Full

Carefully remove the pulp container and empty it.

Blocked Blade Basket

Clear feed tube and clean blade basket of pulp.

Overly Pulpy Juice

Too much pulp is in the juice coming out of the juicer.

Strainer Full

Take out the strainer and clean it out using warm water and soap. Be careful doing this as the cutter teeth are sharp.

Damaged Strainer

The strainer may be damaged or have a hole in it. inspect the strainer and determine if it is torn or ripped.

Loaded Blades

Ensure the blades are clean and not clogged full of pulp. Be careful not to injure yourself as the blades are quite sharp.

Grinding Noises

During normal operations of the Bella juicer, it makes an odd grinding noise.

Loose Motor Mount

If there is a grinding noise coming from the juicer, the potential problem could be a loose motor mount.

Loose Blade Basket

Ensure the blade basket is properly seated.

Plastic Odor and Excessive Heat Coming from the Device

A plastic odor comes from the juicer when it is running.

Worn or Broken Motor

I bought my Bella high power juicer several years ago but never used it. Today, I took it out and read all instructions, and saw some demonstration videos and started juicing on high speed. Worked nice for the first 2 carrots and I switched it up to prepare the second batch of vegetables. I did and tried to start it to no avail. The light is on, it’s not hot to the touch, no smoke or plastic smell. It just stopped. Please help.

Thank you.
