Drive gear is slipping. Motor turns but the blade fails to turn
Gears and blade turns when there is nothing in blender. but when I try to blend anything in it, the motor turns and the blade is stationary. Is this repairable. I dont see any screws to take apart the case to look inside.

Sounds like a shear pin either on the motor or the blade assembly. If you put the blender on low without the cannister on top touch the gear on top of the unit and see if the gear slips or stops. Use a pencil or something..Not your finger. If it stoops then the pin is broken at the motor. If not, it is broken at the blade unit.

More than likely there should be some holes in the bottom of the blender where you can insert a screwdriver (probably a phillips head) . Take those screws out and it should come apart.
