Jack lalane juicer thread goes bad killing the juicer
Yes, i have the same problem.
I called the Jack lalnane parts department and they told me the only options i have is to buy the motor.
i responded by letting them know that it will happen again because the part is platic and cannot hande the toruqe - the customer service rep responded by saying that i tightened it too much and i reponded and let him know that its not the tightening and the torque is too much for the plastic thread and buying a a new motor is not going to solve the issue, they need to come up with a replcement that will fix this problem once and for all.
For now i will not buy a jack lalane juicer because this seem like a scam, the juicer i great and has a flaw in its design that disable it completely - seems like a money grab to me and looks like all the big stores are carrying a product they may losose on - buying another motor will not fix the problem - Jack shoul step up to the plate an provide a permanent fix - i will not buy the product and will share this with others.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! unless the plastic drive srew is replaced with a metal one.
I feel he same way about the part that holds the plastic thread as you do. I have not used my juicer that much and I did not tighten it too tight but the plastic thread still got stuck up in the orange basket. I will not buy another juicer. For that much money it should last a lifetime
You are absolutely right. I have the same problem and I do not agree on buying a complete new motor! I guess I will put my juicer in the attic until a solution comes out... Dennis
