- Speed control problems
The Vitamix Vita-Prep 3 is a three horsepower food prep blender, model 62826. Restaurants use it for soups, sauces and purees all day.
Pull the plug before lifting the container or touching the blade area. A motor that stops from overheating may have a heavy load or poor airflow around the base. A leak at the blade assembly means a worn seal or a loose retainer. Noise points to a worn drive socket.
A Vita-Prep takes hard daily use, so sockets and seals eventually wear. A written price comes first, and we are honest when a repair is not worth making. We also look at the container and its seals.

The Vita-Prep 3 is also listed as 62826. The data plate shows the model, and we use it to confirm blades, sockets and seals.
Why does the Vita-Prep cut out?
The motor may have overheated from a heavy load or poor airflow. Let it cool, use smaller loads, and call us if it repeats. Ask us anything first.
How do I know the drive socket is worn?
The blender gets loud, vibrates or slips under load. We inspect the socket and blade assembly with the unit unplugged. The socket is a small, inexpensive part on this blender.
