What does Blendtec error: read / write error detected mean?

The control keeps settings and cycle data in memory and reads them back when it needs them. If it cannot read from or write to that memory, it shows Error: Read / Write error detected. The cause can be a brief interruption while data was being saved, or a memory problem on the board. The manual lists the message among the Reset Errors for the Stealth 875/885 and Connoisseur 825, with the action to press the cancel button or cycle power by unplugging the blender and plugging it back in, and to contact your Blendtec service agent if it does not clear. It lists no individual causes. A one-time glitch will usually clear with the reset, while a repeating error suggests the memory or the board has a problem. The display reads exactly Error: Read / Write error detected.

How a technician diagnoses error: read / write error detected

Read the error and note whether it repeats after a reset.
Check the supply for dips and noise.
Reload the factory settings or cycles if the manufacturer's procedure allows.
Check the board memory and connections.
Replace the board if the read and write errors persist.

! Leave this to a technician

Reloading control data needs the manufacturer's procedure and the shop's own cycle settings.
Board replacement means opening the base connected to line voltage.
A repeating memory error needs bench-level testing.
