Hi everyone,
I have a Vitamix Ascent A3500i that I bought in December 2022.
Although I have owned it for almost 4 years, I have actually used it for less than 3 years in total, and not every day.
Recently, I started noticing a strange smell coming from the motor. I would describe it as a burning, electrical or varnish-like smell.
The blender still works normally, and I don’t notice any unusual noise or loss of power. What I find strange is that I notice the smell more when blending more liquid mixtures, while I don’t notice it when making thick cashew cream.
Has anyone with an A3500 or A3500i experienced something similar?
