Hold the drive shaft steady, and start turning the stud clockwise with pliers or wrench clockwise until it is tight.

Blender Became Unplugged
Check that your blender is plugged into a working outlet. You may have to test the outlet.
Motor Overheating
The blender has a thermal fuse that activates and turns off the blender when the motor overheats it order to cool itself down. Unplug your blender for 15 minutes so the motor can cool down. This process will reset the fuse and you will be able to use your blender again.
Faulty Motor
If your blender jar is secure and the blender is still not turning back on you may have a faulty motor. In this case, you will need to buy a new motor for your blender.
