3. Slow moving blades

Out of the many common mixer grinder problems, one is slow moving blades.

    I have to hold the lid of my jar while the mixer runs or it throws everything out. I bought it outside a railway station, but it is far from my home so I can’t return/replace it now. I was able to fix my slow-moving blade problem though.
