Indicators to this issue:

Noise of machine changes from spinning to a "free spinning" sound which is significantly louder
plastic burning smell emitted
Chunks of plastic remain in the engine base docking area.
Brown liquid in the base area
If all of these are happening then the cause is that your blade was probably submerged in water at some time with heat. This has popped the seal on the bearing case and the lubricant has leaked and now the bearing is rusting and can't handle the heat being generated from the speed of rotation.
The test is to blend a water only smoothie and see if the water changes colour to a dirty brown, if so the bearing seal is gone and the water + rust is leeching into the smoothie.

Stop use immediately buy a new blade assembly.

Learnings:

don't put the blade in the dishwasher - the rapid heating and cooling breaches the bearing seal.

don't submerge or leave submerged the blade assembly

Verdict - the blade assembly is not a well constructed part considering it's high speed use and need for bearing integrity. It is very susceptible to damage and water ingress.

Please Accept my answer by providing you with the best possible solution. Would be more glade.
THANK YOU

The burnt smell and grinding sound coming from your Cuisinart BFP-703 blender could be caused by a number of things. Here are a few possibilities:

The motor is overheating. If you're blending ingredients that are very hot or dense, the motor can overheat and start to smoke. This can also happen if you're blending for a long period of time.

The blades are dull. Dull blades can't cut through ingredients as easily, which can cause them to heat up and smoke.

There's something stuck in the blades. If there's something stuck in the blades, it can prevent them from spinning properly and cause them to heat up and smoke.

To fix the burnt smell and grinding sound, try the following:

Let the motor cool down. If the motor is overheating, turn off the blender and let it cool down for a few minutes before using it again.

Sharpen the blades. If the blades are dull, sharpen them with a file or a sharpening stone.

Check for something stuck in the blades. If there's something stuck in the blades, remove it with a toothpick or a butter knife.

If you've tried all of these things and the blender is still making a burnt smell and grinding sound, then it's possible that the motor is damaged. In this case, you'll need to contact Cuisinart for a replacement motor.

Here are some additional tips to help prevent your blender from overheating and smoking:

Don't blend hot or dense ingredients for long periods of time. If you're blending something that's very hot or dense, blend it for a shorter period of time.

Let the blender cool down between uses. If you're blending multiple batches of ingredients, let the blender cool down for a few minutes between uses.

Clean the blender regularly. Buildup of food and debris can cause the blender to overheat and smoke. Be sure to clean the blender regularly with warm water and dish soap.

By following these tips, you can help prevent your Cuisinart BFP-703 blender from overheating and smoking.
