KSB-5 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Exactly as described in installation instructions included with new coupling. Great feeling hearing the sound of the motor and fruit being chopped. Mission accomplished!

I was going to throw this expensive blender in the trash but decided to buy the part instead. I'm sure happy that I found this part dealer and was able to fix the blender since it was quite an expensive item. I watched the video on how to replace the coupler and I was able to replace the coupler within minutes and the only tool needed was a screwdriver. I just gently and patiently worked the old one out and basically screwed on the new one. It was very easy and a woman can easily master this repair! I did.

used 2oz. gasket hammer tapped drive coupler clockwise and ,
R&R coupler.

This was quite simple and easy to replace.

Just follow directions included with part, very simple and understandable. GOOD BUSINESS, THANK YOU

I tried turning defective coupler off after inserting a narrow screw driver into the motor fan bladed. That did not work. I then used a wide bladed flat-head screw driver to pry the defective coupler disc off the motor shaft. After prying each side over and over, the old coupler base broke free. I cleaned the remnants of the base from the threaded shaft and then screwed the new coupler on only finger tight. It went on easily. For less than $15.00 (including shipping) we now have a working blender that hopefully will last another 10 years.

A 5/16" thin wrench fits the shaft beneath the coupling. The shaft has a flat side on it. The coupling comes of easily turning clock-wise for the reverse threads..

Use the purpose made wrench to hold the drive shaft while unscrewing the broken coupler from the drive shaft. The shaft has a left hand thread, so turn the coupler clockwise to remove it from the drive shaft. Then screw the new coupler onto the drive shaft, turning it counter-clockwise. That's it!

followed on line instructions. Real easy to do. Now I have my blender back.

pry rubber up enough for vice grips, unscrew coupling,left hand threads,screw on new. Came with instructions, in English.

I watched the video on the website and I realized I could repair a $100.00 blender myself, for under $20.00! So, so easy and the part came in two days. Great company, Thanks!

To start with the coupling, I followed the directions by using a flat screwdriver and a thick towel. I placed the towel under the screwdriver to protect the base unit from damage as I pivoted 1/2 of the tip under the coupling, pulling it up as I went around until the coupling popped off. Then I cleaned the remainder of any metal left behind. Then I attempted to screw the coupling on clockwise but the screw opening was slightly to small. So I plugged in the unit and held the coupling with the screwdriver in place and turn the unit on stir and it screwed it on clockwise.
Next, the seal was replaced at the bottom of the jar. And I was finished. Easy as pie.

None needed.

I followed the included instructions.

Removal of the old coupling was easily done by gently prying it up. The threads on ot are much softer that the shaft.

Screwed the new coupling on and done.

I also bought two of these couplings as the rubber on it WILL break off again.

Simply to find the look of dismay in her face. After I violently began shaking and dismantling the compactor in disgust. I decided to unplug it from the wall, I then gathered my senses and began to perform a electrical diagnosis and found that the rotary swich contacts, which activates the compactor, had gone bad. I simply went to the website and selected my part # from the detailed spec sheet. I chose to receive the package on a three day shipment. Here it arrived, installed the part and away the problem went. While on the parts list I included bag brackets that had broke over time and now my compactor is like new.
