KSB3 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

The instructions provided an easy repair. I just followed the recommended procedure and the repiar was a snap. Thanks for the quick delivery too, I really appreaciated that.

This is my favorite blender and I wasn't willing to buy a new one without trying to repair it. I have replaced other components of the motor but the grooves finally wore out and needed replacement so that the blades would rotate. I really didn't need the dome assembly but thought the new blades would be sharper so, might as well change it too. A flat head screwdriver was recommended for removal of the drive coupling. I found that it was digging grooves into the metal ring in the base - which would not have damaged the operation - so I took an old pair of (very dull) steel calipers, covered the ends and it popped right off. I had it up and running in less than five minutes.

When I googled the part I got a video of someone replacing it. It looked so easy I order the part and followed the instructions. Amazingly easy.Thank you.

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!

None needed.
