KSB5WH4 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Just like the directions said: Pried up and off and replaced. Had done this once before. No problems.

tear the rubber piece off the metal wheel that it fits over.take a flat blade screwdriver and tap it several times where the holes in the metal housing are clockwise(important,NOT counter clockwise)and it will come free.then simply screw new rubber piece on the thread.easy.

Repair was really easy. I was going to bend the metal plate that used to be covered with rubber and had the cogs that coupled the base unit to the upper unit, so I could get an small ignition wrench on the nut under the plate. It did not need to be bent very much. However when I bent the plate upwards it loosened it on the motor shaft and I could unscrew it from the shaft by hand. Just be aware that it has left hand threads. All that was needed was a small screwdriver inserted through the bottom of the base into the fan blades to keep the shaft from turning. I removed the old coupler and screwed on the new part. It only needs to be finger tight since the rotation of the motor will tighten it with use. Again, remember it has left hand threads. A really simple and inexpensive repair that saved having to buy a new blender. PartSelect has saved me several times from having to replace an appliance when all that was needed was an inexpensive part.

wasn't quite so easy to get the knob off but easy to attach and fix. works like new and the part came so quickly.

Pried off old and screwed on new as instructed

Followed instructions which were included with the new drive coupling. Used the screwdriver to pop the old one off then screwed the new one on. Very easy!

Watched video on your site and followed the instructions shown. It was very simple to do.

Used a screw driver to pry off the old drive coupling and and reset the new one. Pretty easy. The prying off was the hardest part for me, but I have R.A. so I am sure that was a contributing factor.

Thought I would have to throw my blender out just thinking about the repair process! But when I received the part and the instructions got my screwdriver thinking I was going to break it further and it was done in less than 10 minutes!!! The rubber part just popped up and out and the other part screwed off quickly. screwed in the new one and done.. YES!!! I tried out the blender and it worked. I now know where Im getting my blender parts from now on, THANKS

Just popped the old one out using a screw driver... and put the new one on. "Piece Of Cake" ! Thank You, Diana

Great service, the part came quickly and the instructions were great. Blender was working withing 30 minutes of the part arriving. Thank you.

unscrewed the old, screwed on the new.

Inserted a long thin screwdriver into motor fan blades to keep motor shaft from turning (lay motor on side). Hand turned coupler CLOCKWISE to unscrew, and then installed new coupler by turning counter-clockwise. Time involved was about 2 minutes. Supper , supper easy.

I search the net and found instructions on using a screwdriver underneath to stop the fan/moter from turning. Just insert screwdriver between blades. I then us a channel lock plier to screw off the old drive coupler (reverse threads) Not much pressure required. Done in 30 seconds. I screwed on the new drive coupler. Done in 10 seconds. I was relived to find the solution to be so simple. I was very unhappy at first when i thought a simple plastic drive coupler may result in trashing a very good and well built blender. Kind of like a 'O' ring on the space shuttle. Glad I didn't have to go there.

Change the part but I must say, the video adjacent the part convinced me it would be easy to install. Exceptionally well presented, I will be referring your site to those I encounter needing parts or small repairs.
Those not having reviewed the video would likely have received the part and discovered they could not obtain a wrench thin enough to reach the nut on the shaft and tossed it and the blender out, or they would have had to take the sealed unit apart or attempted to put something into the propeller shaft only to further damage the unit.
Who would have thought the old part could have been so easily removed in 10 min. and replaced. Thanks so much, we had gotten attached to the appliance and they certainly don’t make them like it anymore. JimG
