5KSB5553EER0 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Just swapped out parts and no more leak. I figured out the leak was around the blades and the nut holding it together wasn't staying tight. New parts fit perfect. No tools.

I decided to see if I could dislodge the faulty coupling. I placed a screw driver under the coupling and pushed up. It dislodged. Subsequently I found a youtube video that indicated that was exactly what I should do.
I ordered the part from parts select and placed the coupling on my blender. It screws in counterclockwise. It works ... Read more fine. I am very satisfied.

Just unscrew the jar from the collar and screw the new collar with the jar aagain.

Replaced the timer

Twist the bottom collar off toss in trash receptacle. Install new collar, insure seal is properly seated and twist on, it will be a tad hard at first but will loosen with use. When you clean the collar check to make sure the nut is tight to insure life long use. Or you will be purchasing another unit very soon.

to replace the coupling you take the bottom off the blender and loosen the screws that hold the bracket and fan -then comes the hard part-the shaft screw is bolted through every bit of the guts then into the coupling. It is a lefthand thread. I ended up having to fabricate a piece of metal that slipped into the top of the coupling (in the ... Read more teeth.) Then I secured the metal piece-it was just a twi inch piece of steel- in the vise, I held the blender and I got a big guy to attack the shaft bolt with a bunch of pressure and a straight screwdriver. It finally popped and I was able to unscrew the old coupling and replace it with the new. Reminds of when guys put on lug nuts and I have to try and get them off. But I saved at least $100.

Easily done -- fit perfectly and looks great! I'm not a "handy" person and found this to be super simple and did the job!

So sad when I forgot to take the spoon out of my nice new blender, causing it to break the jar! But, for a fair price and a few short days of waiting, Partselect sent me a new jar. The smoothies are pouring once again!

No installation required. The new collar came with the sealing ring, locking collar and blade assembly - everything needed in one piece. I just put it on the base and attached the pitcher.

Inserted the replacement rubber blender foot in to the socket. Simply pushed it in. Fit snugly. Thanks for being one of the only places you can get a replacement rubber blender foot!

I ordered a new jar from Parts Direct and it came fast and well wrapped, I washed it and used it ASAP! Thank you!

Very easy, the only issue was the time it took to receive the replacement part....!
