The site was easy to navigate. I quickly found the part that I needed to replace, ordered it, and it was here in just a few days and I was able to use my Kitchenaid Food processor again. I will definately use this site again for any appliance parts I need. Much less expensive than replacing small appliances!
Handle of old bowl fell apart disabling food processor
New bowl arrived. Matched model number as described. Put new bowl on base, slid it into position, safety switched engaged and food processor worked. Simple easy, quick.
I used 3, 3/4" x 2" x 4" blocks of wood (to protect the motor housing) and a carpenters 6" pry bar to remove the broken blade and the shaft sleeve from the shaft; 1st one side then the other side until the damaged sleeve was off. Cleaned the shaft with steel wool , vacuumed out the steel wool and applied a coating of light oil on the shaft. Using a rubber mallet I gently tapped the sleeve in to place. The new blade then just dropped into place.
I ordered a new large bowl from Partselect and replaced the broken bowl. The bowl fit perfectly and works very well. I also replaced a broken extension stem with a replacement stem from Partselect, and that worked well for about week, then it too also broke the same way the original did. Perhaps the item was just not meant to handle shredding cheese.
