KSB3 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

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 ... Read more 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.

Followed the enclosed directions, Pried the drive coupling off the shaft with a screwdriver, cleaned the soft metal chips off the threaded shaft and screwed on the new coupler.

My husband actually did the repair and he simply followed the instruction that came along with the Coupling part ordered. Within 10 minutes, he was done with his repair. We were both happy and surprised. I thought it would be difficult for him to do it and I initially wanted to just buy a brand new blender rather than trouble ourselves ... Read more with doing the repair. With the cost of $15.00 inclusive of shipping cost, the blender is working perfectly and we were able to save money. We are happy with our order and would definitely recommend others to do the same thing. In only takes a few minutes to place the order on-line, about two days for shipping, and about 10 minutes for the repair... What a relief! Thank you to part Select.com :) Deb and Don Dominguez

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

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.

This was quite simple and easy to replace.

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

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..

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 ... Read more 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.

As per instructions provided plus other internet advice, we used a large (10 in) flat blade screw driver to pry and remove the existing damaged coupling. There was a small amount of aluminum thread residue left from the old coupling on the motor shaft. We removed this debris, 'lefty tighty'd' the new one and we were blending again! Really ... Read more simple. We thought about making a 7MM wrench, then we went to our bicycle repair tools, but we the smallest Shimano we had was 10MM. All is well, we have used the blender 3 times with ice and thick stuff with no problems.

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 ... Read more 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.

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

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

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.

None needed.
