KSB580CR0 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

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 turned the blender over and pulled off the 4 rubber feet exposing the screws. I then took out the four foot screws. The bottom cover comes off exposing the control panel. I undid the three connections and just pushed (gently) the control panel out--might have to exert a little pressure on the two opposing clips that hold the control panel in. Then I popped the new control panel in and reconnected the three connectors. Put the bottom cover back on and put back the four screws and popped the rubber feet back in. WaLa---it worked!

The screw embedded in the polymer coupling had broken free so that it was not rotating on the threads; I had to destroy the old one by breaking it to small pieces, starting with the rim to get it out of the housing. Once off, the re-assembly was simple.

ordered the new jar and placed it on the blender! my pkg arrived quickly, packaging was great. great experience!

I tried the method of removing the base, putting the coupling in a vise and turning the shaft(reverse thread). I managed to spread the slot with the screw driver to the point it was no longer an option. I looked on You Tube for ideas and found one. With the base completely assembled, take a flat edged screw driver placed against the coupling (clockwise) strike the end of the screwdriver until the coupling loosens, turn coupling off by hand. I had to beat it, but it worked and now so does the blender.
