KSB5WH3 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Per directions, I pried the drive off the screw. I was surprised that the drive came off the screw by just a prying action, but that's how it's done. The metal base to the drive is softer than the screw so there was no stripping of the screw threads. Then I just threaded the new drive onto the screw and done.

The longest time spent was in getting the part out of the package and reading the directions. All told it took less than 5 minutes.

The rubber part of the drive appears to be very brittle as it chipped off the drive gears. But it was easy to repair and they do last about 5 years.

Use the purpose made wrench to hold the drive shaft while unscrewing the broken coupler from the drive shaft. The shaft has a left hand thread, so turn the coupler clockwise to remove it from the drive shaft. Then screw the new coupler onto the drive shaft, turning it counter-clockwise. That's it!

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

used 2oz. gasket hammer tapped drive coupler clockwise and ,
R&R coupler.

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.

The instructions provided an easy repair. I just followed the recommended procedure and the repiar was a snap. Thanks for the quick delivery too, I really appreaciated that.

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 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

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 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.

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.

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

None needed.

I watched the video on the website and I realized I could repair a $100.00 blender myself, for under $20.00! So, so easy and the part came in two days. Great company, Thanks!

To start with the coupling, I followed the directions by using a flat screwdriver and a thick towel. I placed the towel under the screwdriver to protect the base unit from damage as I pivoted 1/2 of the tip under the coupling, pulling it up as I went around until the coupling popped off. Then I cleaned the remainder of any metal left behind. Then I attempted to screw the coupling on clockwise but the screw opening was slightly to small. So I plugged in the unit and held the coupling with the screwdriver in place and turn the unit on stir and it screwed it on clockwise.
Next, the seal was replaced at the bottom of the jar. And I was finished. Easy as pie.

Part is left hand thread. Use screwdriver to lock motor fins and twist off part.
