Kathy September 01, 2012 for Model Number Kitchen Aid blender KSB5MC4 The part that sits on the top of the blender base and spins - I think that's the base coupler? - has been stripped and needs replacement. I don't see parts for my model blender. Can you help? Thanks - K
Erin June 28, 2012 for Model Number ksb540er0 Both my base coupling and the part that spins with the blade are stripped. Where can I find the blade attachment?
1 Answer Erin, the blade and base assembly is only available with the jar 9709940 that has been discontinued. For the coupling you will use part number WPW10279256. Thanks! Read More...
Russ March 24, 2012 for Model Number ksb560mco hello i have video about tapping coupler but does not come loose ? anything else maybe ?
1 Answer Russ, The other method, is a bit "dicey", slip the end of a flat blade screwdriver under the outer lip of the coupling, " With the blender facing you, insert a flat blade screw driver between the black drive coupler and the blender housing: approximately 1/2 inch. Raise up on the screw driver; this will bend the drive coupler up . Turn the coupler approximately 1/4 turn and repeat raising the screw driver higher each time. Continue this until the coupler comes off the motor shaft. This is usually accomplished in 3 or 4 attempts." You have to be careful and try and limit the damage to the housing. Hope this will work for you, otherwise, you'll need to remove the base, hold the motor shaft,so it doesn't turn and remove the coupler from the shaft. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Wade December 10, 2011 for Model Number KSRB560 I would like to know what the part number is for the drive coupler on the blender jar that fits this imparticular coupling AP4500686. I've searched all over this site and all I can find is the old paddle style reciever. The model number I provided for my kitchenaid blender may be a referbished model number so it may not match the actual model number to the blender I have. I work for Whirlpool and bought it at a refirb sale and those products may be givin model numbers that represent referbishment.
1 Answer Hello Wade. WPW10555711 is the part number for the jar assembly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dailykosak October 31, 2011 for Model Number KSB560ER0 I am having difficulty removing the old coupler. When I remove the base, there is nothing to anchor the motor with. simply sticking a screwdriver in does not seem to work, nor does gripping the fan blades. I can get a grip on the coupler with some pliers and it turns freely, but the motor just spins with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Mitch July 20, 2011 for Model Number KSB560OB0 This is a follow-up on my previous question (incidentally, it would be nice if one could reply to your answers given rather than starting a new question). Sorry I did not give you the whole model number previously. I have this time, KSB560OB0. The instructions you gave me are the same ones as in the forum for part number AP2930430. Do they really apply to this coupler as well? It is different than AP2930430 for which you have given these instructions. thanks, Mitch
1 Answer Hello Mitch. Unplug the machine. Open the blender case (screws are under the rubber feet). Keep the shaft from turning by loosely sticking a screwdriver up into the motor. Remove the old broken rubber clutch by gripping it with a pair of pliers and unscrewing it CLOCKWISE. Screw the new part in place, remove the screwdriver, and reassemble the unit. Hope this helps.

Mitch July 20, 2011 for Model Number ksb560 The instructions on the forum for replacing the coupler don't seem to apply to this coupler. Do you have instructions for removing and reinstalling this particular coupler? Thanks

Fern D. March 24, 2011 for Model Number KSB5600B To replace the base Coupling, is it just removed by the 4 screws on the underside at the leg areas?
