Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Blender Drive Coupler (Part Number: OEM18041091)

1 Answer

Linda, The coupler should not just lift off of the shaft. If the coupler just lifted off you will need to try to get the metal piece unscrewed. This would be the only way to do it without ruining the motor shaft.

SAK, The correct part number for the drive coupler is WP9704230 it's pretty common to most if not all WP blenders. Yes you will need to remove the metal disc from the motor shaft in order to replace and install the replacement coupler. In your case, you'll probably have to remove the lower base panel, hold the motor armature in position and turn the remainder of the coupler ( metal disc) clockwise to remove. The drive shaft and coupler have "reversed" threads so the coupler tightens as the motor spins.
