Kitchenaid Blender KSB-5 Touchpad does not respond

The Kitchen Aid Blender Drive Coupler is an OEM part for Whirlpool blenders, specifically designed to connect the motor to the blender's blade assembly. This small but crucial component is responsible for transmitting the rotational force necessary for blending operations. Made from durable materials, it is engineered to withstand the stresses of frequent use.

Symptoms of a bad Blender Drive Coupler include:

• The blender’s blades not rotating despite the motor running
• Unusual noises during blender operation
• Visible wear or stripping on the coupler

Causes of a bad drive coupler can stem from overloading the blender, misalignment of the blade assembly, or simply natural wear and tear from repeated use.

This OEM part is also compatible with KitchenAid and certain models of Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore blenders.

The Dome and Blade Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool blenders. This assembly includes both the dome cover and the blade, which work together to blend ingredients efficiently. The dome ensures that contents are contained within the blender jar while the blade chops, purees, and mixes the ingredients to the desired consistency.

Causes of a bad dome and blade assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from blending hard or frozen items, or corrosion and dulling of the blade over time. These issues can lead to decreased performance and the potential for leaks.

Symptoms of a bad dome and blade assembly include:

• Reduced blending efficiency or inconsistent results
• Leaks from the base of the blender jar
• Unusual noises during operation
• Visible damage or dullness of the blade

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Foot is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This component is designed to provide stability and support to the mixer, ensuring it remains steady during operation. Positioned at the base of the mixer, the foot helps to prevent movement and vibration, which can enhance the efficiency of mixing and protect your countertop from scratches.

Symptoms of a failing Foot include:

• The mixer wobbling or moving excessively during use
• Increased noise or vibration when the mixer is running
• Visible wear, cracks, or deformation of the foot pad
• Scratches or damage to the countertop surface beneath the mixer

Causes of a bad foot can include prolonged use that wears down the material, exposure to heat or kitchen chemicals that degrade the foot, or physical damage from moving or storing the mixer.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid stand mixers.
