My kitchenmaid pitcher is stuck on the mixer. it still mixes, it won;t detach
The coupling on the motor has become bonded to the coupling on the beaker. Maybe it was moving about excessively and the 2 plastic parts have fused together. You can expect to have to replace the motor coupling and at the least the blade assembly or possibly the whole beaker depending on model. Knowing what you are up for needing to replace now if you wish to get it off put a litre of water in it, put the lid on and turn it on high and wobble, wriggle it about until it is able to be lifted off.
How do I remove the motor on kitchenaid Diamond blender, removing the coupler?
Put the base back on, determine which way the motor normally turns from the top when running. Drill a hole in the edge flange of the driving coupling. Stick a punch or screwdriver in the hole and whack the punch with a decent hammer to shock the coupling in the direction it normally will be turning. Sometimes it's a few whacks, sometimes a whole lot more but eventually they always come undone. Replace the coupling.
How do I check for power to motor?
If you have to ask how to do it then there is a good chance that you will not have the equipment to do the check and if you do have a meter you will be electrically unsafe doing it. For starters you need a multi meter, disconnect the motor from the speed control pcb and check it for a circuit. It is more likely that the motor or pcb will be faulty, cable faults on blenders are very rare but now you have your meter you can disconnect the cable from the pcb and check each wire for a circuit.
The blender will not turn on, the lights for each selection blink on and off but the blender will not spin.
Remove the bottom cover 1nd unplug the motor from the PCB, check the motor for a circuit with your multi meter. If the circuit is open then remove the motor and locate the thermal fuse attached to one of the field windings under the metal tie and tape for insulation. Test the fuse for a circuit, if it is open then you have 3 options, replace the whole motor, replace the thermal fuse only (it will need to be aftermarket as KA only supply motors complete) or just bypass the faulty fuse.

The motor will probably be open circuit, take it back under guarantee and let them sort it out. If you mess around you will void your guarantee.
