you are using your KitchenAid blender and it stops blending, you may think there is a problem with the motor in your machine. However, a common reason for the blades not rotating in the blender is a dirty or faulty coupler. The coupler is what connects your blender dispenser to the motor, and you can easily replace the coupler at any time by only using a screwdriver.
Things You'll Need
-
- 1
Turn the blender dispenser clockwise and lift up to remove it. Set the blender dispenser aside.
- 2
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the black drive coupler and the frame of the blender on the top center portion of the blender.
- 3
Lift the screwdriver upward, and the coupler will start to bend out of place. Slightly turn the coupler and then lift up on the screwdriver again.
- 4
Continue to move the coupler slightly and lift the screwdriver until the coupler is completely removed.
- 5
Insert the new coupler over the blender's motor blade and then twist the coupler counter-clockwise until it is tightly fastened.
