Blender Drive Coupling 9704230 with Spanner Kit, Replacement Parts for KSB5WH4 KSB5 KSB3 Blenders Replaces WP9704230VP WP9704230 PS11746921 AP6013694

It was an easy fix. I looked up a YouTube video. Parts were exact fit for my Kitchenaid Blender

Works like a new one. Couldn’t be happier.

Perfect match for replacement. Very quick delivery.

My kitchen aid mixer is about 20 years old. I had a repair shop fix the original broken coupler about 10 years ago. When it broke again, I bought a $20 plastic blender which is nice and light weight. With the many DIY videos out there and replacement parts available on Amazon, I pulled out my old blender and decided to try to repair it myself. I watched a bunch of DIY videos and bought this 2-pack with a spanner. Most of the videos showed the coupler easily being replaced and a lot of reviews here say it is easy as well. My old coupler was not easy to remove. I used the spanner that came with the coupler to stabilize the screw, but the old coupler would not budge. You need to make some adjustments to get the spanner to fit correctly but it definitely fits perfectly. In the end, my solution was to use the spanner to keep the screw in place and then I had use an adjustable wrench to twist the coupler until it finally came off. I didn’t want to strip the threads of the screw by forcing it off with a flat head screwdriver (which a lot of the videos used). I also used the spanner to hold the screw in place so I could screw on the new replacement coupler. I recommend buying this coupler pack with the spanner - for me, the spanner was essential.

I like that it works.

If you own a Kitchenaid Blender that you use often, you know that this part wears away after frequent use. This is a very economical way to keep using your blender. I have to replace this part maybe every 6 months, so a two pack lasts the year. Very good value and the little tool that is included is very handy for easy removal and replacement of this part. Highly recommended - and so much cheaper than replacing your blender!!

The outside of "spanner" was too wide to fit, so it got trimmed down, and then it fit. The new coupler is working so far, and I have spares for when it doesn't. It is a little taller than the original and holds the container up off the base, making it noisier.

My wife was using our blender when the original coupler gave up and fell apart. She threw the blender in the trash. When I got home, I pulled it back out and with a small investment in this part, the blender was as good as new.
