New in Package KitchenAid Blender Coupling - 9704230 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife's aunt broke the piece by pushing down on the blender while it was running.This may be true on cheaper unit that may be unstable but this was a bad thing to do on the KitchenAid unit.It ended up breaking a few teeth on the coupling.I thought I'd have to dump the unit and buy a new one but some research pointed me to this replacement unit.Replacing it was a piece of cake.Take a flathead screw driver and point it at a 45 degree angle against one of the left over teeth on the angled side and hit the screw driver sharply with a hammer.You need to do it such that when it hit, the piece will turn "clockwise" which will unscrew it.It's a reverse thread so it's NOT lefty-loosy and righty-tighty but the opposite.One or two hits will loosen the coupling so you can unscrew it and screw on the new one.Presto!!!$10 fix vs $100 new unit.
