Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This drive coupling for your blender has reverse threads, and is used to spin the blender blades. The coupling connects the blender jar to the base. To replace this part, use a flat blade screwdriver to pry the coupling off, wipe the threads off with a dry cloth, and screw the new coupling on counter-clockwise. Make sure the blender is unplugged before beginning this repair.

Great Find to Fix the Problem
Fearing that I would need to purchase a whole new blender just because this small part had worn out, I was delighted to find a source for a replacement. The part arrived within just a few days and after reviewing the excellent "how to" video, I was able to remove the old piece and insert the new one with a minimum of effort and time spent. My blender is as good as new!

Correct OEM part, not sure of the installation instructions
It is hard to imagine that using the factory recommended technique of prying off a threaded part would even work. The old coupling is on rather tight, especially after years of use. I ignored those instructions and did the following: Pull out the 4 rubber feet from the bottom of the blender, and remove the 4 screws. The bottom of the motor is now easily accessible. Carefully using a large blade screwdriver, the motor can held in place while he drive coupling can be **easily** removed counter clockwise with Channel Locks. Install the new coupling (finger tight), reattach the bottom and you are back in Margaritaville.

drive coupler damage
used 2oz. gasket hammer tapped drive coupler clockwise and , R&R coupler.
I should have watched the video, and/or splurged and bought the little wrench to hold the motor shaft. To be clear, the video has you use a flat-head screw driver to PRY the old coupler off the threaded motor shaft - not to unscrew it. You might be able to unscrew it (particularly if you have the wrench), but my coupler would not unscrew
... Read moreeven after I used penetrating oil. Eventually, I used a pair of vice grips to pry it off - somewhat similar to the method employed in the video. I thought I would strip the threads on the shaft, but I did not. Then I simply screwed on (counter-clockwise) the new coupler and the blender is as good as ever.

Some of the driver coupler teeth broke
Use the purpose made wrench to hold the drive shaft while unscrewing the broken coupler from the drive shaft. The shaft has a left hand thread, so turn the coupler clockwise to remove it from the drive shaft. Then screw the new coupler onto the drive shaft, turning it counter-clockwise. That's it!

Plastic blender coupling ears broken off
Because the old coupling was so tightly screwed onto the shaft it was necessary to use very flat wire crimpers to slide between the old coupling and the blender housing to grip the shaft and immobilize it while pliers were used to grasp the old coupling and loosen it---rotate clockwise.

Rubber drive coupling disintegrated
A 5/16" thin wrench fits the shaft beneath the coupling. The shaft has a flat side on it. The coupling comes of easily turning clock-wise for the reverse threads..

My blender I bought at an estate sale needed a new drive coupling.
I used a straight edge screwdriver. At first my husband and I were afraid to much too much force behind the old coupling, but I figured it's no good the way it was so used more force and "pop" it came off. Then installed the new one and I love my blender!!

Coupler between base and container was stripped
I tried turning defective coupler off after inserting a narrow screw driver into the motor fan bladed. That did not work. I then used a wide bladed flat-head screw driver to pry the defective coupler disc off the motor shaft. After prying each side over and over, the old coupler base broke free. I cleaned the remnants of the base from the

I bought a new drive rubber coupler but before installing it I noticed a really tacky substance left over from the old coupler stuck to my blender. Should I clean this off, and if so … how?! I tried using normal dish soap and no luck so far.
Hi Yvonne, I’m sorry to hear that. We recommend trying a mild-medium cleaner. Make sure to get the area nice and damp and then try scrapping it off. If this does not work you should try a sticky substance remover such as Goo Gone. I hope this helps!

Looking down at my blender I see only a metal wheel, I know I have to remove it to replace my coupler but how do I get it off without making my blender worse. Does it just pop off?
Hello Adam, to remove your coupler, try to pull it up as you are turning the bottom to pop it off and remove the old part. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Replacing my black coupler and the video shoes that the part is a right turn part but mine turns both ways. Is my blender more broken than I thought or is mine just different than the example?
Hi Nick, do not worry the part is meant to turn both ways! Good luck with this repair!

While using blender on liquid setting a grounding occurred and chewed the coupling. I need a new one but the screw under the coupling isn't very tall to put coupling back on? Do i need another part?
For model number KSB5MC4
Hi Shirley,
Thank you for your question. If it is just your coupling that got damaged that should be the only part that you need to replace. To get the screw that your coupler goes on you would have to replace your entire motor. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
