Mudder 5 Packs 9704230 Blender Coupler Blender Coupling Replacment Parts with 1 Wrench Compatible with KitchenAid WP9704230VP WP9704230

Works like the original, easy to install

One of the "prongs" broke off the coupler on my KitchenAid blender and I thought I had to buy a new blender. Watched a few tutorial videos and realized I could fix it myself (YAY!) These were relatively inexpensive, easy to replace and I still have my favorite blender.

I saw my wife about to throw out our KA blender. She said it was not working and there were bits of plastic at the coupler. Our unit is well over a decade old. I checked and indeed the coupler had perished (rubberized plastic).Luckily I looked on Amazon and saw this part was a typical failure and somewhat easy to replace. I ordered this pack - which had five couplers and the removal tool for the same price as many of the two packs.I have photos of the failed part and the new part. Fits well and works as the original. Will update on longevity if needed, but so far save my unit from the recycle bin! (And these units are pretty expensive).Note: as others have mentioned removal and install of the coupler is opposite to normal as the treads are reversed which is typical in rotation devices (so they don’t get loose with use) - such as circular saws and angle grinders too. I used the supplied tool and channel locks to get the old one off.Review as of Dec 2024.

So far so good. Fit and function seems correct, will have to see how long it lasts

Exact replacement for my kitchenaid blender. Also note that the threads are left handed.

worked great in the end. My 1999 vintage Kitchen Aid blender has 4 wide posts castings that surround the coupling and the space between them was too small to allow the wider end of the wrench to pass between them to get under the coupling. All my narrow enough, ignition wrenches were too thick to fit under the coupling. So I ground the edges off the provider wrench till it cleared the posts. Lefthand screw on the coupling easily released. KitchenAid should have provided this kit to begin with, Mudder should provide a wrench with openings at both ends.

Perfect fit for our Kitchen Aid blender . Very durable material.

I love my old blender but it likes to eats these parts. Fortunately i found these and a single one has outlasted the original. Very durable and a great value.
