this is getting more and more common there is a part between the motor and the drive gear that snaps for no reason . its job is to snap if the blades jam as a "fuse" to save your house from a overheating ,jammed motor . the problem is there are no parts to buy to fix this . if its new take it back to where you bought it . otherwise shipping it 2 ways for repair to the factory is sometimes as much or more as a new blender ........ i would recomend you do one of two things : go to a goodwill or other type shop and get a nice vintage blender , it will last forever ! or move up to a vita mix . its costly but it will realy last you ... this new made in china junk is just bad news even when it has the kitchen aid name on it . its still the same junk ..... good luck........ Please if this answer helped , please rate this 3 or 4 stars . and keep me in the paid answer department . A 1 or 2 may knock me down into the unpaid ranks. Thanks Cactus Bob .

My Blender Model number KSB560MCO does not run. When try to blend all of red lights come one and they blink and move around. Any suggestions what could be wrong? Appreciate any help.
Thanks

This will probably need either a new thermal fuse on the field windings or a new motor.

Hiya, Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with your blender. We believe that the described issue indicates control board fault.

how to tighten nut on kitchen aid blender

Buy a new one

More often than not it will need the motor to be replaced, only Kitchen Aid parts will do, motors are usually unique to brands and models. Sometimes it can be the control/button panel but normally the motor.

From Kitchen Aid they only come on a new motor. I am a Kitchen Aid service agent and I remove them from burnt out motors and keep them. Look for a service agent near you and see if they can help you out. I have no idea where you are, I'm in New Zealand.

Magnet is not available as a separate part, you need to buy a new motor and be more careful in the future.

Blenders are not to be used for washing dishes, that may be where your problems are.

If this is a Kitchen Aid blender with the flashing lights then you will need to remove the motor base cover and check the motor for a circuit. If it is open circuit then either replace the motor or locate the thermal fuse (under some white tape and aluminium clip on one of the field windings) and either replace or bypass fuse if it is open circuit.

Check the motor for continuity, it may be open circuit. If it is locate the thermal fuse covered with insulation tape on one of the field windings (where the metal clip is) Check that for continuity, if faulty bypass or replace it.

There is no microwave hood on a Kitchen Aid blender

Try asking this in the dishwasher department, asking it in the blender dept will invite unhelpful replies like this 'cos I know nuthin' about dishwashers.

You could try asking this in the Tefal part of this forum instead of the Kitchen Aid area as folks who know Tefal may not be browsing this area. You could also be a little more specific about exactly what the fault is that needs repairing.

Kitchen Aid blenders are used for chopping/blending not heating.

Lever it off with a screwdriver, it is aluminium and the threads on the ring will break away. Pick them out of the thread on the motor shaft and screw on a new coupling, it will be left hand thread.
