Kitchenaide blender pitcher blade assembly sticks

SOURCE: Blade not turning

I am looking at the same problem, the aluminum bottom part (on blade assembly) that contacts the black rubber on the motor part is no longer "attached" to shaft that drives the blade on top side. So like said the top and bottom "turn freely" but independent of each other.... not good, they should be one piece. Ebay does not have a replacement for this original part in my case and would have to buy a complete jar assembly. I will attempt to fix the original one by cutting a slot through aluminum and center shaft and dropping in a pin to make them turn together, with a spot of weld to hold pin to shaft... not sure how long this will last.... unless somene has a better idea to fix it?

The "code" you are seeking is found in the serial number, which has a specific way of noting when the unit is manufactured.

Buy with confidence and hang on to your dated sales receipt. If the blender leaks, take advantage of Kitchenaid's 1 Year warranty by calling into Kitchenaid Customer Service.
