KitchenAid Blenders - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
Why does Kitchenaid blender KSB655 have burning smell during operation?
If it is not something to do with the coupling (rubber one on the jug bottom and hard plastic one on top of the motor) then I'd be checking that the cutter shaft is not getting hot. If it was the motor playing up normally they pop into error and stop with flashing lights. The switch panels give very little trouble.

I have a kitchen aid
The motor windings have failed. It needs the motor replaced, so it will need to go to a repair center near you. You can find all the information you need from their website.
The coupling is worn and needs to be replaced. I
I drill a hole in the outer rim of the old coupling and then using a hammer and punch in the hole whack it in the same direction it turns when the motor is running. That will eventually unscrew the coupling and you will be able to screw the new one on. There is no need to make a big effort to tighten the new coupling up hard, over time it self tightens with use, that's why you are having trouble undoing it. Just screw it up as far as it wants to go by hand.

My kitchenmaid pitcher is stuck on the mixer. it still mixes, it won;t detach
The coupling on the motor has become bonded to the coupling on the beaker. Maybe it was moving about excessively and the 2 plastic parts have fused together. You can expect to have to replace the motor coupling and at the least the blade assembly or possibly the whole beaker depending on model. Knowing what you are up for needing to replace now if you wish to get it off put a litre of water in it, put the lid on and turn it on high and wobble, wriggle it about until it is able to be lifted off.

How do I remove the motor on kitchenaid Diamond blender, removing the coupler?
Put the base back on, determine which way the motor normally turns from the top when running. Drill a hole in the edge flange of the driving coupling. Stick a punch or screwdriver in the hole and whack the punch with a decent hammer to shock the coupling in the direction it normally will be turning. Sometimes it's a few whacks, sometimes a whole lot more but eventually they always come undone. Replace the coupling.

After plugging it into a Indian socket my entire house electricity tripped
Could be the appliance is faulty or is intended for a different mains voltage. If your mains are 220/230 volts and the appliance is intended for use on 110 volt mains...
Sometimes appliances are intended for universal use and must be adjusted before use. The instruction book will give details.
Sometimes an appliance is supplied with an unsuitable power plug and sometimes without a plug at all, requiring the power plug to be changed for a suitable type. This process is or has been responsible for many minor disasters and a few major ones. It is important such a basic and routine thing is performed competently.
It is of course possible something was or is wrong with the power outlet or perhaps the atmosphere was steamy and some condensation was carried into the outlet when the appliance was plugged in.
I hope this helps.

How do I check for power to motor?
If you have to ask how to do it then there is a good chance that you will not have the equipment to do the check and if you do have a meter you will be electrically unsafe doing it. For starters you need a multi meter, disconnect the motor from the speed control pcb and check it for a circuit. It is more likely that the motor or pcb will be faulty, cable faults on blenders are very rare but now you have your meter you can disconnect the cable from the pcb and check each wire for a circuit.

Any ideas how I remove both the mixing bowl & blade that won't release from my hardly used (maybe 10x's) Kitchen Aid Food Processor?
It sounds like the blade has become jammed on the motor shaft sleeve. You will be up for a new blade and motor shaft sleeve to sort that out. They are not expensive and it is the only proper fix for them. If you replace nothing it will happen again pretty much straight away and if you only do one the other damaged part will wreck the new part. To solve the not turning on problem which is a separate issue it will very likely involve replacement of either the bowl or the lid. One is as likely as the other, I have both parts in stock so I try one or the other to decide which one is the problem. Getting the blade off is a real chore, I have a small chain (with welded links so very strong) I put a couple of turns around the big blade shaft and fix it there with a shackle. It's about 2.5 meters long so I attach the other end to the leg of my bench and accelerate the motor unit away from the bench. The chain comes tight and shocks the blade off. I then drill a hole through the motor shaft about 8 mm from the top, attach the chain to that with a shackle and shock it off just like the blade. New parts now and job done.

Why doesn't blade spin?
Either the coupling from the motor with the fingers on it is not really attached to the motor shaft or the drive on the blade that engages with it is not attached to the blade shaft. One other thing is that on some models if the rubber jar seal between the beaker and the blade carrier is in the wrong place it can raise the blade drive to not engaging properly with the motor coupling. The gasket goes between the jar and the blade carrier, not under the blade carrier.
