| The drive socket is one of the most vital parts of the Vitamix blender. If it experiences too much damage the teeth will be unable to catch the blender blade which will result in an unusable blender. |
|
| Before using this guide be sure to confirm that the drive socket is indeed the source of the issue by checking the blender jar blade as well as the motor. Once it is clear that it's the drive socket that needs to be replaced, order your replacement and follow these simple steps to restore your Vitamix blender. |
|
| Steps 4 and 7 will require the use of a 5/64ths Allen wrench. Generally, one will come packaged with your replacement drive socket. |
|
| Before beginning be sure to disconnect the blender from any external power source. |
