Introduction
Use this guide to replace a worn or damaged Vitamix 5200 Drive Socket.
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 replacement, order your replacement part 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.
What you need
-
-
Unplug the motor from its external power source.

Excelente explicativo. Normalmente a estos equipos hay que observar que las dos llaves estén en buenas condiciones, sobre todo el pulsador, la mayoría de las veces es el problema principal que el equipo funcione mal. Saludos EXITOS

What should I do when the motor stocked. Not rolling but making a buzz sound.
