Is the drive shaft of this model stil connected with a plastic piece? This seemed to be that failed the quickest in the previous model, the CSB-76.

Yes. I've had no trouble with this. I love this blender; it's great for making soups.

First of all, I believe you have the model numbers reversed. Secondly, the answer is yes. Thirdly, the plastic gear appears to be husky enough. Fourthly, I think the trick is not to overload the blender.

Just to add my two cents, as John said it is the same coupling--in fact we are using our old blade assembly with the new unit since the new blade seems to splash a lot more (why would they do that?!). Our old coupling was indeed the part that broke, necessitating the replacement, but it happened after years of regular service when we accidentally tried to blend a metal spoon with it. So to agree again with John, I think if you stick with blending non-metallic objects it should last a reasonably long time.

I've had two, one for years. Now a replacement because the gears stripped. Both mine have/had plastic gears

On mine, the ice dump tray broke where it connects to the actuator. The actuator shaft is metal but connects to a weak plastic piece on the tray. Great machine but poor design with the tray. Company should do a recall for the part if they care about producing a quality product.

It looks better then the one I took off mine just check to make sure it spins before putting shaft back in or the hole thing will spin in bearing bracket . I had to do it twice

I just got the drive. It is the same model as before. But simply replacing the pcb board does not work. The original pcb board is working fine as tested by mounting it to the new drive. There is some serious problem inside the sealed chamber like reading arms or some mechanical failure. I don't want to mess it up now. I have to eat the pain of losing my data. I used to always trust WD but now I changed my mind. Maybe looking for a seagate one for replacement. Next time I will build a Raid.

Mine has metal gears that were loose when the unit arrived, but just required tightening. I've used it about 20 times in six weeks and it appears to be in perfect condition. If the gears ever wear out in normal use, it will surprise me. Perhaps they have addressed, and improved, a weakness?

The drive gear may be different, my flue damper motor has a female plastic drive, this motor has a brass toothed gear.

The metal front (silver) part of the housing on one of mine is loose, but it has had alot of use. Mine should probably be disassembled and the bearing(s) checked - then lubed or replaced , along with retightening the housing. The shaft will always have alittle play as normal.

I had to drill a hole into the plate that holds my wheel (forward of the axle). In order to attach it to the actual axle bolt, I was told I'd need to buy a whole new wheel with a longer axle. Drilling the hole was the best idea and has not compromised the integrity of the steel that holds the wheel in place. Now that I have that set up, its a very fast connect, disconnect. If I could attach a photo I would but I don't see where that's possible.

I have had the same problem just last week. The plastic piece on one side, that holds the nozzle in place from the inside, broke. I do not have any idea why. I only use this vacuum for daily very light clean up after dinner. Have had this unit for 17 months and am not happy with the quality of the parts.

I am sorry that I cannot help you on this one. We have used ours about every day for 9 months without a hitch. It sounds like the drive gear has come unhitched from the motor. Did you ever try to run it while something was jamming the cutter/blender? Sorry I cannot help more.

It sounds like the same system you describe. I have been using one like it (MM850) for 11 years without anything happening to the plastic. You are right that if the small plastic ridges which wrap around the blade and the metal "spacer" break off there will not be much holding the blade in place. It shouldn't break unless you hit something, in which case the slipping plastic limits damage to the motor and shaft. I take the blade off about every 5 days when I do the lawn to touch up the sharpness and the mounting still is OK on mine. I only hit something (a large rock) hard enough to stop the motor once. It knocked the motor mounting snap ring loose, which made the motor flop around noisily, but the plastic thing just slipped without breaking. Lucky. I think what might be happening to some people is the nut gets loose, allowing the blade to slip over the plastic. Leaving it go until the ridges wear off the plastic makes it is about useless. Since I take my blade off so often, I am also tightening the nut regularly.

Does the drive socket on the base look worn? If it isn't, then replacing it may not make a difference. Hard to say for sure. I replaced mine after it got worn from the kids repeatedly removing the pitcher before the motor had completely stopped spinning and rocking the pitcher while it was blending. The gear on the bottom of the pitcher didn't wear much but the drive socket got somewhat chewed up near its top. It seemed like the pitcher's gear wasn't fully engaging it and it was noisier than when we first got it. Replacing the drive socket fixed it for my blender.

Ditto, worked great initially. No one In town knows how to fix mine.My husband watched the lift brushes and noticed they were not moving up and down so he ftled a little bit of the plastic and it is working now.However we wait every day for it to die.

If you have the correct drive replacement the old drive should come off with a clockwise twist [you will be looking down on it]so in other words turn it to your right;try not to force it if you can't move it.But be sure that it is a screw on spindle and the shaft do not turn to the motor (and everything is unplugged) good luck ..

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

I have a Whitfield Quest and my motor looks the same. Looking from the front it runs in a CW direction (shaft side) and is 1 RPM. i am thinking of ordering this one as I have issues and don't know if it's the motor or a pellet jam. I used a coat hanger and knocked some pellets out of the delivery chute so it's a wait and see. Another thing it could be is the bushing/bearing. There's a youtube on how to repair. Good luck!!!
