Are you supposed to get a spare handle replacement?

My unit did not come w/ spare parts. I broke the latch on an older unit years go and had to replace entire unit.

I also need a replacement lid, my husband dropped it, broke the handle in two second time he used it. It can't be fixed surely replacements are available, but where?

yes....save your old hardware from old handle to transfer it to new one..special locking clips that hold the rods in place,becareful not to break any.

It all depends, I only needed one handle and it did not last very long. I wound up buying another from Toyota that was much more expensive.

I'd had the same problem for a while and had to use my finger to move whatever was remaining of the handle. Ended up ordering replacement spare parts, including the spring, at www.bullonerosso.de in Germany. Spare parts set me back under EUR 20 - I would've paid more in postage if it hadn't been for a friend of mine who was traveling to Germany and brought those parts for me. I had to use an L-shaped screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the ground coffee container. Other than that, replacing the broken handle didn't take more than five minutes.

No the handle on mine just broke - seems to be too fragile. Had it for about 1 year and loved it otherwise, but it needs to be made out of more durable material.

I am not sure, I haven't had mine that long. So far mine is still in tack. You may want to contact the company directly to see. Or be creative and use some Gorilla Tape and wrap around the handle. lol

I don't believe the handle was made to be replaced, as it is molded onto the blade. There are no screws, rivets, bolts etc on the handle. I suppose someone with the right tools, know how and methods would be able to remove the current handle and manufacture another in its place. A job not for the average user I'd say.

Mine just broke as well. I'm still looking for a place to get a replacement handle.

There are small setscrews holding the handles. Use a small blade screw driver to remove them. I'm not sure about replacement handles, if they could be purchased from a distributor or not. The handles are definitely not like any others I have ever seen. The valve stem they attach to is standard so you could replace the handles with something more typical if something should happen to the original ones.

Yes - Youl will have to vist the manufacturers website (or search on amazon.com a little bit more) to buy a replacement handle. I think there are more cold steel products that use this particular wooden handle.

Yes, but the handle may need maintenanceIt just depends on the care of the product

The manufacturer website has spare parts. Might have to order directly from them.

If you really just bought it last summer then contact KitchenAid----They stand behind their products. Also---The handle is just a push-on so they may just send you a new handle.

Unless they've changed the product, I suspect it means that the handle can be replaced with a plastic replacement. Probably in case of damage. The one I purchased is a metal handle, head, and handle cap (screws onto the opposite end of the handle from the head). The only complaint I have is that the handle cap keeps vibrating loose when I tap out the hair, but that could easily be resolved with application of super glue.

No, but be aware that you made need new rivets if you damage them when removing the old handle.

Yes, It's a direct replacement. Only difference it has a plastic handle, but works fine.
