Drive Socket Kit 891 802 Replacement Part for Vitamix Blenders & Allen Wrench

Quickly brought our old Vitamix back to life - holding up well after a couple of months

Definitely watch the video on how to properly install this. Once you do, you won't regret it. Trick is not to install it too tightly. I cant believe I spent all of lockdown without my vitamix. I called "customer care" (not!) and they wanted to charge me about £150 plus expected me to take the vitamix to them. "Excuse me, but we are in lockdown but you are a company who should be concerned about your customers" I said. (I have owned two - one of which I gave to my partner for his home). The told me that the warrantee had expired only ONE MONTH before I phoned. So .... um....? During lockdown .... one small discretionary bit of help? Anyhow my point is that I wish they had said "What is the problem? Perhaps we can help you over the phone." A year later...and I finally worked it out! Within two days - fixed. So happy. Thank you Amazon. Thank you youtube. No thank you so-called Vitamix "Customer Care" 🙄 :)

Good

I thought my Vitamix TNC 5200 was dead after the jug came to the end of its life and seized, breaking this part. After a quick call to the excellent Vitamix customer services, I learned this part is supposed to break to protect the motor when that happens. I was directed to order this part. I found a very good video on YouTube instructing me how to change out the drive sockets and I highly recommend anyone looking to change this part watches it. I took my time, and had to have a few attempts before getting this just right, but after following the instructions exactly, and with a new jug now in place, my ten year old Vitamix is working like new again. Make sure when fitting this part, that you don’t over tighten it - it’s supposed to lift up slightly when properly fitted.

Fits and works perfectly.

Absolutely the worst product. Ordered 3 of these. All 3 were different. The screws were different lengths and widths.

Order is incomplete

Worked great! I called and emailed vitamix directly for help and they were incredibly dismissive because my blender was out of warranty. So glad I checked Amazon reviews to see if I could replace this on my own.

Working great for now. Not sure for how long in the professional kitchen....

Fit and works great on my aging blender.

The only thing I disliked was, I was unable to put the screw in. I tried and tried, but it works fine without it.

Does the job. It isn’t made by Vitamix so the speeds are a little off and the quality isn’t quite the same. But it’s a good alternative to going through the warranty process with Vitamix themselves
