Up for sale is a brand new 3 wire variable speed potentiometer for the Vita-mix in non-retail packaging. These switches are from the OEM manufacturer of the variable speed potentiometer used in a Vita-mix, and should match exactly to what you have currently in your blender, although different model years have different color switch bases.
Included in the sale is the switch as pictured, three pieces of heat shrink, and a new retaining nut to hold the switch to the Vita-mix base.
The "Buy It Now" price is for a single potentiometer switch with three wire leads pre-soldered. If you need a two wire potentiometer, please check our other auctions.
One of our previous customers has graciously created a Youtube video showing how to install this switch, and how to correctly splice the wires, explaining the steps.
The link to the video is HERE. Please watch it prior to your purchase to ensure you are familiar with how to change the switch. There is also a video of how to disassemble the Vitamix HERE.
If
your Vita-mix has the base retaining screws under the rubber pad, then
this video is a step by step. If your Vita-mix does not have the screws
under the upper rubber pad, then the video will give you an idea of how
to change the switch, but not exactly a step by step since the
dis-assembly and re-assembly will be different. You will have to access the screws from the bottom of the vita-mix, but it is relatively the same process.
