Drive Socket for Series 5 OmniBlend Blenders

Replacement Drive Socket for OmniBlender – 5 Series

Replacement drive socket that fits all series 5 models*.
Designed to be a load-absorbing part, the drive socket needs replacing if there is any play.  To check, remove the jug cushion, grasp the black mushroom head and attempt to wriggle from side-to-side.  There should be no sidewards play.

Replacing the drive socket is part of your regular maintenance – we recommend you check it every 3-6 months for wear by following the instructions here.
Train staff to insert the blender jug into the drive socket  without excessive force (don’t slam it down). The underside of the stainless steel blade assembly could make repeat forceful contact with the drive socket, leading to eventual damage.

Replacement can be undertaken by any competent DIY handy-person (instructions supplied) and takes about 5 minutes.

Tools required: long flat-ended screwdriver & small Phillips screwdriver

*To check your model number, look at the Serial number located on the base of the machine. Series 5 Omniblenders all start with a “5”.  If your OmniBlend is a series 4, you will need a Series 4 Drive socket. CLICK HERE
