THIS KIT COMES WITH EASY STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. YOUR MACHINE WILL RUN LIKE NEW FOR MANY MORE YEARS.As a longtime Vitamix demonstrator and repairman, I can tell you the one part that seems to always fail after many years of use on a Vitamix is the variable speed switch on the 5000,5200,VM102,VM103,Creations and Vita-prep series models.Does your machine (in the variable speed mode) skip speeds on the lower numbers 1-5? You need a NEW variable speed switch. Vitamix calls this switch a " POTENTIOMETER". Most Vitamix machines have the 2-wire setup some of the older ones have the 3-wire, please verify which switch you have before purchase. If you have it fixed by Vitamix it will set you back $100 and you have to ship the machine back and forth to OHIO. I have personally changed over 500 of these switches and they work every time. This is the Original switch that was used on the 5000 ,Vita-prep models and also works fine on the 5200 and creations models.This listing is for the switch ONLY. The Vitamix machine and knob is Not included. PLEASE READ OUR REVIEWS BELOW (and many more on our feedback). PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE. Fantastic transaction. Thanks.
