This worked perfectly to fix my vitamix which had previously jumped around in terms of blade speed.

Good speed controller. Repaired my Vitamix 5200. This potentiometer looks different but fit perfectly. Its actually an improvement on the old one in that it has a slower speed increase at the bottom of the control range.

I was skeptical to buy this Vita-mix 15955 speed control after some reviewers reported it had flat spots that caused uneven speed control, but after I installed it our blender I found the speed control to be smooth. I'm happy as a clam with it.Installation is a breeze too. I won't go into how to install it since Youtube has a couple videos on it. It took me less than 10 minutes to install.If it holds up for a few years I will be very happy with it.

Like other reviewers, I purchased this part to fix erratic blending speed. However, it appears there are other components besides the Potentiometer that can cause this problem. In my case either the part I received was defective, or the problem lay elsewhere. Since replacing the control board is out of the question because of cost (like $150), I decided to deal with the erratic behavior.A couple of other notes. Unlike several videos describing the ease of separating the base from the deck top, I had considerable difficulty. They two pieces don't simply fall apart after removing the mounting screws; It can take considerable prying all around the base edge with a large screwdriver to break it lose. Even then, you need to remove the mounting screws completely as they don't disengage even when they are completely loose. This can be problematic since mine were stainless steel and so I couldn't lift them out with a magnet. And they don't fall out by shaking the unit upside down. Other than that, the rest of the repair went smoothly.

The description made it difficult to discern if it would work. It wasn’t the right one for my vitamix model but we didn’t want to return and my clever, skilled husband did a little modification and it works perfectly.

I work in F&B, and a VitaPrep/VitaMix is part of the standard arsenal in every commercial kitchen. Unfortunately, the faulty speed dial is something that plagues EVERY model that I've ever used. The last place I worked had 6 VitaPreps and only 1 didn't have this problem - probably because it was still very new. As much as I love VitaMix, I am disenchanted by their nonchalant, denial of the issue and continue to produce units with bad potentiometers. Most of them last less than a year in a commercial kitchen, before they start to hiccup and jump speeds unpredictably. Walk into a commercial kitchen and you'll see splash marks on the ceiling just to prove the point. What makes me irate is that I've contacted customer service in the past, only to have them tell me that they've never heard of this problem. I've actually thrown away two 5000 VitaMix's because of this. I was told that I couldn't get the problem fixed. Fast forward to this week when I happen to see this part on Amazon! I already bought a new 5200, but figured it was worth $24 to try and fix the fault one it replaced. I watched a YouTube video on it and its extremely easy to swap out the part. It took about 10 minutes. My old VitaMix now works perfectly!

I installed this on my older vitamix 5200 without any problems. I watched a YouTube video beforehand to make sure I would do it correctly. The part is different then what was inside my machine but put fit in perfectly. I started the machine and tried it before screwing everything back together, I think the part can go in backwards. Everything g worked out great.

**Update** Review lowered to one star as it does not work! After using this switch in my blender for a couple weeks I removed it and sent it back. After installation, the machine had a hard time blending a number of foods as it would not "pull" the food down to the blades to blend. After speaking with Vitamix, they said this is caused by 2 things: Dull blades or insufficient blade speed.Since I didn't have this problem before the switch, I knew it wasn't the blades. It appears this switch does not have enough speed control. I removed this switch and re-installed my original and BAM! machine works perfectly again (albeit jerky speed control still). Bottom line: Non OEM switch that is inferior to the original. I would not recommend it based on my experience.Original Review: The description appears very misleading... In one line it says "Part approved for use by original manufacturer", then the lines below it say "Genuine OEM replacement part", followed by "OEM parts are best for safety and reliability." Decipher that as you can!That said, this part (white switch) is much lighter that the original (black switch) that came out of my machine. That doesn't automatically imply it's less quality, but it definitely doesn't appear to have the same build quality. Even the retaining nut is lightweight. The part numbers on the two switches are different (sometimes normal as parts supersede to the next variant), it's slightly larger & they have completely different designs.Potentiometers are simple switches - this is definitely over-priced, but it did install in my machine and seems to be working smoothly, unlike my worn-out original. I'll give this time and update my review if this holds up (or doesn't.)
