Black & Decker EC59D-TY2 electric can opener Parts

Yes. For your Black & Decker EC59D-TY2 electric can opener, replacement parts are typically available by searching the model number and then matching the exact part to your unit’s design. If you do not see the part listed for EC59D-TY2, we recommend searching by model number on Sears PartsDirect to locate compatible parts and diagrams.

How to find the right replacement part

Use these steps to avoid ordering the wrong item:

• Confirm the model number is EC59D-TY2 (from the rating label on the can opener).
• Compare the part description to what you are replacing (for example: cutter assembly, gear, lever, switch, power cord).
• Match the mounting style and electrical rating when applicable (cord length, plug type, switch style).
• If the can opener has multiple versions, match by any additional type code or date code on the label.
• Replace worn mechanical items in pairs when it makes sense (for example: drive gear and cutter) to prevent repeat failures.

Common parts people replace on electric can openers

These are the most frequent wear or failure items:

Symptom	Most likely part area	What to check first
Motor runs but won’t cut	Cutter/drive mechanism	Dull cutter, stripped gear, jammed feed
Won’t start	Power/switch	Outlet, cord damage, sticky switch
Stops mid-can	Drive/load issue	Binding, worn gear, can alignment
Excess noise	Gear train	Cracked gear, loose fasteners

Quick troubleshooting before you order

• Unplug the unit and clean the cutter and feed area; dried residue can cause slipping.
• Check for a bent cutter arm or misalignment that prevents the can from engaging.
• Inspect the cord for cuts, kinks, or a loose connection at the strain relief.
• If the switch feels intermittent, plan on replacing the switch or control component that actuates it.

Why it matters

Small appliance parts are often model- and version-specific. Matching the EC59D-TY2 model details helps ensure the replacement part fits correctly, runs safely, and restores normal cutting performance.

For a Black & Decker electric can opener model EC59D-TY2, the fastest way to find discontinued parts is to search by the exact model number and any part number printed on the old part, then cross-check for compatible substitutions and used/refurbished options. We start with the model-based lookup on Sears PartsDirect.

Step-by-step: how we recommend searching

• Confirm the model number is EC59D-TY2 (match it exactly, including dashes).
• Remove the suspected failed part (when safe) and look for a stamped or printed part number.
• Search using part number first, then model number; part numbers are more precise.
• Try alternate keywords for the same item (for can openers: “power cord”, “switch”, “gear”, “cutter”, “drive wheel”, “motor”).
• If the exact part is unavailable, compare photos and mounting points to find a compatible replacement.

What to do when the exact part is no longer sold

Discontinued small-appliance parts are often replaced by a “substitute” part number, or the repair shifts to a component-level fix (cord, switch, wiring, or cleaning a jam).

Common workable paths

Situation	What to try next	Why it works
Part is discontinued	Search for a substitute part number	Manufacturers often supersede numbers
Part is out of stock	Set a reminder and re-check availability	Inventory can change
No part number visible	Search by model + symptom	Helps narrow to the likely component
Plastic/gear damage	Compare dimensions and attachment style	Fit matters more than the name

Quick checks before you buy anything

• Unplug the can opener and inspect the cord for cuts or loose prongs.
• Check for food debris buildup around the cutter and drive area.
• Listen for motor hum; hum with no movement often points to a jam or stripped gear.
• If it is completely dead, test the outlet and then inspect internal wiring connections.

Why it matters

Using the exact EC59D-TY2 model number and the old part’s number prevents ordering the wrong electrical or mechanical component, which saves time and avoids repeat failures.

To install a Black & Decker Spacemaker can opener like model EC59D-TY2, we mount the unit securely under a cabinet (or on its designed bracket), level it so it does not wobble, then route the power cord safely before plugging it in. A solid, level mount is what keeps the opener stable and quiet.

Before you start (safety and fit)

• Unplug the can opener before positioning or tightening any hardware.
• Choose a cabinet surface that is flat, solid, and not cracked or swollen.
• Confirm the opener clears cabinet doors and does not interfere with hinges.
• Keep the cord away from the cutting area and any hot surfaces.
• Use the correct screwdriver and avoid overtightening into particleboard.

Basic installation steps (typical Spacemaker-style setup)

1. Position the opener under the cabinet where you want it to sit.
2. Level it front-to-back and side-to-side; adjust the position until it sits flush.
3. Secure the mounting points (bracket or screws, depending on your version) so the unit cannot shift.
4. Manage the cord: unwrap it fully, route it so it hangs freely, and plug into a nearby outlet.
5. Test for wobble: gently press on the unit; if it moves, re-tighten and re-level.

How to confirm it is installed correctly

Check	What you want to see	What to fix if it fails
Stability	Unit does not rock or twist	Re-level, tighten mounting points
Clearance	Lever and can path are unobstructed	Reposition away from doors/hinges
Power cord	Cord is not pinched or rubbing	Re-route cord, add slack
Operation	Smooth open cycle, minimal vibration	Re-check mount tightness

Using it after installation (quick operation check)

• Lift the lever.
• Place the can under the magnet so it engages.
• Start the open cycle and watch the first few seconds for shifting.
• If the unit vibrates or walks, stop and re-level the mount.

Why it matters

A can opener that is not level or firmly mounted can wobble, slip off the can, or strain internal gears and switches. A stable mount improves cutting performance and helps the opener last longer.
