Answer Danny, The motor brushes need to be at least 5/16" in length, and oriented properly in the holder. At this point, based on your post information, you need to look at the armature W10417244 since the control board and plate were damaged and shorted, they could have damaged the windings in the armature as well.
What set of brushes do I need? I know the mixer is old.
