Peter for Model Number KSM7581CA0 Hi, I purchased a replacement Whirlpool motor from your company. The order number was 13021427. The motor arrived fine. I am just getting around to replacing it on my KitchenAid mixer. I have removed all the screws but I am having trouble disconnecting the old motor from the planetary. Do I need to remove the retaining ring? It seems the motor shaft is connected into the planetary but I cannot figure out how to remove it.. Thanks, Peter
Answer Peter, You will need to remove the planetary and separate the upper and lower housing to get to the gearcase in order to remove the motor. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, December 21, 2021
