The Mixer Motor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool stand mixers. Located inside the mixer head assembly, it provides the power for mixing, kneading, and whisking various ingredients. Reliable operation is needed for consistent results.

Causes of motor failure can include reduced torque from extended use taxing the windings, loose wiring connections disrupting power flow, or buildup within the gearbox slowing rotation speed.

Symptoms include:

• Mixer failing to blend, knead, or whip as intended
• Reduced motor RPMs seen from the mixing attachment speed
• Unusual noises emerge while mixing

This OEM Whirlpool motor is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, and some Kenmore models. 

This screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim so everything stays aligned and rattle-free. Replace missing, stripped, or rusted hardware to restore a solid fit and dependable operation. What it does:

• Fastens components to the cabinet/frame to maintain proper alignment
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, and small gaps from loose hardware
• Replaces lost, damaged, or corroded screws to restore secure mounting
• Common signs include loose panels/trim, vibration noises, or shifting parts

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Support the part being fastened to keep holes aligned and avoid damage
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; realign if resistance is high
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or cracking plastic

This replacement power cord restores the electrical connection to compatible electric ranges or ovens so the appliance receives safe, stable power. Designed as a direct-fit replacement to fix power loss or cord damage. What it does:

• Carries mains power from the wall outlet to the appliance so the unit can operate
• Replaces frayed, damaged, or melted cords that can cause intermittent power or unsafe connections
• Helps stop symptoms like the appliance not powering on, tripping breakers, or visible cord damage
• Restores a secure, insulated connection when the original cord is worn or compromised

• Disconnect power at the breaker before installing; do not rely on the appliance control to isolate power
• Tighten terminal connections securely and route the cord away from heat sources and moving parts

Small but critical: this groove pin locks the planetary/drive assembly to the mixer shaft so the beater is driven firmly and wobble-free. Replacing a bent or sheared pin restores solid, reliable mixing.

What it does

• Secures the planetary to the drive shaft to transmit torque
• Helps fix beater not-turning, slipping, or intermittent drive
• Reduces wobble or knocking from a loose planetary
• Replaces pins that are bent, mushroomed, or missing

What’s included
One groove/retainer pin (sold individually).

Install notes

• Unplug the mixer; work on a padded surface
• Support the planetary; drive the old pin out with a small punch
• Align holes and tap the new pin in until seated flush—don’t overstrike
• Inspect the planetary and shaft holes for elongation; re-grease if opened

This small flat washer is used as a hardware spacer in Whirlpool appliances. It distributes clamping force and helps maintain proper alignment and smooth movement where a screw, bolt, or pin secures components. Exact placement varies by model.

• Distributes load to protect mating surfaces from damage
• Acts as a spacer/shim to set correct clearance
• Helps reduce friction and metal-to-metal noise
• Common symptoms of a worn or missing washer: loose or misaligned parts, scraping/squeaking, or difficulty keeping a fastener tight

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Support the assembly and note the original washer order and placement during disassembly
• Reinstall the washer in the same position/orientation as the original
• Tighten hardware snugly; do not overtighten to avoid deforming the washer

This retaining ring secures components on a drive shaft, keeping gears or assemblies properly seated so the drive operates smoothly. A worn or missing ring can allow unwanted movement, noise, or separation under load.

• Locks into the shaft groove to hold parts in correct axial position
• Helps prevent wobble, slipping, or parts working loose during operation
• Can address symptoms like rattling/grinding noises or a drifting/wobbly shaft
• Visual signs of failure include bending, deformation, or loss of spring tension

• Disconnect power and allow moving parts to stop before servicing
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Use appropriate retaining ring/snap-ring pliers or controlled leverage to remove/install
• Ensure the ring seats fully in the groove and secure engagement before reassembly
