Parts for Kitchenaid KSM90MC4: 01 - Color Variation Parts

This motor housing is the outer mounting component that secures and protects the appliance motor, helping keep the motor aligned and reducing vibration for quieter operation. Choose the correct color/finish variant for your unit. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the motor to prevent misalignment and excessive movement
• Protects the motor from debris and contact with adjacent parts
• Helps reduce motor vibration and related noise during operation
• Used to restore proper motor positioning when worn, cracked, or bent housing causes rubbing or abnormal sounds

• One motor housing (color/finish depends on selected variant)

• Disconnect power before beginning service; follow all safety warnings for your appliance
• Basic disassembly (cabinet/drum removal) is typically required to access and replace the housing
• Inspect mounting hardware and gaskets; replace any damaged fasteners or seals as needed
• If symptoms persist after replacement (noise, rubbing, excessive vibration), check motor mounts, blower, and alignment

This trim band restores the finished front edge on the appliance, hiding gaps and giving a clean, factory look. It replaces a scratched, dented or missing trim for improved appearance and fit. What it does:

• Covers and protects the appliance edge where panels meet to restore a finished appearance
• Prevents visible gaps and hides minor surface damage along the front trim area
• Helps keep adjacent panels aligned and reduces drafts or light leaks at the seam
• Common symptom: trim is cracked, bent, loose, or cosmetically damaged

• One trim band (color: black/silver)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Remove any retaining screws or clips and lift the old trim straight off; reinstall the new band by aligning tabs and snapping or fastening into place
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts and to prevent scratching the new trim

This replacement planetary assembly restores proper drive alignment and support for rotating components in select laundry appliances, helping reduce noise and vibration while returning smooth drum rotation. What it does:

• Transmits rotational force between the drive system and rotating drum components
• Supports alignment of the rotating assembly to prevent wobble or irregular movement
• Helps eliminate grinding, clunking or unusual noises caused by worn planetary components
• Resolve intermittent or complete loss of rotation when the planetary is worn or damaged

• Disconnect power and follow lock-out/tag-out before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools are typically required; refer to the appliance service manual for exact procedure
• Inspect adjacent parts (gears, bearings, seals) and replace if damaged

This planetary gear assembly drives the washer's agitator/spin mechanism to transfer motor motion into drum movement, restoring smooth agitation and spin action. Designed to fit as the washer's internal gearing component for reliable operation. What it does:

• Converts motor rotation into the agitator/drum motion for effective washing and spinning
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause noisy operation or grinding sounds
• Helps correct slow, intermittent, or no-agitation and no-spin symptoms when gearbox failure is present
• Works as the internal gearset that mates with the transmission/agitator components

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair
• Requires partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the transmission/agitator area
• Inspect related parts (agitator, drive coupling, transmission) for wear and replace as needed

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion to the appliance's drive mechanism, restoring smooth rotation and normal operation. It replaces a worn or damaged planetary component to reduce noise and restore consistent drive performance. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque through the gear train to the driven component for proper operation
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause grinding, clunking, or loss of drive
• Helps stop intermittent or failed agitation/spin caused by stripped or broken gear teeth
• Restores correct gear engagement to reduce excessive noise during operation

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Some disassembly of the gearcase or transmission may be required; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings, and fasteners; replace any damaged components
• Use proper tools and torque values

Color: Onyx black

This cover is a replacement access panel that protects internal components and restores the appliance's exterior appearance. It keeps wiring and controls shielded while maintaining a clean, finished look. What it does:

• Shields control components and wiring from dust, spills, and accidental contact
• Restores damaged or missing exterior panels for a finished appearance
• Helps maintain proper airflow and component clearance by covering openings
• Can reduce rattles or vibration by replacing a loose or broken panel

• One replacement cover

• Disconnect power (and gas or water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow the appliance's service manual for specific steps
• Handle edges carefully; align tabs/fasteners before securing to avoid damage
• Replace worn fasteners or clips to ensure a secure fit

This grille control surface assembly provides the finished front trim for the appliance control area and restores a clean, secure fit and appearance. It replaces a cracked, damaged or loose control-area grille to improve panel alignment and aesthetics. What it does

• Covers and protects the appliance control area while providing the finished exterior appearance
• Restores proper fit and alignment when the original grille is cracked, bent, or broken
• Helps keep moisture and debris away from underlying controls and wiring
• Matches Onyx black finish for a consistent look with the rest of the appliance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, possibly trim tool) are typically required for removal and reattachment
• Align tabs and screw holes carefully to avoid cracking the trim during installation
• Replace damaged internal fasteners or mounting clips to ensure a secure fit
