How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6007415 / WP241764 Stand Mixer Bowl Lift Arm

The part fit perfectly. This is a part that works across years of KA lift style home mixers and some professional ones. If you have an older mixer of the 4 screw on the top of the pedestal you are in luck as the newer models require removal of covers from the top motor assembly and lifting out the motor assembly to get to the arm linkage. Good thing about them is that they have a screw for the arm linkage and a e-clip that connects the arm connector to the vertical rod. Older models are so much simpler ti dissasemble in that all you have to do is remove those 4 big phillips screws on the under side of the pedestal/motor assembly mount and lift off the entire unit. The procedure that might be a little strange for novices on these older models is that instead of the screw on the horizonal link that holds the link on there is a roll pin. That needs to be tapped out with a proper size pin punch and saved for re-assembly. Just punch it through with light tapping and it fall through the base - when re-assembling just tap it back in place and test operation so that the top of the pin clears the housing during operation. Very easily done. Second part is that the older models use a cotter pin to connect the arm of the link to the vertical rod instead of a e-ring. Just clip off the head of the older cotter with a pair of electrician's cutters and replace with a cotter pin of the same size. 

Bought a new lift arm from you. 

Bought a new Lift Arm & Roll Pin from AppliancePartsPros.com - which arrived the next day - watched their repair video & had the whole job done in under 15 minutes. 

Replaced missing spring and lift part, adjusted brushes and re timed speed control with parts from AppliancePros. 

The part was easy to replace, appreciated the video showing how to take mixer apart and replace the part. Thank you, now maybe I will get another 30 years out of this work horse KitchenAid mixer. 

Watch the appliance part pros video and buy the parts 

Both were a breeze to fix. Just follow the video. It is exactly as provided. simple tools were all that was required. 

I replaced the lift arm per the video instruction and avoided having to buy a whole new Kitchen Aid mixer. 

We followed the YouTube video on how to fix it, and easily fixed it. It works like new now!
