Julie July 24, 2013 for Model Number K5SSWH I recently acquired a kitchen aid mixer that makes a "grinding" noise when you turn it on and barely has enough power to turn the planetary. I have taken apart the mixer already and replaced the grease on all the gears (all are in perfect condition). I was able to turn both the ventilation fan and the motor shaft freely by hand with mixer unplugged to check for a bend in the fan blades or a bend in the shaft that would be producing the "grinding" noise or that could be causing the motor to bind up. With the mixer plugged in and turned on the motor heats up fast (less than 30secs) ..my question is weather the brushes are bad (there is some carbon streaks on the armature) or if it is a wiring issue that is causing the motor to not get enough power?
1 Answer Julie, You will want to clean up the brushes to see how worn they are but you will also want to check the speed plate to make sure that it is properly adjusted and check the governor to make sure that it is not bad. Read More...
Danny P. December 17, 2012 for Model Number kitchenaid commercial mixer ksmc508 the unit lost power and shorted out phas board and plate ctrl both things replaced and still no power . brushes are over 1/2 long,and i have power to brushes could it still be brushes
1 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 W10900799 since the control board and plate were damaged and shorted, they could have damaged the windings in the armature as well.

David November 30, 2011 for Model Number K5-A I sent in a question a few days ago and you requested the entire model #. The above is the only model number on the Stainless band that goes around the mixer. I'm looking for new brushes for the motor. I've taken the entire mixer apart in the past few days to clean it and install a new power cord and there is no other number on the mixer. The name plate says the manufacturer is The Hobart Mfg. co. in Troy Ohio. My wifes newer mixer says KitchenAid Division, but the one I'm trying to get brushes for was my mother-in-laws and I know it's at least 20 yrs old. You may have to go back to the Hobart model numbers as I think this was made by them before KitchenAid purchased them. The brushes currently in the machine are worn down to the spring so they are not long for this world.
1 Answer Hello David. The motor brushes, for the model number you provided, has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Thanks. Read More...

Shirley November 28, 2011 for Model Number K45SS I was using my mixer, shut it off to get my dry ingredients and then went to turn it on and it did not work. I tried differnet outlets and moved the cord around to see if there was a short but nothing worked. Do you think if we replaced the motor brushes it would work or what other advice would you suggest? We do not have a service outlet around here. I look forward to you response!! Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Shirley. You will need to test and see if there is power coming to the motor. If not, you may have a bad phase control WPW10325124. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Harry July 22, 2011 for Model Number K5A Would this brush fit my model also? I know my brush is discontinued but surely this one is similar or perhaps same but I can not find any substitution except this one. Do you have any specifics as to size?
1 Answer Hello Harry. No, the motor brush WPW10380496 will not fit your mixer. The motor brush has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Thanks. Read More...
Joe M March 25, 2011 for Model Number Kithenaid stand mixer K45SS Are there any specific directions for replacing brushes? I notice brushes have a bevel on one side. Thank you, Joe
1 Answer Joe, the general rule of thumb, the longer side of the motor brush should be installed in sync with the motor rotation / direction. If the motor rotates clockwise, the longer end should be on the right, counterclockwise, the long end should be on the left. We hope this is helpful! Read More...
