K45-Ss Parts

The Washer is an OEM replacement part for Kitchenaid stand mixers. This washer serves a dual purpose as both a spacer and a cushion, positioned on the Vertical Center Shaft beneath the Bevel Pinion and Center Gear and above the planetary gear assembly.

Replacement of this washer should be considered if it becomes torn, damaged, or lost to maintain the mixer's performance and prevent potential damage to other components. It is recommended that two washers be used in every mixer to ensure optimal performance and stability of the internal gearing system.

Symptoms of a washer needing replacement include:

• Increased operational noise or grinding sounds
• Excessive vibration or instability during use
• Visible wear or damage to the washer itself

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Power Cord is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. It provides the electrical connection between the mixer and the power source, allowing the appliance to function properly.

A bad power cord can be caused by wear and tear, accidental damage, or electrical issues. If you experience problems such as intermittent power supply, sparks or frayed wires, or the mixer not turning on at all, it may indicate a problem with the power cord.

Symptoms of a bad power cord include:

• Intermittent power supply or loss of power during operation
• Sparks, exposed wires, or fraying along the cord
• Inability to turn on the mixer  

Replace your faulty power cord with this genuine OEM part to restore your stand mixer. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

Note: Shaft has been revised by the factory and the spring is no longer used.

The Hinge Pin is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This part allows the tilt head of the stand mixer to pivot smoothly, enabling easy access to the mixing bowl and attachments. The hinge pin ensures that the tilt head remains securely attached while providing stability during operation.

Causes of a bad hinge pin can include general wear and tear, corrosion from exposure to moisture, or damage due to heavy use.  

Symptoms of a bad hinge pin include:

• Difficulty in raising or lowering the tilt head
• Tilt head not locking into place properly
• Unusual wobbling or instability during mixing
• Squeaking or grinding noises when adjusting the tilt head

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

• Inspect mating surfaces for wear or debris and clean before installation
• Do not force parts together; verify proper fit and stack-up thickness

This small grooved pin is a precision retaining fastener used to secure and align mating parts within an appliance assembly. Replacing a worn or missing pin restores proper support and helps the mechanism operate smoothly and quietly. What it does:

• Locks two components together with an interference-fit groove to prevent unwanted movement
• Maintains alignment of hinges, linkages, or levers in the assembly
• Reduces wobble, vibration, and rattling that can occur when a pin is worn or missing
• Common symptoms include loose or drifting parts, misalignment, intermittent operation, or unusual noises

• 1 grooved pin

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water/gas before servicing
• Support the assembly; remove any retainers, then drive out the old pin with a small punch/drift and install the new pin aligned to the original orientation
• Do not reuse damaged hardware; replace worn bushings or clips and ensure smooth movement
• Test operation before reassembling covers and restoring power

This small drive gear transfers motor power to the rest of the gear train. Replacing a worn or stripped pinion restores smooth, consistent rotation and helps prevent additional damage to neighboring gears and shafts. What it does:

• Engages the mating gear to transmit torque from the motor
• Drives the output gear train for consistent movement
• Maintains proper gear mesh inside the drive housing
• Typical failure signs: grinding/clicking, slipping under load, or no movement of driven parts

• 1 pinion gear

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow all moving parts to stop
• Access the gearcase/drive housing and note the original gear's orientation
• Inspect mating gears; replace as needed and use manufacturer-approved grease if required
• Hand-rotate the assembly to verify smooth operation before reassembly and test

This phase control board is the power module that drives designated surface elements on compatible cooktops. It regulates power and communicates with the main control to deliver steady heat, restoring proper heating performance when the original module fails. What it does:

• Regulates and supplies power to assigned surface heating zones
• Communicates with the main/user interface control to execute heat settings
• Helps monitor fault conditions to protect the circuit
• Typical symptoms: one or more surface elements won't heat, intermittent heating, or the unit powers on but doesn't heat those zones

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Use ESD protection; avoid touching component leads and solder joints
• On models with multiple phase boards, confirm the correct board position for your unit
• Label and transfer all connectors; secure the board per the service manual and test each surface element after reassembly

This planetary drip ring fits around a stand mixer's planetary assembly to cover the gap below the gearcase and help catch grease residue, restoring a clean, finished look where the beater hub meets the mixer head.

• Mounts at the base of the mixer head around the planetary housing
