Whirlpool 4162546 Stand Mixer Motor Brush Holder OEM Part

Checked out You tube video. Easy tune up. One gasket was damaged and I did not notice that the brush holders has no brushes. I believe a quick call to Appliance parts pros will fix this, besides I need a few more parts. I expect to get another 20+ years from this KitchenAide mixer, once repairs are competed. Watch out for the single lock washer located on the rear upper housing screw, you don't want to lose this!

Made checks on brushes, to see how much wear on carbon and springs. Found one side almost gone, the other only aliittle longer. But still should of gotten some action or spark when starting. So next check was the end bel for the switching contacts. Found when starting leaver was moved only the board would float back and fourth onthe spring tention. Black wire (hot) wasen't going anywhere with power...the contact was not making good connection, also dirty and pitted. Barnished withight sand paper to clean. Adjusted screw untill contact made with lever 2nd run position. Ordered parts, installed and have mixer back making dough.

I used these parts in a totally different project, not related to a mixer. i just needed an inexpensive set of small commuter brushes to make contacts.

It went from repair to redo/customize quickly. As the mixer was old, but had sentimental value. I completely took apart the kitchen aid mixer. I took the case pieces to a powder coated for a new purple coating. As this was being done I decided to purchase new motor parts as the mixer is older and was at times struggling. I disassembled the mixer one year prior to powder coating. When it came time to assemble and ‘fix’ I really needed the videos on here to help guide me to make sure everything was put back in correctly for it to work like new. And I can say that is exactly how it works!
