Whirlpool 4160474 Center Shaft Kit 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!

I took the mixer apart cleaned out all of the old grease and inspected all surfaces for any damage. Re-greased all gears, replaced parts provided in kit. Be careful with gasket very fragile mine got damaged in shipping. Mixer runs smooth and quieter (note: used sta-lube synthetic food grade grease). Will wait for a year or two for complete results. Required hammer, small punch and padded base to protect finish on mixer.

Replaced O-ring and Gasket.

Ordered on Tuesday, was delivered on Thursday, great service. Took mixer apart, and replaced the main shaft, oil seal on the shaft, and the mating gasket between the primary and secondary gear drives. All parts were exact replacements. Only thing that could have been better would have been if I could have printed only the exploded view on the web site rather than the whole parts list to get it. Easy to use and order from this site, Thanks.

Replaced the parts that came with the center shaft kit. It solved my problem.
