W10380496 Carbon Brushes for KitchenAid Mixers | Replaces 9706416 W10260958 WPW10380496 PS3495098 AP5178083（2PCS）

When doing other maintenance on my KitchenAid, I learned about these brushes. Since my unit was over 10 years old, I decided to replace them, and indeed, the originals were worn down a good 40% or so. These fit, and the unit worked as it should. I kept the old ones as 'spares' if these got worn down while I ordered others. Now this is VERY IMPORTANT! When you remove the originals, do so very carefully so that you can remove the originals in the correct orientation and insert the new ones the same way. IF you rotate them in any direction other than the right way, the unit will not power on. On the Kitchenaids, this is spring loaded, and if you remove the cap and do not do so correctly (slowly and with pressure on the screw holding them in), the brush will spring out, making it rather challenging to see the correct orientation. True for both sides. For this reason, I'm giving ease to install 4 starts, but this is a design issue of how the brushes must be inserted, not how this brand was created.

Was quoted some ridiculous prices to fix my grandmother's Kitchen Aid by reputable servicers, but was able to replace the brushes myself fairly quickly and easily thanks to these parts. Works great now!

At first glance, I thought the carbon was too long because my brushes were actually chewed up so bad. The springs are a tad longer than the originals but I gently pushed them in and secured them. I did a regrease and replaced the plastic worm gear and this sucker sounds like it is turbocharged now! This was for KitchenAid Pro 450 (lift bowl model) that's about 15 years old. You can find YouTube videos to help you and Amazon has the parts you need, some of them coming in kits with snap ring pliers included but you will not need snap ring pliers unless you are completely taking apart the planetary gear, which is not necessary for a standard regrease job. What would help you is 1/8 punch and a 1/16 punch to get the pins out. But we did it with old bolts and lots of hammering. It went back together a lot faster and easier than it came apart!

Works perfect in our KitchenAid Mixer. Our 20+year old mixer was starting to struggle with thicker doughs. We bought these and replaced the brushes for the motor in no longer than 2 minutes. Instant increase in power and torque. I would definitely buy again. I cannot attest to the durability of the product.

Fit perfectly in my early 80s KitchenAid stand mixer, replacing the original brushes. Installation's a breeze. Just keep your fingers lightly on the screw as you undo it, lest the old brushes springen-sproingen their way across the room. The brushes are "keyed," which means they can only be installed properly one way. Get a flashlight and shine it in the hole, and it's easy enough to see which way they go in. Or just note the orientation of the old brushes when you take them out. I probably didn't need to replace these, but while I had the whole thing apart to change out the (also original) grease I figured I'd put in new brushes at the same time.

all gears were good. I have worn-out brushes. Replaced brushes. The mixer is like new again.

this is cheap product. I try installing and bruch just stuck in the mixer. when tried to move out, spring broke. returning for refund, garbage

Replaced the brushes on my 25yr old mixer. Just pay attention to how yours come out they will not work if flipped the wrong way.

1st order not delivered, Amazon dared to declare handed to resident, so I guess that's on Amazon; awaiting refund. 2nd set... 1 got stuck in Mixer, snapped off, and I spent 90mins trying to get it back out... I was going to post a picture but I still fuming. Original worn out bushes put back in... 3rd set in order from a different supplier. I will try again tomorrow!

Entretien d’un mélangeur très utiliser

If I could give zero stars I would. These springs were supposed to be compatible with my mixer. Upon install the end broke off and dropped into the mechanism of the mixer. Don’t recommend!
