Replacing the Motor brushes Kitchen Aid K45

The 20 + year old Kitchen Aid mixer occasional sputtered and then would not start without manually rotating the flat beater usually indicating a bad armature or brushes. fortunately the motor brushes are easily serviced. Unplug the mixer, unscrew the brush caps (one on each side) and carefully withdraw the spring-loaded brushes. Carbon brushes are not expensive and were obtained online from Goodmans. Brushes are $5.98 a set (2), and a replacement for a worn flat beater was $12.99. One important point when replacing the brushes is to note that they are not rectangular but have a diagonal edge on one side. The end of the brush holder, internally, not seen, is slightly crimped on the edge to correspond with the diagonal side of the brush. Simply speaking, note the positioning of the old brushes when they are removed and align the new brushes the same way. The other problem encountered is that the brushes must be able to slide into the holders with little or no effort. The springs will press them into contact with the armature and they must be free to slide into place. One brush on mine stuck and had to be sanded slightly to insure contact with the armature. I also have had the mixer apart to clean the armature contacts, and years ago to grease and replace a stripped gear from most likely overloading attachments, most parts are still available and diagrams downloadable/ printable for assembly/disassembly. So this crucial piece of equipment mixes on.
