WP9703571 Motor Assembly — When Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer Stops Running, Hums Without Turning, or Smells Like Burning
The WP9703571 is the genuine OEM motor assembly for KitchenAid and Whirlpool stand mixers. The motor is the heart of the machine — when it fails, the mixer either stops running entirely, hums without the head turning, or produces a burning smell from overheating windings. Motor failure is typically caused by years of heavy use, overloading with thick doughs, or running the mixer without allowing it to cool between batches. Replacing WP9703571 restores full power and torque to the mixer. Cross-references AP4325635, PS2325379, and 9703571.

- Mixer runs at reduced speed or loses power under load
- Burning smell or smoke from the motor housing
- Mixer works intermittently and cuts out during use
- Mixer trips the circuit breaker or thermal overload protector repeatedly
- Loud grinding or rattling noise from inside the head

Installation Notes
Skill Level: Advanced — stand mixer motor replacement requires full disassembly of the mixer head and is best suited to experienced appliance repair technicians. Estimated time: 60–120 minutes. Always unplug the mixer before beginning. The motor is secured inside the mixer head casting and requires removal of the top cover, speed control assembly, and worm gear housing to access. Take photos at each disassembly stage. Torque all fasteners to spec on reassembly — over-tightening the motor mount screws can crack the casting.
Compatible Models
Compatible with select KitchenAid and Whirlpool stand mixer models. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific model number before ordering.
Many KitchenAid stand mixer “dead motor” symptoms are actually caused by worn carbon brushes — a $15–25 fix versus a full motor replacement. The brushes are the small carbon blocks that make electrical contact with the motor armature. When they wear down, the motor loses contact and stops running. Pull the brush caps on the side of the motor housing and inspect the brushes before committing to a full motor swap. If the brushes are worn to less than 1/4”, replace them first and retest.
