KT2651XBU KitchenAid Stand mixer repair?

[Rvelazquez1123]

Hello,

Hope you and yours have been well through all of this. Sorry I couldn't find a more appropriate board. Please let me know if I should move my thread somewhere else. Hopefully someone out there knows about stand mixers!

I'm fixing an older model KitchenAid and I'm looking for your expertise.

I have a KT2651XBU serial # WL3063260.

I'm looking to replace the older 8-spline motor, part # 9703571. I ordered a new 10-spline motor, part # W10247536 as it was listed online as a suitable replacement.

Unfortunately, the new W10247536 seems a bit too big. It doesn't seem to sit properly in the housing.

Do you have a suggestion? Is there a 10-spline motor that will fit this model? Or could I somehow frankenstein parts from each motor to make it work?

Any knowledge is greatly appreciated. Thanks again and take care!

Why not install the correct motor?

Yeah that's a fair point. I've read that the 8-splines were unreliable. The 10-splines chew through gears less. It's also hard to find the worm gear that works for the 8-spline.

You mean like this one?

It appears to be in stock at several vendors.



Sorry but I don't know how you can modify the product to use parts other than what it was designed to use.

Thanks so much for your quick reply Dan.

Can you confirm that those do in fact work with the 8-spline motors? Because according to the description on this site: ereplacementparts.com/gear-worm-new-version-p-621990.html they don't.

Appreciate your help with this!

It's a mate for motor # 9703571 from model KT2651. I have no idea about 8, 9 or 10 splines or any other number. I go by part numbers. I have no personal experience with it.
