Description: As of 2016, KitchenAid stopped putting the springs on the beater shaft of their consumer mixers to save costs. This spring served the purpose of securely locking the mixing attachments onto the shaft, giving that extra piece of mind that the attachments wouldn't come detached. The spring also serves to extend the life of the shaft and mixer attachments by reducing wear between them during use. As a mechanical engineer, I knew I could reverse engineer the parts needed to bring back this missing feature. Sourcing the perfect parts was tricky but the installation was a breeze so I figured I'd simplify this process for others and start selling the parts as an all-in-one kit that takes all the measurement, testing, and sourcing out of the equation. This kit not only ensures secure attachment of your mixing accessories but also brings back that satisfying feeling of confidence every time you use your mixer. No more worries about attachments coming loose during your culinary adventures. With this all-in-one kit, we've taken care of all the hard work for you, sparing you the hassle of sourcing and measuring the parts yourself. This kit will fit all KitchenAid Tilt-head & Bowl-lift mixers from 3.5 Quarts to 7 Quarts! Including Classic, Artisan, Pro-Line If it doesn't fit your mixer for whatever reason, please reach out and I will make it right! These parts are made from a high quality 304 stainless steel so they won't corrode or rust. Kit contains:1X 304 Stainless Steel Washer1X 304 Stainless Steel Spring2X 304 Stainless Steel Snap Ring NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A 2023 MODEL YEAR MIXER THIS KIT WILL LIKELY NOT WORK FOR YOU DUE TO A REDESIGN OF THE MIXER PARTS.
