SOURCE: which direction do I place
Hello Wadeanderton,
In order to place the brushes the proper way you are going to need a flashlight. What you need to do is shine a light up in the brush hole and see where the indention is at the back of the hole and put the tapered edge to that side of the square and then you will have to do the same thing on the other side. I have been working on these for about 10 years and still have to look to make sure they are in the proper direction.
I hope I was able to help and would like to thank you for choosing FIxYa to answer your questions.

If you look into the brush holder you will see a stopper at the botom ,(this is so when brushes are wore the spring is not driven into armature) .. the brushes have to be inserted so the groove is lined up , try that

Hi Gail. Kitchenaid no longer has a Parts List for your model. This means that they consider it obsolete. Do an Internet search for parts. You may get lucky. Good luck!

SOURCE: k45ss kitchenaid stand mixer, i took out the brushes
jrichards - I hate it when that happens! It seems that power is not getting to the armature from the brushes so I would suspect that one or both of the brushes is (are) not seated properly. Did you remove the brushes to replace them or were you just inspecting them? I'd suggest removing them again and making sure the contacts are facing in the right direction to contact the armature. The concave contact face should be resting completely on the armature. If you've turned it 90 degrees too much, it wont' seat properly. I hope this helps... Howard, Burke, VA
SOURCE: seating the brushes on the Kitchenaid ksm90 mixer
You don't need to seat the brushes. Remove the brush caps and pull the brushes out by their springs, being VERY careful to note the position of them since they only go back in one way. Measure the free length of the spring before pulling it out. It is critical that you write down the length sticking out with very slight pressure on it so that it is seated against the armature when you measure.
Clean the curved surface of the carbon brushes with a sharp knife being careful not to scratch the curved surface. If you have them installed wrong they will not go all the way in and will not contact the armature and it will not run. Measure the length, as done above, of the spring to make sure it is in correctly!! If it is not in correctly the spring will stick out 1/4 inch longer than it should.
