This is a replacement KitchenAid Mixer Speed Control Plate, the speed control plate controls both the speed of the mixer and it’s on/off function. The speed control plate is found in many of KitchenAid’s 4.5 and 5 quart mixers, including models that start with K45SS, K5SS and KSM.
The speed control plate is approximately 3” by 2 1/8” (not including terminals on side). The speed control is located at the rear of the mixer, and is visible once the mixer end cover is removed. The speed control plate has a screw located at the bottom that is used to adjust speeds 6-10 of the mixer, and also two speed adjustment spring loaded screws on the top which are used to adjust speeds 1-5 of the mixer. It also has the brass bar at the bottom which when "opened & closed" turns the mixer on and off.. This speed control plate connects to your on/off lever with the speed control spring and speed control link. If you need either of those parts you will also want to order the speed control lever kit # 4176230.
The speed control plate, WPW10119326 will replace the W10119326, 4176137, 4162402, and 240904-2.
