OEM Emerson Parts & Accessories

Brush Sold Individually

$4.99

Fix Number: FIX10101836
Manufacturer Part Number: 816768

This is a genuine OEM carbon brush, sold individually. Two are needed in your tool, and we suggest replacing them both at the same time, even if only one requires replacement. This is a very common replacement part, and it usually becomes obvious a repair is needed when the motor starts running poorly. Upon inspection you may notice the carbon brush has worn right down to the wire lead, and can be cracked, pitted, or burned. While inspecting the carbon brush, you will want to also check the armature for signs of damage as this can be an indication of more significant motor issues.

Installation Instructions

Greg from Ridgefield, WA

There were 2 problems. KitchenAid does not have installation instructions for this model. One step in the take down/installation wwas tough.

I found that while KitchenAid did not have any info on KCD1250S1, it did have instructions for KCBD250S1 and the two are very similar. so I used those instructions - which were not as complete as one would like, but with some experimentation they gave me enough clues that it worked. First, do not remove the red cover or the Styrofoam that is underneath the plastic. Second, the removal of the disposal was easy once I learned that the key was to stick a Allen head screwdriver into one of the round metal openings that hide above the red plastic cover. Then shove the screwdriver (which will rotate the metal fitting) clockwise when you are underneath looking upward. Catch the heavy disposal when it decides to come loose. Do everything to get the new parts into place, it's easy. Put the Flange, seals and brackets in place and tighten the screws. The next step is putting the screwdriver into one of the rotating flange metal holes, then forcing the heavy disposal completely up into the flange fitting (I had to look down through the sink drain hole and guess where everything really was), and shoving the screwdriver (rotate the flange) counter clockwise, again when looking up from beneath the disposal. I suspect that if you do this a few times it gets easier. It now works perfectly. Read more...

Installation Instructions

Wesley P. from Lake Elmo, MN

Burned out bulb in microwave.

I used the following instructions that I found online:Outer Case Removal 1. Remove screws securing outer case to chassis.
2. Push outer case approximately 1 inch to the back of
the unit, which will free case from front plate.
3. Lift outer case from chassis.
4. Reverse procedures to reinstall.
Lamp Socket Removal 1. Remove outer case, see “Outer Case Removal”
procedure.
2. Remove wire leads from lamp socket terminals.
3. Remove screw securing lamp socket to air duct
assembly.
4. Replace and reassemble in reverse order.
For our microwave, removal of the outer case required a nut driver with a special bit to fit a screw with a star shaped head with a pin in the center of the head (tamper-resistant Torx security screw) - not common in most tool boxes. I was lucky enough to have a large assortment of bits and found one to work but I expect many would end up heading to the hardware store. Bulb replacement was easy and obvious as in the instructions above. Replacing the cover took some coordination by two people to insure that the cover fit properly over the flanges around the oven before screwing in place - not difficult but took us a couple of tries to get it properly aligned and on track. I understand that there is the potential for a pretty good electrical shock from the capacitor inside a microwave if you are not careful - this explains the Torx security screws. If you're not a qualified technician you can decide if you want to make this repair. If you do, be careful to contact only the bulb assembly which was not difficult to access. Thanks to whomever provided the original instructions. Read more...
