The spring and washer were deleted in order for the manufacturer to increase the profit made on each unit. The spring and washer reduced the play between the attachment and the output shaft.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Moose, KitchenAid made the decision in 2016 to no longer place the spring on the beater shaft on all Classic and Artisan Tilt Head Mixers. By removing the spring and washer on the shaft, it is a benefit as it leaves the beater shaft much easier to clean without the spring. It is also not necessary for the operation of the unit as the tools stay locked without them.
