KitchenAid KHM512ER: Beaters keep falling out!

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 05:39:38 -0700

Every time I try to mixes anything harder than average beaters fall out of the mixer after a few seconds of working. Is there anything I can do to make them stay in the mixer (no I don't press the eject button accidentally).

Yesterday I was making pancake dough and then suddenly mixer started making crazy loud noise, it still works, but I'm afraid it will break because it doesn't sound normal.

KitchenAid KHM512ER: My speed switch broke

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 01:38:01 -0700

I was on my 4th use of this mixer ever, beating cream. I treated it gently as I always do, and I had it on full speed (5). Went to turn down the speed and the switch was suddenly loosey-goosey (not clicking into place for each speed like it was just doing prior), and speed stayed at 5 (my current speed) no matter what I did with the switch (also would not turn off). I had to unplug it to stop the beaters. Is there any way to repair this part? And if not, who can I give this to so it doesn’t go to landfill?

KitchenAid KHM512ER: Mixer Starts up then stops after 2 secs

I have a Kitchenaid KHM926CA and when I turn it on it will spin for two secs and then stops. I’ve disassembled it but cant seem to find anything overtly wrong with it.
