KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Help with a piece that fell out of the back control area

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 14:16:10 -0700

My speed control panel needed adjusting as my stand mixer would only go high speed no matter what setting. When I opened up the back to try adjusting the screws first to fix the speed problem a little piece fell out that is a U-shaped with a rolling metal cylinder on the bottom. It just fell out and I have no idea where it goes or if it’s essential to put back in but I’m guessing so. My model number is KSM155GBSN it is a KitchenAid artisan 5 quart.

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Kitchenaid Speed 2 too fast, can't adjust it

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 07:28:37 -0700

Hello everybody!

I bought an KSM150 which was bought in the Unites States around 2005. For using it here in Germany I use a Converter from 230 V to 120 V which works perfectly.

My problem is, that speed 2 is nearly twice as fast as it should be, speed 2 , 6 and 8 are nearly the same and speed 10 is a lot faster. I tried to adjust it, what didn't work. So i bought a new phase control board and replaced the old one, sadly without an effect.

Do you think it's the speed control plate or could it also be the Mixer Motor Governor which causes the problem?

Thanks for your help,

Alex

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Meat Grinder Attachment Won't Grind...It Sticks

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 10:12:12 -0700

While grinding meat using the grinder attachment, the sound of the motor has changed and then the grinder stops. I suspect it needs to be cleaned. What is the recommended method and materials to do this?

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Gradual loss of lower speeds - now only speed 6 and up work

Thu, 26 May 2022 15:41:53 -0700

My kitchenaid 220V when purchased used did not work on stir and speed 1. Eventually over time speed 2, all the way to 8 no longer worked. The machine would sometimes give a half effort to turn and then nothing. My friend took apart the whole machine and put it back together and it magically worked again. He didn't exactly know what he did. He said he just cleaned it up and reassembled it.

Fast forward 3 years, and the same thing has happened. Gradually over 2 months stir stopped working, and now only speed 6 and up work (at proper spinning speed).

Any thoughts?

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Speed control lever won't stay in off position

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 11:11:38 -0700

I have an Artisan KA about 9 years old. It has done well but over the last few months the speed control lever has started to jump out of the off position so that when you switch the power on at the mains it starts from speed one. I’ve taken the back off, and the adjustment screw wasn’t all the way in - but if I screw that in then it forces the main contacts apart until the lever moves to position 3. It feels like the lever needs more upward pressure, so that the raised bump on top of the lever is pushed more firmly into the grooves carved into the side of the body (they are hidden under the thin aluminium strip that wraps round the machine). Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks!

The wire whisk is stuck on the rotator shaft. I’ve turned it up and to the left but it’s not coming off. Also not sure if the rotator should be moving but it does in its planetary way while trying to remove it.

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: stop spinnig with a bit of force

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 04:32:27 -0700

hi all,

I have a kitchenAid that after repair return seems to work fine when the bowl is empty, however as soon as I put something inside it even the smallest amount it will stop spinning while the motor keeps going. It sound like some gear tear or slack somewhere but opening it up all seems to be good and fine (can't check the slack the motor gear and the nylon gear). Of course I tried to go back to the guy to fix it and every time he fix it it hold for one use!

Any ideas? let me know if you want me to provide some pictures

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Turns on and off on low speed setting

Fri, 03 Jun 2022 23:32:59 -0700

Hey! About 2 months ago i took the challenge to repair my kitchen aid, took my time and watched some videos on what could be the problem.

The mixer wouldnt turn on so i figured it would be a dead motor. so i measured it and it was fine so i purchased a new controlling board and swapped it. And the thing turned on. The problem now is that it shuts off and on at the lowest speed setting and im figuring if its the "speed regulator" the little brass spring that sits on the motor shaft but it seems fine.

So now im turning this question to you pros what could be the problem? The best would be if i could submit some sort of video of it running so i could explain it better

KitchenAid KSM150PSER: Why is my mixer making a very loud vibrating noise on higher speeds

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 12:30:46 -0700

I have a Kitchen Aid Artisan Mini, it’s only a few years old and I don’t use it very often/intensively. Last time I used it, as I turned up the speed above 6 it suddenly started making a very loud noise and started vibrating so much that it was moving along the counter a bit so i quickly turned it off. I tested it again without any bowl or mixer attached and it did the same thing.

Any ideas about what could be wrong with it?
