KitchenAid Mixer: Need help with speed control on early 1970s K45 mixer

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 01:54:14 -0700

I accidentally loosened the bottom speed control screw, and it came out. I have the screw, a nut and a bracket that the screw seems to fit into, but if I reattach it, the mixer stays in high speed.

My mixer is pre-solid state.

KitchenAid Professional 6000HD: Repair manual to reinstall gears in transmission

KitchenAid Mixer: Pro 600 makes a clicking noise after repair and regrease

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 13:02:31 -0700

The planetary hub was falling off while using the flour mill. I watched some videos and learned how to disassemble and reassemble it. Instead of replacing the hub, I used JB Weld to reattach the shaft. I cleaned everything very well, greased all the gears according to instructions, and packed the case with new Superlube food grade grease. Now it makes a clicking noise that it never did before. It's frequency matches the speed, and it sounds like it is coming from the motor end of the transmission. Any ideas about what would cause that? The only thing I have found in researching it is the possibility of too much grease in the case, but other videos have said to pack it pretty full.

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Mixer: Does not reliably power on

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 03:04:06 -0700

My mixer does not reliably power on. I see that the larger mixers have easily accessible brushes that can be replaced to fix this problem. These are not present on the mini. How can I fix this?

KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers: Why is the speed too low at setting 10

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 06:20:34 -0700

I have an older Kitchenaid Artisan tilt head mixer and even after speed adjustment and replacement of top plastic gear assembly, food grade grease and phase control board (original spare part) the speed won’t go up after position 8. Even when properly adjusted (60 rpm at 1, 180 rpm at 6), the speed difference between position 6 and 8 is minimal and between 8 and 10 is absent.

This speed problem was already there when I was given the mixer, but I was hoping the replacements and adjustments would fix the speed problem. Please advise.

KitchenAid Classic Mixer K45SSWH: Spark while replacing brush and now the mixer won't turn on

Messed up while putting the brush spring back into the side of the mixer and left the power on. While inserting the brush head there was a pop and spark. Now when I insert the brush head (double checked the orientation) the motor still won’t turn on. Guess that means I shorted something, but is there anything I can do to fix it from here?

My kitchen aid stand mixer wont turn on. I watched a video and it said that the carbon brushes could be old. My mixer is 1 year old so i said screw it and ill take a look. Turns out the spring was not even on the carbon piece and now i cannot get the carbon brush out of the machine. I dont have tweezers small enough to pull this out and apply the spring to see if this was the problem. Is there any way to help out?

Where can I buy little parts to do preventive maintenance? Mostly washers/bushing/bearing? I'm thinking to clean the old grease and replace it with Super Lube. Thank you in advance!

PS: I have this same model 6000HD for many years and so far it's working fine but thought to open it and make sure that any wearable parts are replaced.

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Mixer: ksm3316x stops on STIR setting

Tue, 13 May 2025 00:49:22 -0700

I turn it on to STIR. It runs smoothly for a few seconds and then stops. It runs well and smoothly at other speeds so I suspect it is not a damaged gear. Why would it come to a stop so soon after starting cold.
