The planetary unit falls out of my mixer. Nothing seems to be securing it. I can push it back in but it won’t stay.

Mixer: Oster 16 Speed Kitchen Center base

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:33:02 -0700

I am trying to find someone to repair my Oster 16 speed Kitchen Center base. While I was using it to mix a batter, I could not change the speed and then I could small something. I have not attempted to open the unit up. It seems to be stuck in one speed. I have all of the attachments and would hate to throw this in the trash.

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 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.

Mixer: Sunbeam Mixmaster - Variable Speed Control - Explanation

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 22:43:51 -0700

I have Sunbeam Mixmaster Model 1-8B, which has had some intermittent variable beater speed issues. I'm pretty capable at most any repair, and I've determined that there's no problem with the resistor or the capacitor on my model - and I generally see/understand how the depth control in the rotated speed controller works . . . and how the depth adjustment screw functions.

I'm a little unfamiliar with how the vertical variable speed control contact interacts with the circular hole in the static horizontal metal contact point. It's obvious (because I tested it), that the further the contact moves into contact with the circular hole - the higher the beater RPM. I've adjusted the depth screw and now the beater motor engages at the 1-2 setting (the beater motor wouldn't even start previously until it reached the 7-8 setting).

Mostly, I was hoping someone could better explain how the power contacts function when the speed control is actuated (turned).

waring luna 7-qt (WSM7L): Mixer turns off automatically when in use.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 21:34:18 -0700

Mixer will turn on and run for a couple seconds but will turn off by itself. And no matter the speed either. Tried looking into "reseting" the machine but the button on the back does not do anything. Maybe its a problem with the reset button or maybe just the thermal overload protection but i can not figure it out.

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.
