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.

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).

Mixer: Handmixer startup problem question

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:36:22 -0700

SOLVED

Yo folks, anyone knows (certainly a universal problem) why handmixer does not start immediately, but takes several minutes until turns on, then works normally? Has 3 speeds, this only occurs on 1 speed. Other speeds work normal. Any components I need to replace?

This is a German vintage handmixer ABC-MIX (1960s)

Kenwood Chef: I replaced the small pulley on my kenwood chef 300 motor

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:06:07 -0700

and despite the fact that my motor was fully operational before replacing the pulley, now the motor (which is i've removed from the housing) doesn't spin unless i manually spin it first.

Then it spins normally but once i turn the dial to zero, when i turn the dial to switch it on again, the pulley/drive gear won't spin until i spin it manually again

Mixer: My Hamilton Beach 63325 Mixer only Runs on speed 6

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 01:04:11 -0700

So, My Hamilton Beach 63325 stand mixer only wants to work on speed 6. It doesn't seem to have any other issues. No weird noises, no rattling, nothing. I have a hunch it might be the motor, but I'm not too sure. Does anyone know what it could be?

Thanks,

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

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 12:45:30 -0700

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?

KitchenAid Mixer: Carbon brush stuck in machine

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 14:14:48 -0700

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?

KitchenAid Professional 6000HD: Where can I buy little parts to do preventive maintenance?

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 09:37:42 -0700

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.

Kenwood Chef: Power started cutting out and then stopped completely

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 08:34:16 -0700

KMC510 model.
Been to the local Repair Cafe and they replaced the PCB KW37865 unit with a new one I had ordered as this was the suspected source of the issue. But it didn't work.
So where else might the problem be? I don't think it's the motor itself as it as working fine and the fact that it started as an intermittent problem makes me think that it's a connection somewhere that has finally gone.
I have been searching for a schematic for the mixer to see what else might be a likely culprit, but to no avail.
Has anyone had a similar problem with a Kenwood Chef mixer and what was the fix? I'm loathed to buy more spare parts as they'll just be stabs in the dark.

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.

KitchenAid Professional 600: Planetary assembly doesn’t fall out, but drops creating a gap

KitchenAid Mixer: extra washer after cleaning/restoration

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 19:40:43 -0700

i just bought a super old KitchenAid model 3-C. I did a deep clean on it, taking most of the motor apart and cleaning out the gearbox. I've put it back together and it seems to work fine, but I've got an extra washer (as seen in photo) Usually I would pretend I didn't see the it but I'm trying to better myself lol. Does anyone know recognise it, or know where in might go?

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.
