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

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 12:56:38 -0700

I bought a used kitchen aid pro 600 6qt. It made jerky movements when mixing. So, I took it all apart. The gears are all fine. But the planetary assemble drops down about a quarter inch and the stationary gear in the main housing slides down with it and creates a gap and jerky movement. Help!

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.

KitchenAid Mixer: Doesn't actually turn off

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 13:46:54 -0700

I have a Kitchenaid mixer that's about 10 years old (before they went to plastic insides), and it no longer turns off. Sometimes when I plug it in, it is off, but often, it's already on, and to stop it completely, I have to either push back the speed lever or unplug it. I love this thing, and would love to know how to fix this problem. I'm figuring it's a worn out gear or such, but none of the websites I've found show how to fix this particular problem. Thanks for any help!

KitchenAid Mixer: KitchenAid Mixer head wobbles

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 15:06:21 -0700

I have the KitchenAid Mixer Model KSM180QHSD which is just a 100 year edition, tilt head 5 quart mixer. I bought it new and it's about 3 years old and is only used about once per month. The problem is that when I use it, the head wobbles even though I have it in locked position. I've done the dime test to ensure the beater is not hitting the bottom. I've also checked that the pin is not sticking out. This issue is most noticed when I'm creaming cold cubed butter and sugar, or when the dough consistency gets thicker. Any ideas what the issue is?

Mixer: Ballbearings fell out - how to repair?

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 14:11:55 -0700

Hi folks,

I have a a Vintage (2nd hand) Sunbeam Mixmaster (1950's A10 model) stand mixer. It's been working fine (motor and electrical) until recently when the ball bearings (I suspect) at the bottom of the base just decided to fall out. The rest works just fine (I.e motor and mixer seems to be working just fine).
Zoom in on where the parts fell out of:

The bits I found

The whole base plate (this is the underside, I haven't taken anything off)

Any clue how to fix this? I'm relatively handy, but ball bearings are just a mystery to me. I can't seem to find parts manuals for this either, given how old it is, and even if I did, I'd likely need some help with installation/repair.

Thanks in advance!

Kenwood Mixer: KM005 Titanium Major - Motor jumps during usage, leading to loud noise

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 02:22:08 -0700

I have disassembled my mixer to try and work out why the gears jump every use, leading to a loud noise. The pulley is movable and I am trying to find out if that is meant to be so, or if it meant to be tighter. If the pulley (with pin) has gone, I will certainly need a new one, but I am looking for some advice as to how to diagnose this correctly. Is this something you can help with?

Thanks in advance

Kenwood Chef: Flashing light code - Kenwood kvl80 chef xl Stand Mixer

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:24:14 -0700

I have a Kenwood kvl80 chef xl Stand Mixer.

This mixer was in storage for a while and not used a lot. When we started using it again, it would start but when you stop to add to the mix it won’t start again. When you leave it overnight it does the same, start but stop working after you stop it to add to the mix.

Now it does not want to start at all. When you start it the light flashes x9 times very fast then pause and then flashes x3 times slow ( This code/sequence of and the x9 and x3 flashes just keep on repeating till you switch it off.)

I just want to know what could be wrong and what does this code ( flashes) means?

Regards

Kenwood Mixer: KW300 - Dough Hook Spindle Snapped Off Inside Planet Hub

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 04:17:46 -0700

Hi,

We have a Kenwood Chef KW300. Unfortunately the spindle for the dough hook has snapped and part of it is stuck inside the planet hub of the machine. I have stripped down as far as I can but cannot remove the 'Sun Gear'. Does anyone have any advice as to how I remove this component? I have attached a photo of the Sun Gear, there appears to be some sort of nut fixing what looks like a fly wheel in place. The nut is round with a flat on one side. I have tried pliers and pipe wrenches, but all that does is rotate the entire sun gear/flywheel mechanism.

Any advice would be much appreciated,

Many Thanks,

Nick.
