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

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.

@jamie604 "with a rolling metal cylinder" it wont be a electronic component. It appears to be either a locking pin or to supply pressure to the springs.

looks likes a capacitor not sure been a while but i would say it would probably mount back in there google the the electrical schematic on that model and find the location looks like you could fit it back in but im sure there is professionals here

marcia stenson it's not a capacitor since it is "with a rolling metal cylinder"

Es ist ein Teil vom Governeur (Fliehkraftteil ist rausgesprungen) . Es dient zur Drehzahlregelung und sitzt am Ende verriegelt auf der Ankerwelle vom Motor. Wird unbedingt gebraucht.

It appears that it's a device to regulate the current on the contacts to increase/decrease speed. As it rolls against the contacts it increases/decreases the current.

It's a type of potentiometer. You have to look for the little holes the spring legs might go into and assemble the cover. Manipulate the contacts to see the type of motion that it allows. It might be a case where you have to have another hand to place the part in place and reassemble the cover at the same time. I have many old kitchen aid mixers. This doesn't look reliable to maintain the correct speed especially under load. I'm not gloating but I'm interested in the nefarious activity of these folks. Good Pic.
