Take out the screw which holds on the silver band using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

Remove the four Phillips #2 screws located around the mixer where the band was removed.

Locate the selector switch.

Remove the two Phillips #2 screws holding the selector switch in place.

Unplug the cords attached the drive motor to the switch.
I would suggest labeling with what they go to (line, motor 1, etc) since at least for the HD version they changed the board layout so you need the labels to match them up.

The instructions are to unplug the cords from the motor but the removed selector switch pictured shows the cords were removed from the selector switch. Is there a way to remove the cords from the selector switch without breaking them? donmilo@yahoo.com
The replacement part looks like a major part in the mixer and probably costs a bundle like most replacement parts… sometimes deems the replacement “not worthy” to repair!
It’s like a car that cost $25K but, all its parts if you buy them separately, it will cost you $150K !!!
The speed selector MSRP is $89.99 and can be found on places like eBay for $35-60. For only needing some simple tools and a little time, this fix saves you from the cost of buying a new one. These are designed to be repaired/refurbished.
When the speed selector is replaced, what is the rpm for “stir”?
everything is working, but it still seems too fast at 120rpm and I can’t see a difference between speeds 6, 8, & 10.
The advice about kitchenaid600 switch was good. The form to get me able to say thanks was not.
I replaced the switchbox as the machine was having difficulty starting and switching speeds and finally would not turn on at all. Plugged it in after replacing and tested and it ran 12-15 seconds and I turned it off to install the grinder attachment and turned it on, nothing. Removed the grinder attachment and turned it on, nothing.
The head of my mixer fell off - there are 4 screws that replace it (some are missing so I can get some) but how do you put them in when the top is on? I'm confused.
Maybe start with unplugging it ?
