This guide will provide a detailed step-by-step instructions on how to replace the power cord for the KitchenAid 5.5/6.0/7.0-quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers (Models: KSM55/KSM60/KSM70). Additionally, a lot of work was put into ensuring that this guide applies for all voltage/frequency variants of these models (e.g., 5KSM70, 7KSM55, etc.) and all plug types.
NOTE: The 7.0-quart modes (KSM70) are notably different from the ProLine 7.0-quart models (Models KSM7XXX, where XXX is a three-digit number, e.g. KSM7586).
As different locations can use not only different voltages/frequencies but also different plugs, there are a number of permutations across these combinations and model numbers. Use the following table to determine the appropriate Whirlpool Part Number for your power cord:
