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 Professional 600: Planetary Drive head keeps falling out during use

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 09:07:54 -0700

At some point the planetary drive head started wanting to just drop off (fall) - like, into the mixing bowl) when operating the mixer. Why does that happen? Does something need to be replaced? Did a clip or retainer disappear? I could epoxy that drive head to the vertical shaft (the one that sticks down with MANY tiny long teeth along the shaft, but that might affect repairability long term.

KitchenAid Mixer: My Kitchenaid mixer won't start.

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 01:24:06 -0700

My KitchenAid Mixer is only a bit over a year old.

Last week I was using it to make bread dough. I stopped the mixer to touch the dough to see how it was coming. It wouldn't turn back on, the mixer was a little warm so I decided to finish kneading by hand and let it cool off.

I never thought of it again until I went to make brownies today and it still wouldn't start. Tried a different plugin and no dice.

What I've done:

I checked the brushes on the sides of the mixer, they look in perfect condition. Also made sure they were inserted properly.

I checked the switch itself by taking off the back cover and used a multimeter to check that when switch is on, it was making a connection.

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

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.

I accidentally loosened the bottom speed control screw, and it came out. I have the screw, a nut and a bracket that the screw seems to fit into, but if I reattach it, the mixer stays in high speed.

My mixer is pre-solid state.

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 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.

Our Kitchenaid have been plugged to 220V instead of 110V by mistake. After a big sound, the power transformer and the Kitchenaid stop working. I tested kitchenaid on an other power transformer but it does not turn on at all. I opened it but there is no burn smell or melted cable. Do you have any idea of what I can do to try to fix it?
