4KG25H3XER5 KitchenAid Mixer - Instructions

At the back of mixer is 1 screw that holds metal band. Remove to reveal 4 screws that hold top half of mixer. Inside locate transmission housing remove 4 more screws. Inside housing carefully scrape away grease and broken bits of gear. Take out worm gear drive shaft wipe off and inspect. Clean up grease inside tranny locate keeper ring on vertical shaft spread and slide off use 2 screwdrivers to jimmy gears up. Replace with new parts put back together and use fresh grease. Not too hard at all and alot cheaper than a new kitchen-aid.

I ordered the switch control. Opened up the top part of the mixer using a Philips screwdriver. Then I unscrewed all the screws that connected the old part. Disconnected the wires, connected them to the new panel , screwed everything back together and i was done. It was that easy.

Took it apart, found stripped gears, a common problem. Reviewed parts diagram on your website. Got the parts, reviewed the diagram, removed defective parts, used retaining ring pliers. put it back together, put new grease in, tried it out. Very easy fix

I carefully removed the cover of my mixer. I first made sure that all of my part numbers corresponded, then I labeled the 5 wires that needed to be disconnected. I then disconnected the wires, removed the two screws holding the part in place, switched out the old for new, reconnected all of my wires. Mades sure everything looked tight, and put my cover back on. Works like a charm. I cried because what I really thought was going to be a $200+ fix, ended up costing me less than $50! And it was so easy.

I first ahd to remove the original feet by removing screws that held them in place. The new feet that I purchased were different then the original. They were a push in type and not held in by screws. I had to modify the base by drilling the foot holder to accept the new style feet. Once this was done, the feet were installed and looked good.

unscrewed the old one........screwed in the new one, no chance for electrocution or power tools..........darn!

Unplugged unit. Took top housing off of mixer (half dozen small screws). Disconnected speed control circuit card from five wiring connections. Removed card from mixer chassis (two screws). When new part came (the next day) I reversed the procedure in about 5 minutes and had a working mixer! Thanks.

Just twisted it in to place. Parts Select was awesome! Thank you!

removed cover annd snap ring removed gear and replaced with new,

This is the tightening screw that holds the attachments into the motor unit of the mixer. Found your web site and reordered 2 replacement pieces (in case one breaks!). Very EZ and user friendly. Thank you!

This was easy once Igot all the parts. The mxer wouldn't mix and when I opened it up the drive gear between the motor and the planetary drive was missing some teeth. Turns out the bearing, which was sintered bronze, had broken so I needed a new gear, new bearing, and the jumping gear had broken the housing so I needed a new housing. The new gearing ( really a bushing since there are no rollers or balls in the "bearing") waws now steel and the molded plastic housing is now cast metal. Some new grease ( I had to buy a quart can of grease to get two tablespooons) a new gasket and put the screws in and we're back in business. Total repair time 10 minutes, total time to get all the parts 3 weeks,

Watched several videos on repair. Noted part placement while disassembling. Found problem, ordered and received parts. Cleaned out all old grease. Greased all parts and reassembled per recommendations, paying attention to the bearing race and washer placement. Firmly tensioned all fasteners, cleaned up and tested.

Removed 4 screws on mixer top. Removed 4 screws to gear box cover. Ordered replacement gears from Parts Select. Removed snap ring. Repaced two gears. Applied gear grease, replaced snap ring & screws. Gears at local appliance dealer were $39 each. Total parts from Parts Select + shipping under $20, received in 3 days!

The insertion part of the foot was tapered to fit in the hole in the mixer. Simple pressure was not the answer. So I used a small key, placed it on the bottom of the foot, after applying a little vegetable oil on the foot, and tapped it into place. Worked well.Joe

Took the mixer apart many times. Grease all over the place. put new gears in still noisy. The worm gear must have been cut wrong. The noise still there. The part select sent out a new worm gear. I did not put it in yet. I put the old worm gear in and the noise stopped even though it shows wear. Have not decided whether I will put it in yet.I would also like to add that the people that I talked to at the this site were very very helpful and great just great---------
