Planetary Came looss and beaters fell into food
I went to YouTube and there are several Mixer repair videos that go through step by step. Four ounces of food sate grease is also required as the grease must be changed. This appears to be a a common problem. One issue that I discovered is that the old planetary had an Oring in the shaft The replacement parts do not. They must have changed the design so please make sure that food safe grease is used.
2nd speed on mixer would not come on at times without jiggling switch
Removed top cover of mixer which was very easy. Then marked the 4 wires so they could be plugged back to new switch correctly. Removed 2 attaching screws to remove switch and one squeeze connector. Installed new switch after plugging on 4 wires. Snapped squeeze connector in place. Reinstalled top cover.
The stand mixer would not rotate at low speed. Upon disassembly found one of the two alignment pins of the upper gear case broken.
1. Removed the decorative band then the upper motor cover. 2. Removed the upper gear case cover. Found one of the two alignment pins broken. 3. Inspected gears. 4. Cleaned out old grease. 5. Repacked with new food grade grease. 6. Reassembled.
Unscrew the top and remove it , 4 more screws to remove the top of gear box , wipe out the old grease , lift the gears , but to remove the center gear you need a special narrow tip plier to remove the snap ring . Changed the center gear , apply new food grade grease and with reverse order putting back all remaining parts . Worked fine .
Board fails, causing motor runs at high speed only
3d time in 20 years, but the mixer itself is built like they did 20 yrs ago PartSelect had the part in my mail box in *20 hours* from online order! See https://www.ereplacementparts.com/kitchenaid-4kp26m1xmc4-professional-stand-mixer-parts-c-114958_114959_115101.html for instructions. BUT - they changed the design so a power switch previously separate from (to the left of) the circuit board is now a microswitch integrated on the board, leaving you with ONE LESS WIRE. Attached is the fix diagram & directions for the new design.
removed top housing, removed gear housing cover, removed all gears, cleaned out all grease, obtained gears and new housing cover, fit all gears in housing, filled with grease and put on housing cover. Reassembled mixer.
motor would surge after a few moments of running then die.
so easy to remove the switch. I first marked the wires, 1-2-3-4 and then removed them from the old switch. removed the old switch and replaced with the new one and plugged in the wires as per markings. tried it out before replacing the top and it works perfectly. no longer timid about effecting repairs on my own. the diagrams on the website were a great help. this is a great company to do business with. part was here in 3 days.
Remove covers, open gear box, remove lock ring and gears to deterime which gears were bad. Remove old grease, install new gears and pack with new grease.
Really no help from Kitchen Aid sources; but phone call to PartSelect solved the problem. Kitchen Aid repair line didn't even know the part #! Thanks to Part/Select, Christmas cookies are being made.
