5KSM150PSBGP4 KitchenAid Mixer - Instructions

Pulled the Knob off of the new Lever then pressed it on the old Lever. I had to order the whole lever because it was the part nearest the knob in the illustrated parts break-down. I RECOMMEND THAT THE KNOB BE ADDED TO THE ILLUSTRATED PARTS BREAK-DOWN.

I removed screws in a sequence that I felt wouldn't further damage the mixer until I had it completely unassembled. When I found the broken worm gear, I went online to find a part. I found an exploded view, but the part numbering was old, and the salesperson couldn't tell me what the worm gear and bracket assembly consisted of, as I only wanted the worm gear. After trying to drive the pin out of the assembly, and failing, I decided to back online and see if anyone else had a photo of the assembly. Luckily (and wisely) PartSelect,com did and that answered any questions I had. The price was better, too. Reassembly of the mixer was a cinch with the exploded view. It's working like new, and we're hoping for another 35 years of service from it! Thanks.

My girlfriends' stand mixer failed when the accessory drive cap fell into the mixing bowl and jambed the beater, spliting the worm gear. The teeth on this gear are made of nylon and are molded to an aluminum center. This part is designed to fail in situations like this, saving the more expensive transmission parts. Following a repair manual I found online, I first removed the rear cover and pulled out the cord strain relief out from the base. Next I removed the drip cup from around the base of the planetary drive. I then used a pin punch to drive out the pin holding the planetary to the center shaft and removed the planetary. The unit was then inverted and I removed 4 screws holding the bottom cover to the gear case, and the 5 screws from around the planetary drive. The bottom cover was then lifted off. Three screws holding the worm gear bracket in place were then removed and the worm gear assembly lifted out. A small pin holds the worm gear to the shaft. I drove this out with a small pin punch and the shaft and worm gear were then removed. There is also a thrust washer on this shaft, and it's location is important. Make a note for re-assembly. The new gear was installed and the entire process reversed for re-assembly. A successful repair completed! My girlfriend would have replaced this $200 appliance, but I was able to repair it for less than $30 including shipping.

bought new wire whip for mixer, simple attachment.

I just traded the old beater for the new. It was just in time for cookie making.

This was my husband's first time to taking apart any mixer - much less a heavy duty KitchenAid. Since we could not find a local repairman, the only thing to do was try to repair it himself. Using your exploded view of the machine he found on the internet, he ordered a gasket which he felt would be needed to repair the mixer. When he tore the machine down, the problem was what he had suspected - original grease had liquified and the rest had turned black in color. He went to a local auto parts store and bought a can of wheel bearing grease. He cleaned out the old oil and repacked with about a half pound of the new grease. The most difficult part of the repair was inserting the roll pin to attach the ring gear housing to the output shaft. It was impossible for him to reinsert the original pin, so he bought a new tension pin with which he was able to work. The only part he has been unable to align is the lever to lock/unlock the machine. He managed to set it enough that it locks when the lever is pushed halfway. The machine works great but I would not advise a person without any mechanical ability to try to repair these mixers.

I removed the rear cap, decorative strap, and decorative ring. Next I drove out the pin holding the mixing head. I then removed the 9 screws holding on the motor/gearing portion. This facilitated removal of the gearing from the motor assembly. I next laid in the new gears and calculated what thickness of fiber washers were needed to hold the gears in place. Reassembly was in reverse order of dissassembly.

I inherited an electric mixture from my mother-in-law after she died in 2004. The mixer must have been from the 70s. I guess I could buy a new one but I think of her each time I use it and it is almost like I keep a piece of her alive. The paint on the flat beater was chipping and instead of potentially poisoning my family I knew I needed to either replace the mixer or get a new Flat Beater. I had no idea, with the mixer being so old that a replacement part would even exist but it did! I purchased the replacement flat-beater and installed it in two seconds. Now I can use my mixer with immeasurable sentimental value and not pose any health risks to my family!

1st I check if there is a burnt smell, there was burnt smell from the board phase. Check the motor brush. Surely enough they're at max (not touching the motor anymore). Replaced both parts, put everything back together. Tested it, it works like a charm. It's been working for the last 2 weeks now!

The Kitchenaide Artisan stand mixer was purchased as a floor model. The two white beaters had worn and chipped spots on them. I purchased two replacement beaters from Part Select. They arrived the next day in great shape. Have used the mixer several times since and it has worked wonderfully.

I removed the lower unit along with the top unit, removed the gear, replaced the gear, then put back together. I removed the grease, saved most of it, then discarded what looked like the dirty grease. I cleaned inside thoroughly in case broken parts were inside. The three schematics were very helpful in re-installed. Mixer was 40 years old but works like new!

We:
tipped the mixer over on its side
pulled the old feet off
put the new feet in place and pounded them w/our fists
set it back up on its new feet

My kitchenaid mixer is at least 37 years old. Everything has worked fine after all these years except the screw cap was flimsy, still stainless steel, but not sturdy. So I tried to replace it , but was told it was too old and couldn't get the part. I contacted Part Select and found a screw cap from newer models fit perfectly and should outlast me and the mixer, it is a lot sturdier than original one. It also arrived in 2 days, which was fantastic. Thanks guys

you guys are great I ordered one day and the next day the wire whip was delivered!!!! Great job,thank you. Joanne

Looked up part replacement, ordered on line. Found part easily and waited anxiously for new part. I wanted to make cookies for the holiday season. Received part quickly, opened up packaging, put on mixer and I was back in business. Thanks so much for an easy fix. I also was pleasantly surprised at how cheap the replacement part was. Thank you, thank you for allowing me to get a new part with ease and continue to use my Kitchen Aid mixer.
