3KSM150PSTER5 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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.

remove the old screw and screwed the new part in place. I like your link because it shows a picture of the fixture and you can find the part you need real easy. Will order from you again when I need it.

just took the unit apart and replaced the worn gear and bracket . Then took the old worn gear and bracket apart and replaced the worn gear . Then put the assy back together and now I have a spare
