Dismantling was a little difficult, because the snap ring was soooo tight. (Our snap ring pliers aren't the best.) We also bought gear grease and a new gearcase housing. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the housing had broken until we were removing the old gasket. Once we had all the parts, it was basically a plug and play set up, aside from the snap ring, lol. I really appreciated the schematics that this website supplies. It helped us to know what parts to order.
I used it to make bread - it worked like a dream :)
Researched the internet for a diagram of the mixer and used that to take it apart, clean everything, then install the new gear and new grease. Works great so far.
mixer was very noisy when running and made a horrible grinding sound
My husband removed screws and took top off mixer. Then he took out the gears and cleaned them from all the grease. After he did that he could see the gears that were all worn. We went on line ordered the new gears and in a couple of days the parts were here and he put them back in and greased it all again and put the top and screws back in place. Mixer sounds much quieter. Thank you.
followed directions given, removed all the old grease .did a short test run , then replaced with new grease. the reason the gear was striped was my fault mixing too much bread at one time. we have a coffee house and use the mixer every day.
Broken thrust bearing kit caused damage to the worn gear
Disassambled the gear-train.Removed all broken pieces and grease from gear case. Cleaned gear case and all parts. Reassembled gear-train with new parts and packed all with suitable quantity of new grease. Test run with variable speeds assuming working smoothly.
Removed the top housing. Visual inspection revealed a cracked gear housing. Removed the 4 screws to remove the housing. Removed the gear retaining clip and inspected the gears and pin. The housing was the only problem. Noticed the plastic housing locating pins were missing and were stuck in the bottom aluminum housing pin receptacles. Carefully drilled out and cleaned debris. Installed the new gear housing with gasket. Tested the machine then replaced the top housing.
Last repairperson broke the top cover of the gearcase ; still need this part .
Easy ; remove belt ( 1 screw ) remove cover , and there is the complete drive . I still need the top plastic cover which is cracked and broken where the bolts go through . Please quote this part .Conradt
I have replaced so much on this mixer I can take it apart in my sleep. # speed controllers and now 2 gears. just wish we still had the 40 year old mixer we had, never half as many problems. New are not made like the old.
Speed control would go from a "mix" setting 1 to a whip setting "10" by itself.
When I ordered a replacement assembly, I was sent a "new" replacement. As I had read up on your site to number the 5 wires BEFORE I removed them, this was a great idea. The new assembly was wired differently than the original board. Although no install instructions came with the new part, it was just a matter of connecting the NUMBERED wires to the new configuration. The first time I fired it up after plugging everything in, nothing happened! I removed all the plug-in wires and reinstalled to ensure I had not gotten a tight connection because of the plastic covers over the end connectors. On my second try, everything worked as advertised! VIOLA!!!! It was a bit tough because of the tight spaces within the motor housing and the new wire routing. Just take pictures of the area BEFORE you disconnect anything and you should do o.k., since I did. 20 minutes.
Found a kitchen aid repair video. Found your site for the part I needed. The connections were not like what the video showed but there were enough connector symbols that I was able to understand where they needed to connect. Marking the connections helped for making the new connections when the new circuit board came.
