5K45SSBWH5 Whirlpool 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 manu ... Read more al 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.

The paint on the flat beater was chipping and instead of potentially poisoning my family I knew I nee ... Read more ded to either replace the mixer or get a new Flat Beater.

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.

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.

My early '60's Kitchenaid K45 mixer screw cap/base plate would no longer hold the bowl, so I looked for another. This item, though not an exact replica of the original, fit and works great. The design is better by being more stout than the original. Pretty straightforward installation: remove three screws, take out old base plate, install ... Read more new plate and screw down.
