KitchenAid Professional 600: Stop working after being plugged to 220V instead of 110V

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 08:30:53 -0700

Our Kitchenaid have been plugged to 220V instead of 110V by mistake. After a big sound, the power transformer and the Kitchenaid stop working. I tested kitchenaid on an other power transformer but it does not turn on at all. I opened it but there is no burn smell or melted cable. Do you have any idea of what I can do to try to fix it?

KitchenAid Mixer: Mixer going too fast despite adjustment

Sat, 30 May 2026 08:00:56 -0700

Hi folks!

Got a bit of a weird one and I was wondering if anyone had seen something similar.

It's an American model mixer, KSM150 (KSM150PSOB), came to me initially with uncertain history and no speed control. (I'm in the UK, running it off of a step-down transformer, which I know isn't ideal, but I have anecdotal evidence that this works fine for many friends with US model mixers).

When it turned up, the weights were disassembled from the governor and they were loose in the case.

I reassembled the governor and replaced the phase control board (making sure it was the correct part for the US model), and after that there was a difference in the speed settings, but all the speeds still seemed too fast no matter how I adjusted the speed control plate.

I then replaced the governor AND the speed control plate. The changes in speed between settings seem more pronounced now, but stir is still more than twice as fast as it should be no matter where I set the speed adjustment screws.

I might just have to give up on it, but thought I'd ask in case anyone knows what else it could be?

Thanks in advance!

KitchenAid Professional 600: Accessory drive won't turn unless pushed in.

Mon, 18 May 2026 16:12:40 -0700

My Kitchen Aid Pro 600 recently stopped turning the planetary shaft. I disassembled it and found that the play in the shaft was allowing the bevel gear to slide above the pin that engages the shaft. I replaced the composite washer at the bottom of the planetary shaft with at thicker one, and that eliminated the vertical play in the shaft so the bevel gear again engages the pin; however, now the accessory drive shaft will only turn if held in from the outside, as though it were missing a thrust washer, but there was no washer when I first disassembled it months ago for a different repair, and none of the videos I've watched show one, either. Seem unlikely that the gears would be that worn, but I'm no expert. Any ideas?

KitchenAid Mixer: My Kitchenaid mixer won't start.

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 01:24:06 -0700

My KitchenAid Mixer is only a bit over a year old.

Last week I was using it to make bread dough. I stopped the mixer to touch the dough to see how it was coming. It wouldn't turn back on, the mixer was a little warm so I decided to finish kneading by hand and let it cool off.

I never thought of it again until I went to make brownies today and it still wouldn't start. Tried a different plugin and no dice.

What I've done:

I checked the brushes on the sides of the mixer, they look in perfect condition. Also made sure they were inserted properly.

I checked the switch itself by taking off the back cover and used a multimeter to check that when switch is on, it was making a connection.

KitchenAid Mixer: Need help with speed control on early 1970s K45 mixer

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 01:54:14 -0700

I accidentally loosened the bottom speed control screw, and it came out. I have the screw, a nut and a bracket that the screw seems to fit into, but if I reattach it, the mixer stays in high speed.

My mixer is pre-solid state.

KitchenAid Mixer: Pro 600 makes a clicking noise after repair and regrease

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 13:02:31 -0700

The planetary hub was falling off while using the flour mill. I watched some videos and learned how to disassemble and reassemble it. Instead of replacing the hub, I used JB Weld to reattach the shaft. I cleaned everything very well, greased all the gears according to instructions, and packed the case with new Superlube food grade grease. Now it makes a clicking noise that it never did before. It's frequency matches the speed, and it sounds like it is coming from the motor end of the transmission. Any ideas about what would cause that? The only thing I have found in researching it is the possibility of too much grease in the case, but other videos have said to pack it pretty full.

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Mixer: Does not reliably power on

My mixer does not reliably power on. I see that the larger mixers have easily accessible brushes that can be replaced to fix this problem. These are not present on the mini. How can I fix this?

KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers: Why is the speed too low at setting 10

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 06:20:34 -0700

I have an older Kitchenaid Artisan tilt head mixer and even after speed adjustment and replacement of top plastic gear assembly, food grade grease and phase control board (original spare part) the speed won’t go up after position 8. Even when properly adjusted (60 rpm at 1, 180 rpm at 6), the speed difference between position 6 and 8 is minimal and between 8 and 10 is absent.

This speed problem was already there when I was given the mixer, but I was hoping the replacements and adjustments would fix the speed problem. Please advise.
