I need to fit a new interference filter board to my mixer, part number rfi pub 9705132 but can’t see how it screws to the body of the mixer. Any help would be appreciated.

My Kenwood Chef XL is leaking oil from the gearbox.

According to this answer (Oil leak top of machine), the grease in the gear box might have dissolved to oil, and as the gear box seems to be unsealed, that oil is leaking. If that's the diagnose, then the way to fix it would be, to either replace the gear box (which sounds appealingly easy), or to open that gearbox, clean it, and put grease in again.

Unfortunately, the technically easier way of purchasing a new gearbox seems to not be simple; they seem to be hard to get, and also not cheap. So, what remains, is the pathway to open it up, clean, re-grease, and (omg) re-assemble in a way that it works.

Ignoring my fear of having to re-assemble those potentially millions of tiny cogwheels that might await me under the hood, I firstly wonder now, how to open the gearbox: I can see 6 phillips screws, but two of them are hidden under a big white plastic cogwheel. The gap between the cogwheel and the screw head is only about 5mm, so not much chance to get a screwdriver in between. I have carefully tried to pull it up, but it sits pretty tight, and I have little desire to break it.

Does anyone have a hint?

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!

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.
