KG25H0XBK5 KitchenAid Mixer - Instructions

I did not do the repair myself, however, I contacted a suggested service company which in turn was a company I had used before when I had problems with my JenAir microwave. Excellent service, prompt and very professional. Thank you JenAir for your assistance in providing promptly the parts needed to complete this job.

Removed plastic cover, removed grease and put in new mixer and put new cover back on.

Replaced cracked plastic gearcase/transmission with new medal one and replaced hub bevel gear attachment, bevel gear and gasket.

disassembled unit gear head and replaced broken part, then reassembled

After removing the single philips screw from the back of the unit, the metal band will come off. Under the band you will find 4 phillips screws. Remove them to get the cover off of the unit. Once open, access the gear box in front by removing the four philips screws holding the gear box cover down. Remove any old grease from the unit as there may be pieces of broken gear in the grease that will damage the new gears. I used a small plastic scraper, some paper towel, rubber gloves and q-tips to get all of the grease out. Try to make a note of how much grease you removed and from where, so that you can replace about that amount later and in the correct spots. To remove the bevel gear remove the split ring holding the bevel gear down on the vertical drive shaft. Once the ring is removed it will be easier to move the bevel gear, but I found that it was somewhat press fitted on the shaft and I needed to use some channel locks to gently rock it back and forth to get it moving up the shaft. I then, also, (since I was in there) replaced the worm gear underneath the bevel gear by tapping the retaining pin out of the hole above the worm gear and then tapping down on the vertical drive shaft with a hammer to push the planetary gear down and out of the unit. Once free, I then regreased the planetary and reinserted it in the holder taking care to align the gears on the shaft and the panetary housing. Then I tapped the worm gear all the way down to the base taking care to keep the recessed notch on the top of the worm gear parallel to the pin hole above it. Then I replace then pin and tapped the bevel gear down onto the top of the worm gear and replaced the split ring. Realigned all of the horizontal and vertical gears and then repacked the grease. Closed up the gear box and test ran the unit on low. THen closed up the rest of the unit in reverse of opening.

watched the youtube video on how to repair a Kitchenaid Pro 600.

removed cover. Removed cover over gears. Used lock washer pliers to remove lock washer. Took out gears. Cleaned metal shavings from old gear and grease. Reassembled using new gear. Took about 15 minutes and saved $$ over sending mixer out for the repair.

I unplugged the mixer, then I removed the Phillips screw holding the beauty ring, then removed the 4 screws that hold the motor housing together. I removed the housing top, and unscrewed the speed control switch. I marked each one of the connectors of the switch (there are 4) 1-4 then disconnected the speed sensor from the switch and the motor. Replaced the new sensor and connected that to the new speed control switch. reconnected the connectors to the terminals I took them from ( 1 - 4 ) screwed it into place. replaced the top motor housing, I screwed that back with the four screws. replaced the beauty ring and screw. plugged it in and tested it and it was like new

Removed one screw to remove deco band around mixer body. Removed four screws under band to remove mixer top. Removed two screws holding switch. Removed wires one at a time putting them in the same position on the new switch. Re-attached switch, mixer top, and deco band. Works perfectly.

the plastic covering the thumb screw cracked almost half way and lost the piece....so the new one is being used to replace this old one...very easy to install

It took longer to remove from the box, Less than 10 seconds to install, push on shaft and quarter turn, that's it simple, now back to making homemade Marsh mellow covered in chocolate. New whip is sturdy and strong.

This is Cindy, the person who ordered the part for Nancy. She was absolutely thrilled that she got it the very next day! She thought I had paid extra for overnight delivery! She is so pleased she doesn't have to listen to the noise the other wire whip was making when turned on. Cindy

Great experience. Reasonable cost. Quick delivery. Would certainly use PartSelect again
