Speed control stuck from sugar/flour build up on slide
Took housing off, removed computer board and disconnected speed control assembly from board. Soaked plastic slide in hot water and freed up mech. Discovered a crack in plastic slide from forcing it. Ordered new assembly and installed. TIP: Keep slide clean of substances that will jam it by cleaning occasionally with water. For a complete cleaning you will have to remove it. Total of 6 easy to reach screws.

Mixer stopped working and gave grinding sounds
Following Replacement Part Youtube instructions, I disassembled the mixer and found what caused the sounds and prevented the mixer from operating. The worm follower gear had been ground down by the worm gear. I found that the shaft from the planetary gear had not been adequately greased and siezed preventing the worm follower gear from turning. The worm gear is obviously made of harder material and thus, was able to wear away the follower. I appreciate the your help which saved having to replace a perfectly good/expensive mixer. Thanks.

Gears worn and Speed control sensor
I have to thank you at Partselect.com. You happen to help me help other people. Now I have several people bringing me their Kitchenaids to me instead of sending them in. I replaced two worm gears on a Kitchenaid 6 and the Hall sensor on a Kitchenaid 5. Very easy to do. Next week I have another Kitchenaid 5 to replace the motor on. Thankyou again for having the parts I need

Motor running but not driving mixer shaft
Remove screw and nut from back of mixer head to release the silver name band. Remove the exposed four cross head screws, (two each side), and lift off the motor and gear cover. Wipe excess grease from gear wheels to expose the retaining ring clip at top of vertical gear shaft. Using small nose circlip pliers, remove retaining ring and bevel gear wheel to expose shaft pin and worm gear. Support the shaft from below and remove pin. Lift off worn worm gear wheel allowing shaft to drop down. The horizontal worm gear shaft can now be lifted out taking care to keep assembled. Carefully clean old grease from all gears and from the gear housing, (note that broken pieces of the old worm gear are in the old grease. Repack housing with fresh high performance grease recommended for worm drives. Cover new and reuseable gears with grease. Reverse the process to reassemble the unit.

bevel gear was stripped
opened the mixer.. all screws in kitchaid are the same so not to worry... opened up and replaced the gears... and put it back together... diagram helped in that front and rear bearings of connecting gear are the same # on diagram it is easy to confuse when you put it back together, but the item number and description of each helped make sure it was in the right place. Otherwise... time to fix would have been less....

Mixer goes full speed even when on low setting.
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.

Mixer wouldn't slow down
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
