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....

Variable speed switch replacement
Easy repair that replaced the variable speed switch. The broken switch only ran at high speed. To replace the mixer would cost at least $500. The new switch was $45 and was an easy install. I marked the four electrical leads with a Sharpie and loosened the two screws holding the switch. The repair was super easy. It was like heling an old friend recover from an illness.

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.

Stripped worm gear
Looked at the schematic for this model on Parts Select. Removed Aluminum band screw, removed the 4 screws that hold the top of the mixer. Lifted the top off. Removed 4 screws and lifted the gear case. Removed snap ring and took off tapered gear. Removed pin and removed worm gear. Picked out the metal, in the grease, from the old worm gear, using a magnet then inserted new worm gear and put it back together in reverse order. There was plenty of grease and didn't need to add any.
