KSM100PSDP0 KitchenAid Mixer - Instructions

The shield works sufficiently. Note that the shield is not a continuous circle as shown in the picture. This actually can be an asset because it can be installed or disassembled without stopping the mixer of having to lift the head while running.

replaced gear, and brushes.

I watched the university of YouTube videos, and followed their instructions.

watched how to repair

Followed web site's videos. One step left out of video.

I am not handy, but was able to follow this YouTube video and do this repair easily and successfully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QsgPIL9FpA

I did take the mixer apart first to verify that the worm gear was the issue, then ordered the part from you site. I received it quickly and was able to do the repair and get back to mixing in a few days!

Found control backplate out of adjustment. Should be nominal 3/8".Broken speed control spring which attaches to backplate bottom.
I recommend Loctite Blue to complement locknut's when adjusting RPM of "Stir" speed

Followed instructions found onllne at Kitchenaid.com and replaced seals with parts obtained from PartSelect.

First i went to the Kitchen Aid web site and found a video on how to take a part the mixer. Followed the instructions from the video and it was very easy. The grease in the machine was black so i cleaned it out of the transmission and repack it with hi-heat wheel bearing grease that i got from a auto parts store it took about a 1/2 lb. then put the gasket in and back together and put the o-ring on. Have run for awhile and it is ok. Want to say that these are very well built machine.

Went to partselect, found model number, printed blow-up of mixer. Figured out disassenbly procedure. Drove out main pin removing mixer head from stand. Save pin. Drove out pin in mixer main shaft which allowed planetary head to be removed. Save pin.
Removed stainless steel bezel to expose screws for removal of bottom half of mixer body. Removed screws and carefully separated mixer halves using two screwdrivers as prybars. Care must be exercised to prevent chipping of paint on body.
Separated body. cleaned grease from gears to find actual problem. Removed broken geartooth and grease near broken part to make sure no small broken chips remained. Removed pinion shaft assembly, drove pin from gear releasing broken pinion/shaft. Save pin/
Cleaned grease from pinion shaft assembly using mineral spirits and a small brush to reveal how part could be disassembled. Ordered part immediately on-line. Part arrived 1 business day after it was ordered.
Reversed process for replacing pinion shaft. Applied fresh grease obtained from excess already in mixer, spun pinion shaft to make sure grease was properly distributed. Reinstalled pinion shaft assembly. CAREFULLY plugged in mixer and jogged motor to make sure all was free and that mixer worked. If you can repair this mixer, you should have enough sense to do this diagonistic. Keep fingers away from all moving parts, don't touch expposed electric wires. Plug in only after making sure switch is in off position. Jog using mixer switch. Make sure mechanism is free.
Complete re-assembly by following blow-up and reversing disassembly steps. It may be good to write down you disassemblly procedure if it is possible that you won't be reassembling within a day or two.

Replaced gasket and O-ring. Problem solved. POC (Piece of Cake).

Took each area apart. Replaced the gear and reassembled it.

Unscrewed the existing screw cap, put the new one in place, replaced the screws. So easy!

You tube has great instructions! I would suggest when you buy a part to let customer know that they need a food grade gear grease ordered to complete the reinstall of all gears and body parts!

Watched a couple of youtube videos and it was easy.
