turn and quit
Disassembled gear housing and replaced worm gear/bracket assembly. The hardest part was cleaning and working around what looked like 2 pound of grease. I will contact you again if I need parts for anything. Thanks.

stripped nylon drive gear
Followed the repair instructions from the manual. ...
I did notice that the replacement part had an extension on it that allowed for the gear grease to be "pulled up" onto the drive gear ( the one that broke), while the unit is running. This feature was not on the original part, but was obviously an upgrade design which was added after my particular mixer was made. I think that the extension on the bracket will help prevent the new nylon gear from binding and stripping as we use the mixer from now on.
I'm glad that PartSelect had the more modern part on hand, and not just an "overstock" from the original, inferior design.

Burnt brushes
The brushes are located on each side of the tilt head of the mixer. I used a screwdriver to remove the screws, removed the brushes & replaced with the new ones. Runs great again!!

Splash from K45 KitchenAid Mixer Bowl
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.

The white enamel coating was breaking off the mixer beater. There was a scrapimg noise when the beater was in motion.
I simply inserted the new beater into the mixer to see if it scraped the sides of the bowl. It fit perfectly and didn't scrape the bowl like the old one did.

The threads on the plate that holds the bowl had stripped and the bowl flew off when mixing
Removed old plate, screwed in new plate and works like new! Was so happy I wouldn’t have to replace my 30 year old mixer.

Bowl lock wouldn't hold when mixing bread
Repair is very straight forward. Remove the existing plate by removing the three phillip head screws. Use a regular screwdriver or knife to pop the plate off. (I cleaned the area while I was there but probably not necessary) Position the new plate with the screw holes lined up. Press down to pop the plate into position. Install original screws and tighten. You're done!

Motor speed was erratic and no high speed
Removed the rear cover to inspect the speed board. Replaced motor brushes and noticed the motor body nuts were loose and 1 was completely off. Cleaned up speed board and replaced the motor body nuts, tightened with nutdriver, adjusted speedboard governor screws and with new motor brushes worked like a charm. The very rough sounding motor noise was gone and the mixer has not operated so quietly ever.
