KG25H7XWH5 KitchenAid Mixer - Instructions

it just screw in.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Took mixer apart and then the gear compartment. inspected components. Replaced the worn gears and re-greased the new parts. Put the gear compartment back together, tested the operation of the unit and then replaced the rest of mixer, re-tested and declared victory.

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

remove the cover,take out four screw from gear box,remove the gear box,clean all gears,then you see damage gear,replace it ,install new grease.

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.

Removed the cover. Removed the gear assembly cover.. Extracted the C clip with a tool. Removed the bevel gear. Pushed out the dowel pin. Used rubber mallet to push the shaft off the worm gear. Replaced the washer and the worm gear. Used a 1/2" diameter PVC, 3" long over the shaft and on the gear to push back the shaft through the gear with rubber mallet. Pushed back the dowel pin. Reinstalled the C clip. Replaced broken hub bevel gear. Added more grease. Placed the gear cover with 4 screws just tight enough to hold the cover but still allows movement. Turned the mixer to the lowest speed. Allow the cover to self adjust so that the gears have the smoothest sound. Tightened the screws while while maintaining the smooth sound. Turned off the power. Replaced the cover.
