I sent for a new thumb screw and screwed it in where it belongs and now I can use my other attachments.

ordered the part and put in in with the help from the instant repairman

Husband easily put back together and it works great.

the plastic covering the thumb screw cracked almost half way and lost the piece....so the new one is being used to replace this old one...very easy to install

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.

We are a pretty handy bunch here. However, the diagrams provided with the part numbers did assist in the disassembly. It went smooth and easy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

removed cover. Removed cover over gears. Used lock washer pliers to remove lock washer. Took out gears. Cleaned metal shavings from old gear and grease. Reassembled using new gear. Took about 15 minutes and saved $$ over sending mixer out for the repair.
