wire whip came apart
Really no help from Kitchen Aid sources; but phone call to PartSelect solved the problem. Kitchen Aid repair line didn't even know the part #! Thanks to Part/Select, Christmas cookies are being made.

The mixer was given to my wife. Sometimes it would work or not.
When I took the back cover off I found two parts that "could" be the problem. The speed control plate was cracked which explained the spotty working. I ordered both parts and installed them very easily. The parts fit perfectly and resulted in the mixer working perfectly. I can't say enough about the excellent parts. They were perfect.

Damaged the worm gear in our 300w mixer.
After stalling the mixer while mixing dough I found that the motor still functioned but the blade didn't move. I basically took the mixer into my shop along with a digital camera to record any complicated disassembly procedure I might have to deal with for reassembly and proceeded to disassemble the mixer. Once apart, I cleaned the mixer parts, removed the broken worm gear and bracket, and got online for someone that carried the replacement piece. PartSelect sent the replacement within 3 days and now it works great again.

The mixer started getting weak like a gear was stripped and then quite working all together.
I removed the decorative band that covers the seam by removing 1 screw. I then removed the top portion of mixer by removing 4 square head screws. You will then see the gear housing in the front of the mixer. Remove the 4 screws holding that on. There are no spring that are going to pop out and you never know where they went, but be careful because there is a lot of grease and a gear that it just laying in there on the right side. You will see the stainless shaft with a couple on gear cogs on it. Remove the retaing spring from the shaft and pull the top gear off, it may be a little snug. You will then see the dowel pin, mine was sheared off but I could see where it was. Be sure to remove the broken pieces. Use the punch to knock out the remaining pin. Replace with new pin making sure it is evenly exposed on both side of the shaft. Replace the top gear, then the retaining spring, the the gear housing cover, then the mixer top cover and finally the decorative band. Be sure to unplug before you start. These mixers are expensive and expensive to have someone fix them. I ordered 2 pins because shipping is a little high and the pin is cheap. I fixed this for $17.00 total and have a spare pin.

Broken whip, no local availability
No nstallation required, simply attach.
Your website was the only one that made sense. I am blind and follow the instructions with a screen reader. I had no difficulty. It was much easier than this questionaire.

Mixer still ran, but seemed to be getting very loose as if gears or a shaft were wearing out.
I followed the video provided online. The model shown was not exactly the same as mine, but very close. The step-wise progression demonstrated on the video helped a lot. I had to double check the video a couple of times which added to the work time....I could probably do it again without the video in under 1 hour. As shown in the video, I laid out an old towel across two pieces of 2x4 which helped keep the mixer head in a position that was easy to work on and also prevented scratches.

Mixer bowl was slipping off the base when in use
Replacing the base retaining bracket(what KitchenAid calls the screw cap) solved the problem immediately. The entire replacement effort took no more than a minute requiring removing 3 screws, discarding the old base, putting in the new one, and putting the screws back in. PartSelect was very easy to do business with. They shipped the part the day I ordered it and it arrived as scheduled. Can't be easier than that.

The head of my machine was sagging
and I thought replacing the hinge pin would fix it, I used an awl to push out the old pin then used the new pin to push the old one all the way out. That did not fix the problem. Went to a store to look over a new one and saw that the screw under the head at the hinge point on the new machines was not screwed in tight. Turns out that screw is the "bumper" for the head against the neck, so the head is held back by the screw. FIXED
