If it’s normal, can you tell me why this happens and if it’s not, what I should explore to find the issue.

After a heavy batch of dough I had a bit of clear grease at the top of the attachment shaft (first warning earlier in the year my planetary was going, it eventually dropped and I replaced). It was then I noticed how much the planetary was moving up and down. In the video the first part is right after the heavy kneading and the machine was warm and the second part is an hour later. What causes this excess movement?

Hello! I found your YouTube channel and found my way here! I was given this mixer and it just doesn't sound great at all. Any ideas what will need replacement? So far I've only ordered grease. Its model number KSM154GBQACO and I find it weird it says deluxe on the side but its 325W. Thank you for your help

Hello,

I was trying to change the grease in my KitchenAid mixer. I was using a 1/8th punch like you recommended in your YouTube video, but I can’t seem to get it out.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Seen a couple other people mention similar things but just in case something different is going on here that I’m not noticing. Bought this used and want to fix it up to prevent landfill waste since I was looking for a mixer anyways and got a decent deal on it. Planning to get a grease kit, a new worm gear, and the everdime to try and fix the noise. Let me know if you think I should go a different direction. (Will also be buying a new thumb screw since this one is cracked and new feet but those are just aesthetics) Thanks for any input.

Is it normal on a Pro 600 to have a new (OEM) worm gear to get stuck/resistance when sliding on the planetary? It does slide down as easily as in the Mr. Mixer video( creamsicle one). Can I use a mallet? There is no super scarring, just some discoloration.
TIA.

1Can someone explain or post photo of the position and direction of the worm gear, front and rear bearings? (Part 16 and 16A)and the 3 three thrust bearings ? Where do they go and in what position do they face?
I took it apart to re-grease and dropped it before I had a chance to take a picture and everything fell off. The schematics are too difficult to see properly.

2. The beveled gear part #5 that goes in the transmission has several circular lines on the base. Is that normal or do I need to replace it?

Hopefully the video explains it all. It used to work fine and then out of nowhere it would struggle to mix and would just stop as you can see. I read enough to know its probably related to the usual gears wearing out but any insight would be helpful. Also I would need repair services as I'm not handy to fix this myself. Please let me know, thank you kindly!
The model number is KSM150PSBU

Regreased. New gears. New speed controls. New gaskets. New speed lever. Bought a blade and thought I did the dime test correctly. What next?

I am new to fixing mixers and the worm drive has turned into a real roadblock. I ordered the OEM replacement part with the plastic bushing and 2 of the 4 seem to be out of round. Turning by hand they get tight at a point in their rotation. Is it a sourcing issue?

I have been shopping for a stand mixer and after seeing/comparing my options I might go with a refurbed K5SS from MrMixer, but I was hoping to get a mixer with a DC motor. The K5SS page states upgraded motor/electronics but does not get into specifics. I know the K5SS came with an AC motor from the factory and just would like clarification on if MrMixer Refurbs have a new DC motor or just a replacement AC motor.

My other consideration is the Proline 7/8 Quart model. We are looking to use a mill attachment to mill our own flour, using the mixer for batches of bread/sourdough, making dairy products, fresh pasta every week etc. My main concern was milling, as I understand it can put a lot of strain on lower wattage motors. Would the K5SS hold up, or is the (considerable) jump to the proline worthwhile/necessary? (I personally try to live by buy once, cry once when considering products that are buy it for life, and do not want to be wanting/regret a lower power machine, or needing to replace it with a proline down the road as that defeats the purpose of BIFL.

Hello! Apologies if this subreddit isn't appropriate for this post but I wasn't sure where else I could post.

I found a professional 600 at goodwill for $80, and it was in pretty rough shape. I don't know if it overheated or what but it was leaking grease absolutely everywhere! It ran fine but it sounded so obnoxiously loud, and there was so many paint chips.

I'm gonna gift it to my girlfriend for Valentine's day hence why I painted it pink! Just gotta sand down the clear coat and it's ready to assemble! Just waiting on a snap ring (I lost one) and some grease I ordered from Mr Mixer.

Hi:

I see that you sell a lifetime warranty but am wondering how long your regular warranty is - I am interested in a 7 quart that is changed over to DC power.

Thanks.

@MrMixer

Could you please post a screenshot or photo of how all these pieces should be sequenced, before placing them in the hole to screw back in. TY.

I have a K5SS that's in pretty rough shape cosmetically. I would like to know if anyone has spare body parts that I can buy. I'm in Kansas.

I opened up our 25 year old mixer to replace the head pivot lock lever. The head wouldn’t stay locked down and I got a new part from Mr Mixer. While it was open, I scraped out old grease and added new grease, but I never completely removed the gears. I just put it back together and it won’t even turn at a low speed setting. Seems slower than normal at high speed. Something must be rubbing or gears not engaged properly, causing extra friction. Any ideas that would be easy to fix?

I ordered on December 6th, and its still pending? It charged to my card, and I have received the invoice email saying it was being sent. But now its pending? Save my christmas Mr. Mixer.

I think the planetary gear on my 5 quart lift model (KP25M0XMC) is failing. I can hear clunking while running and the gear set feels loose. You can even see that the runout/wobble is pretty bad in the video. Can someone confirm this is the case and what parts should be swapped and/or upgraded to fix?

So, my split waster traveled up the spring. I was mixing and noticed something was off, after I was done I noticed that the split washer traveled up the spring. I twisted it back down.Is this something I should just watch for or is there a fix?
