You will need to buy a new governor from Kitchen Aid and possibly the speed control plate at the back. Often when the governor explodes it damages the contacts, they aren't expensive and it's easier than fluffing around trying to straighten it up.

Check for broken wire under back cover. Check operation of switch contacts on black speed control plate. Check carbon brushed under black screw caps on the sides. The brushes are keyed, they only work one way.

firstly u shouldn't have taken the thing apart DDDUUUHHHH

Try harder, there is only one way to get it off and that is to turn the bowl.

The fix for that is a new gear and replacement housing (the whole painted top part) The bush is unfortunately not available as a spare part.

It's pretty impossible to say for sure without having been there to witness it, but it seems possible that it happened. Some mechanical oils and greases are all-natural and wouldn't harm you if you ate a little of them, but that's not something that KitchenAid would ever tell you. As frustrating as it is, I for one would probably choose the safe route and make a new batch.

Check the carbon brushes. Check the operation of the speed control plate at the back. Change the phase board.

Most likely you will need a new fuse gear, it is inside the gearbox.

Get some CRC in there and wriggle it about, once you get it off give the hole a good cleaning out and polish up the shaft.

Your gearbox grease is breaking down, time to repack it with some new stuff.

Get some CRC around it, wriggle and grunt for a while and it will release. Clean the shaft and the beater hole. Flour builds up in there and grabs on tight.

Try a different Receptacle outlet if it trips that breaker you know its the mixer, and there will prob be a short/loose connection somewhere

Probably the field windings a bit loose. You need to be careful with those, don't tighten the nuts up too tight, just enough so they will not come loose is enough.

Tilt it upside down on a towel and tighten the screw right up inside the pedestal that holds the hinge pin.

The problem will be with the worm gear, if the gear is not stripped then check that the locating pin for the worm gear is not broken or missing. Occasionally the plastic gear can detach from the aluminium boss between plastic and shaft. The worm gear is the 99.9% place where drive can slip. Afterthought, I suppose the planetary pin is not missing or broken??

Tip it upside down on a towel and tighten the screw in the middle of the screw hinge pin. Right up through the middle of the pedestal.
