We just bought the kpex pasta attachments and the hub rotation is now hesitating on the kitchen aid itself. At first I thought it was just the roller attachment but it's the machine itself.

If you happen to have a friendly toolmaker with a small metal lathe it should not be too difficult to modify KITCHEN AID accessories that fit on to the front powwer outlet. However Puck Stand Mixer accessories are occasionaly offered on the Web. Meat grinders are very common and original Puck pasta maker have also been seen. Get searchin'!

It sounds likme you may have stripped/broken one of the gears up in the mixer head. Any competent appliance repair shop should be able to fix it.

Hi BEV, By the symptoms you are describing, it appears that your planetary/agitator shaft (where you attach the beaters) assembly is dropping from the mixer head, is that correct? When you replace the planetary and lift your bowl up into a ‘locked’ position, the planetary is being held in place by the beater resting on the bottom of your mixing bowl and ‘works’ for the time being. However, you don’t want operate your mixer that way for very long.
I suspect what caused the planetary/agitator shaft to drop from the mixer head is that one of the pins used to secure the planetary/agitator shaft assembly to the mixer head has failed (sheared) so now there is nothing holding the planetary/agitator to the mixer head. The good news is that this is fixable.
The inspection and troubleshooting of your mixer’s transmission is a DITY capability, particularly if your mixer is out of warranty. Just be sure to have the correct Part List manual around when you start to disassemble your mixer. If you are lacking one, you can download it from the KA website (http://www.kitchenaid.com/flash.cmd?/#/page/home).
Click on Customer Care>Locate Manuals& Guides> and enter the 6 character model number, in your case KSM50PS. Unfortunately, entering your exact model number yields many Owners manual and no Parts Manuals, so I would use the following, KSM500, and select the last file under Parts List (16) KSM500WH0.pdf (857.41 KB). Verify your mixer matches the mixer in the illustrations. Turn to pages 4 & 5, titled ‘Case, Gearing & Planetary Unit, for the disassembly, troubleshooting, and reassembly of your mixer, along with a listing of all the parts. Make sure you inspect
Locate Illust. No. 14, Groove Pin, Part # 9795443. This pin retains the planetary/agitator shaft to the mixer head, and I suspect this is the pin that has failed and needs to be replaced. Getting to it will require the disassembly of the whole transmission. This will be messy as you will need to remove all the grease from the gears and center shaft.
While your mixer’s apart you should check for any other unseemly wear and tear on the gears, etc. You may find more things that need replacement than just the groove pin.
Besides needing a replacement pin and grease, you might consider replacing the gasket, too. I recommend using a food-grade grease that you can order online (although I’ve seen automotive bearing grease used too – your call).
Here are five potential vendors in no particular order: RepairClinic.com; mendingshed.com; searspartsdirect.com; partstore.com; and Grainger.com. You should search for ‘food grade grease’. Prices can vary widely between vendors, so do your comparison shopping.
It can be messy but quite gratifying to diagnose and repair your mixer yourself.
Here’s a link to an excellent site for disassembling/fixing your KA Mixer. Although it’s a different model, the principles are the same: http://www.neilcrockett.com/mixer.htm and another link to a site that details the disassembly and replacement of mixer’s grease, which might be helpful, too. http://www.foodonthefood.com/food_on_the_food/2009/04/how-to-repair-a-kitchenaid-mixer-yourself.htmltl
If you feel troubleshooting and repairing is beyond your capability, then I would seek out a local small appliance repair shop in your area. KA Customer Care can give you names of local KA authorized repair shops in your area, but you can also do an online search to supplement what KA may provide you. Call to explain your circumstances and find out their hourly rate and get an estimate of what they think it would cost to repair your mixer. Also, always obtain three or more estimates – do some comparison shopping.
Good luck and have fun. I hope this helps. Howard, Burke, VA

Hello gsd575,

I am afraid they do not sell parts for these parts. You will have to remove the bolt and go to a local hardware store and see if you can match it with a hex bolt that they stock. Most hex bolts are stock and not special in anyway.

Thank you for choosing FixYa.com

SOURCE: Kitchen-aid stand mixer model ksm90ww has oil that

Bob is correct with a lot of what he says ...but...the silver thing is actually called the vanity ring and it has two purposes. The first is to cover the 5 screws that hold the motor and gear box connected to the base. He is absolutely correct in advising to re-tighten the five screws that will be exposed when you remove the vanity ring. the reason is that any gasket will compress after time passes. The case is the same here. By tightening the screws you will bring the two frame parts together again and create a tighter seal again. He is also correct that you will get another couple of years use from the mixer before you see oil drips again...if ...you only use your mixer sporadically, if you are a heavy duty user them you need to repack the gear case / motor enclosure with a new food grade grease and a NEW gasket. Both are inexpensive and the re-pack will extend the life of your mixer indefinitely. I have recently serviced a 1956 machine and the only thing it needed was a gasket and new grease. The second reason that the ring is there is as Bob stated to catch grease drips, as the grease ages it separates, liquids from solids, the liquid vegetable based oil begins to run out because the gasket is now compressed, so...do as Bob suggests and remove the Vanity Ring with a very light touch, a screwdriver and a nonmetal hammer. DO NOT hit the top edge of the silver ring hard as it is only attached by pressure. and if you hit it hard it will go wacky by getting out of round and will not stay up anymore. So remember very light taps on the edge. When replacing you can give it a good rap with a non metallic hammer as long as you are hitting the ring straight down (Turn the Mixer upside down to do this, on a towel or you will scratch the finish) If you hit the silver ring sideways you can knock it out of whack also and it will not stay up. The whole process takes about 10 minutes to re-tighten the screws and about 2 hours to clean and re-pack. Oh!! it will also take about 2 rolls of paper towels to repack. Hope this helped, Bob above actually answered the question perfectly, I just added some clarifications.
