Runs on high a little while and then stops
I need a repair manual for a better homes and garden stand mixer. The wiers camedoff the on off knob.

These bowls can tighten during mixing. One solution is to fill it with ice while trying to unscrew it. Soaking the base with soap is another solution. In the worst case, the bowl and the cap it fits in are replaceable.
I have had to use a homemade strap wrench on others. Be careful not to warp the bowl out of round, or it will be un-usable.

How comfortable are you with electrical parts? With the mixer UNPLUGGED and the switch ON measure resistance between the (flat) plug pins. If it's infinite (no meter movement) which is to be expected, there is an open circuit. The switch could be open or the wire to the switch could be disconnected (improbable) or the motor could be burned out and open (not very probable).
Maybe you could take the switch to a shop and have it tested.
This is not really a solution, just step 1.

Hi, RHASKEY. You don’t say what your model is, which would be
most helpful, so I’m going to assume you’ve got one of the 6 qt Solid State
mixers, models KD2661-3, KT2651-3 or KP2671-3 (an Epicurean or variation) or
one of the 6 Qt. Professional 600 Bowl lift version like a KP26M1X model. Of course I could be way off base, too, so
bear with me. BTW, the Hall Effect “switch” and Hall Effect
“Sensor” are synonymous.
The Hall
Effect sensor detects the rotation of the motor and limits the motors speed
based upon your Selector switch lever setting. We don’t need to go into
electromagnetic theory here, but it’s a pretty simple sensing device so I would
suspect it’s not the cause of your problems.
The Hall Effect Sensor feeds back to the (speed) Control Assembly and from
your description of your mixer’s symptom’s I would say the signal is getting corrupted
within the Control Assembly; hence the intermittent and erratic running.
The Control Assembly is a little PC
board fabricated with numerous electronic parts; the more components the higher
the probability one of them will go bad, for whatever reason. My recommendation would be to replace the Control
Assembly board, but you can always order and replace the Hall Effect Sensor,
too… We’re only talking a couple of dollars difference in parts.
The
inspection and troubleshooting of the inside of your mixer is a DITY capability,
particularly if your mixer is out of warranty.
Just be sure to have the Parts List manual on hand. If you're lacking one, you can download a PDF
version 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 and select one of the files
listed under Parts List (check to
see it this matches your mixer model).
After
you’ve removed the Gearcase Motor Housing (mixer head top half) look where the
Speed Control knob is attached. This
will be the Control assembly. Inspect
all the connections to see if a connection has come loose. Unfortunately the whole controller assembly
is fabricated on a little PC board filled with resistors, capacitors and
diodes, which was not meant to be 'home fixed'. My 'expertise' ends at being able to recognize
a resistor from a capacitor. A local
small appliance repair shop should be able to determine if the controller
assembly is functioning properly or not or you can just order replacement parts
without the testing.
As
far as KA replacement parts go, here are four potential vendors in no
particular order: RepairClinic.com; mendingshed.com; searspartsdirect.com;
partstore.com. Prices for the same part
can vary widely between vendors, so do your comparison shopping.
While
your mixer is apart it would be ideal to check for any other unseemly wear and
tear on the gears, etc. It can be messy
but quite gratifying to diagnose and repair your mixer yourself.
Here
are some links to several excellent websites that detail the disassembling/reassembly
of a KA Mixer.
Between
these three websites and their excellent pictures and descriptions and your
Parts List manual, you should now be able to completely disassemble and
reassemble your mixer.
Good luck and have
fun. I hope this helps. Howard, Burke,

if the mixer is a 3-phase unit, that mixer has no reverse speeds, all gears should turncounter-clockwise when mixer is on ,if a 3-phase unit try switching any 2 of the incomingline to to change direction

A small screwdriver or needle nose pliers will work to remove the cir-clips that hold on the shaft.
