Yes and isn't that the dumbest design for something like that. 3 screws when older models had 4 and no locating pegs where older models had 2. Great progress Kitchen Aid.

Buy a new one quick. Or hide. Spent . electrical engineering. And supply of new diodes resistors and capacitors are needed.

Kitchenaid does not make a 4 or 5 quart bowl that would fit your 6 quart mixer, but other 3rd party companies do!
You may be in luck.
I haven't seen this bowl in person, but it apparently will fit your 6qt mixer. Here is a link to a page selling the mentioned attachment. It comes in a set, with appropriate wire-whip attachments:

The grease is food grade grease and Kitchen Aid supply it as a spare part so depending on where you live either from themselves or an Authorised Service Agent. If you are in New Zealand then I can supply.

This is the Professional 6 quart model and parts are available for it.
I can send you a PDF file of the service manual if you will contact me at [email protected].

When your mixer is not starting , you could have a motor that has overheated as the mixer motor is thermally protected. An electrical problems such as a reset GFCI outlet or electrical breaker may also be causing the problem.
The manual recommends turning off the mixer and also waiting for about 10 or 15 seconds, and turning it back on. If the mixer still will not run, wait for 30 minutes before trying again. The unit does not have a reset button, so if it still doesn't operate after a 30-minute wait, you'll have to look elsewhere for the problem.

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

Aren't you supposed to oil or flour it to stop that from hapenning? Just what I've seen my mom do. You are the cook.

good day,
