What is the difference between the Kitchen Aid "KSM150PSMC" and the KSM150 ?? thanks

There is sod all difference except it comes with a glass bowl where the KSM150 is stainless steel bowl.. Motor is the same so not more powerful.

Garrett, there are not any replaceable fuses in the KSM150 models. What is the issue you are having with the mixer and we can help you find the right parts.

Also here is a link to the service manual that will help you with trouble shooting and finding correct parts for your mixer.

If it is leaking you are going to have to go inside the gearbox to change the grease so whatever is wrong inside may become obvious when you take it apart. Remove accessory cap from the front and look for any dryish grindings inside there.

When you have the head lifted up the screw you can see in there from the front in the middle by the hinge is the head height adjuster. You need to set the height correctly now so that FLAT PADDLE just clears the bowl. Unscrew it anti clockwise to raise the head. Once that is done turn the machine upside down on a towel and check that the locking screw on the hinge pin is tight, it\'s right up inside the pedestal.

Kitchen Aid does have different bowls for several different models. You can also contact Kitchen Aid direct to get information about your model. Here is a link with information about your model mixer.

The screw under the head is for adjusting the head height for when the standard paddle and bowl are being used. First tip the whole machine upside down and tighten the hinge pin screw right up inside the pedestal post. Next reset the head height with flat paddle. Screw in is head down, screw out is head up. You want the paddle to just stop tinging the bowl on high speed.

The KSM5 and the KSM150 are different mixers. They are both 5 quart mixers and use the same gearing and motor. However the bowl design is different. The KSM5 is a 5 quart bowl lift, which means the bowl locks into the arms of the mixer and raises towards the head of the mixer, where the ksm150 mixer is a artisan mixer, which is also a 5quart mixer, but the head of the mixer tilts back and the bowl twists into the base ring to lock into place. These two mixers will take different bowls and beaters.

I'd be looking at making sure the beater is not banging on the bowl and that the head hinge isn't loose. The bowl is secure on the base with this system that has been in use for decades so you are looking for a fault not a re-design of the system. The friction of the mix in the bowl should logically tend to tighten the bowl, not undo it. I have seen a malformed bowl once where the lugs weren't big enough and I suspect that it's possible for there to have been the odd malformed bottom plate with not big enough lugs.

If the base is not holding the bowl properly then only a replacement base plate or another bowl is going to fix it. The base plate is held onto the pedestal with 3 Philips head screws.
