Kenwood prospero wont start
Hi on my new Kenwood Prospero+ model khc29h0wh (but applies to all) I had same problem: dough mixer and high speed mixer working, but "medium speed" food processor and Juicer not working.
After lots of time I realised... the lid of the Juicer/Processor actually locks in three different positions, but only one of these (with the handle corresponding to a mark) actually locks lowering a white plastic security prong that activates the switch. It is the position in which the lid and container prongs coincide.
Dough hook does not come out
At the point of attachment where the hook is attached to the beater shaft, spray hot soapy water from a window spray bottle on the connection. Very hot water is necessary and eventually the water will seep into the locking space and allow you to twist it off. Repeat several times if it fails the first time around.
Broken wire - Kenwood A701A
black wire indicates negative so if you can see a place on the circuit board that looks like that's were it came from then get some advice from an electronics person before you put it together.
Dough hook
Hi, the new style tools do not fit old style mixers, yours probably had the small circlip on the shaft, the new ones dont have this, and it's this what held your tool in place

I have a kenwood KMx 50 mixer & it has a speed
KMX50 would start and accelerate to high speed, then slow down some with fairly erratic speed. I tried changing the triac on the main speed control board, then also the whole board (£45). It made no difference.
The only other component I realised it might be was the speed control board which is on the rear end of the motor under the main cover (I found this component on a site selling Kenwood parts, and was where I got the main board from, which is how I know it's speed control). When I inspected it I found two of the terminals broken. You had to look very closely to see they were broken. It's a poor design as the three legs of the terminals are quite long, and very thin, so on high speed when kneading there is much vibration, which is why I suspect the terminals broke. I cut them back just enough to resolder. The component isn't quite fully inside the sensor wheel on the motor shaft, but it still picks up sufficient signal to control the speed and now works fine. Haven't tried it under load yet, but no reason to think it won't work correctly. So check this before ordering a £45 board!
How do you attach bowls to mixer
The bowl sits on a round plate. If the bowl cannot sit properly, moce the round base a notch on the right to give more bowl space.
Gearbox oil
I don't know how much gear oil nor what type of gear oil. But most likely anywhere you can get a-hold of gear oil... use what you can get. I would try restaurant supplies. In my city there is a place called Case & Drum that sells anything from the petroleum industry.
Overload motor
follow the book. You may otherwise overload and burn motor.
Kenwood km020 variable speed on full all the time.
Had the same problem. The module registering the speed setting was broken. Easiest way to fix it is to order part nr KW710359. You can find various shops selling it on google. Bought mine for 35EUR.

Service advise for kenwood a700d
The planetary gear housing is filled with grease. Seeing oil come out would indicate that grease has started to or has completely broken down. Take the planetary apart (One nut and a clip), clean out the old grease and liberally repack with a food grade grease something like PTFE Super Lube .
