KitchenAid KP2671 Professional 6 Series Stand Mixer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I have had the same problem to remove the motor you need to remove the two screws at the back of the motor next the two screws holding on the circuit board (so you can get at the screws around the gearbox ) next remove the cover on the gearbox by removing the four screws and lift off after you have done this you can lift the motor out but remember you still have the wires connected but you can get at the screws to tighten the head down try using lock-tight on the screws 

I don't know which type of KitchenAid mixer you have, so here are the links for the Service Manual for the two types: Professional 5/6 quart: http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/mendingshed/kitchenaid6qtservicemanual.pdf 4.5/5 quart: http://www.kitchenaidparts.eu/documents/pdf/service-manual/classic-svc-manual-new-email-version.pdf

It alll depends upon the type of KitchenAid mixer you have. Below are links to the Service Manuals: http://www.kitchenaidparts.eu/documents/pdf/service-manual/classic-svc-manual-new-email-version.pdf http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/mendingshed/kitchenaid6qtservicemanual.pdf

The part you see is called the planetary, it has two shafts, the long one is called the center shaft and if it is falling off you need a new planetary, the second shaft (shorter) is called the agitator shaft (the beater attaches to it, if this is the culprit then1 you are not attaching the beater correctly2 the locking pin that the beater attaches to to hold it in place is missing3 you have way too much "gunk" build up on the agitator shaft and the beater is not attaching correctly4 if the beater falls into the bowl with the agitator shaft still attached you have three additional problems a) the snap ring a top the agitator shaft has broken off or come off which in turn means that b) the gear at the top of the shaft has come off and may very well been knocked around and possibly damaged beyond future use which means that you will need a new one and also c) the shaft pin that holds the agitator gear in place has come out or been broken alsothe fix is easy and your parts cost $ will be from $30.00 to $80.00 dollars depending on which parts you need. Now before you get palpitations, cost are listed as a possible need1 new planetary $30.00, you may not need2 new agitator shaft and gear assembly $27.00, pretty sure that you need but maybe not3 new gasket $6.004 new gear grease $6.00 KA says 2 oz. (don't buy a 2lb (26.00 bucks) can when you only need 2 oz).Without more clarity or a picture I can't help further. but before you start tearing you machine apart go to the KA website and get a parts list for your mixer http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search.jsp?siteCd=KADlet us know how you fare on this or better yet get us a little more info and we can help more.

There is only one pin on the beater shaft to hold the beater in place.
There is no spring or washer on the shaft.

To Attach Flat Beater,Wire Whip, or Spiral Dough Hook, simply
1. Slip flat beater on beater shaft.

2. Turn beater to right, hooking beater over the pin on shaft.

they should be a tight fit as the clip is just to help retain position if they are ment to be loose replace the clip and inspect the groove for the clip as the edges may be worn to a taper rather than a sharp edge which will allow it to be moved out under load

there could be a thermal over load switch that you may have to press if there isn't,take it in to an appliance repair shop for a look and quote

Without being there and looking at the part I would have no idea what to tell you about repair that would assist you.

You will need to describe in what way it does not work correctly, your question is far too vague to give any meaningful answer.

I haven't seen enough of that model to remember, look up a local service agent and ask them is probably your best option. Whoever does the warranty repairs for Kitchen Aid would be the best person.

That's not the sort of problem you are likely to solve at home. There is a speed control pcb and a speed sensor involved, it's not mechanical like the other old models. Best you contact Kitchen Aid and find out where your closest authorised service agent is.

Hi - I've been searching for general info on KitchenAid stand mixers and ran across this so I'm throwing my $.02 in... Since KA stand mixer bases are essentially made of cast metal parts, there is a very slim chance that there is a lateral misalignment (side-side) unless it got dropped...eek! Sounds like a head height adjustment issue. Check out this from KitchenAid Conversations:

Good luck.

It's most certainly a stripped gear. There are numerous how-to videos regarding Gear replacement.

It could possibly need a new circuit board, new power cord or the motor could be burnt out. These newer style bowl-lift mixers have cheap motors.

http://www.kitchenaid.com/shop/more-ways-to-shop-1/parts-3/102020235/ You will need model number and colour

If you cannot read the model from the band then look for the sticker. Most often it is underneath the base of the stand.

You will need to test for power throughout the circuit to find where it stops, you will need a multi meter. You may be better getting a service agent to look if you are uncomfortable dismantling your machine.

I would expect that to come as part of the shaft so don't expect to buy another one without the shaft. Factory pressed in supposed to never come out.

Yes and just enough to cover the teeth.
