Only a bit of CRC and some brute force is going to work. Unplug the machine. Remove the bowl, lock the head down, squirt some CRC around the top of the paddle where the shaft goes in. Get someone to hold the mixer from moving about then grip the paddle firmly with 2 hands and turn it left and right. Gradually you will begin to get increasing movement until in the end you will be able to unlock it from the shaft. Once it is off you will need to thoroughly clean the shaft then you will need to scrape out the inside of the hole in the paddle. I carefully use a small round file, I am trying to clean the hole out, not increase the size of it beyond what originally was. The hole size has become smaller over time because of flour or similar entering around the shaft during use.

Put water in Kenwood and a bowl inside the Kenwood to hold eggs. Eggs need to be done SLOWLY. Can also add a LITTLE water to aggs as they cook to slow down curdling . Basically you need to turn Kenwood into a double boiler. Lift bowl with eggs in and out of Kenwood to control temperature and whisk away now under control. Lift bowl and cool and slow down cooking and lower back in water and Kenwood to hear back up. Keep whisking and lift and lower bowl as needed. Some melted butter doesn't hurt either!

Same...do you mean that you want to replace the cord, or past that and inside the actual component? And both will require actually opening it up.

Sounds to be dirty. There is a thing called tuner cleaner you can use to clean it. You will need to remove the control knob and try spraying into the control,but you may have to get inside to clean it up good by breaking down the unit.

Look in the oven, the cake may be burning. If the smell is from the mixer it could be a capacitor burning out, it could be a fault on the PCB, it could be a poor connection in the wiring, it could be a faulty armature, it could be faulty field windings, it could be a bush or bearing nipping up. If it's not amongst that list try getting back with more information.

Contact Kenwood on the internet for parts.

Required kenwood major A9070 service manual required. Please confirm whether it is available or not. thanks all.

Try posting your question in the correct forum. You won't find many answers about your mixer in the refrigerator forum.

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.

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.

If by catchpin you mean the pin that locks down the head assembly then they are obsolete. Get it welded or braized up and carefully file it back to shape. If you only get it repaired where it is worn then you can follow the shape of the unworn part. When they are really bad sometimes the curved bracket it passes through needs welding as well.

follow the book. You may otherwise overload and burn motor.

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.

Check your brushes on the motor, if they are good then its the windings that are burning out.

Mezo.

Hi I'd really appreciate a service manual please?!

Hi Mikey. No, I don't have the manual but email me at [email protected] if you have any specific questions. I repair quiet a few of these.

The switch on the titanium has a flimsy week point and is always breaking. This is a stupid economy by Kenwood when there is now so much good competition. Mine broke after only 6 months and Kenwood were less than helpful suggesting I took back to where I bought it - 500 miles away!! I wish I had bought a Kitchen Aid

Hi, you need to put a large screwdriver into the front port, then undo the clutch dog

Late but I had the same problem and fixed it on me tod so maybe it will help someone else. There are two stages of closing, it will shut at around 6 o clock but it's locked when it's around 8 o clock (it should click into this same position when fully open) I fixed mine by pushing it down harder than I was doing. If it won't lock after this then a spring is borked.
