Do you have an instruction manual for your K5SS Kitchenaid mixer?

See the Service Manual: http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/mendingshed/kitchenaid6qtservicemanual.pdf I strongly suspect that this is a gear problem.

Given the age of a 3-C stand mixer, finding additional parts for it will be exceedingly difficult. The best recommendation is through E-Bay or antiques stores - a specialty dealer. Kitchenaid parts distributors will no longer have anything in inventory for the 3-C mixer.

That looks like a blender model number, not a mixer. The Kitchen Aid web site does not recognise it. Maybe a photo of the appliance and state what part you want for it may help.

I'm baffled. However, the Service Manual can be found at: http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/mendingshed/kitchenaid6qtservicemanual.pdf

There are a few things that may cause this. In no particular order they are: 1. No power at electric outlet. 2. Brush(es) worn out. 3. Switch on control board not making contact or speed link broken. 4. Mixer's power cord faulty. 5. Connection to control board not making contact. 6. Field coil or armature faulty. 7. Highly unlikely -- contact to a brush sleeve has slipped out.

When using the dough hook the speed should be no higher than 2. That said, there is a limit as to how thick a dough the Artisan mixer can handle and you may well have reached that. Under these circumstances it is normal for the motor to slow down. If the stress becomes too great, the worm (follower) gear will fail protecting the motor from burning out.

You didn't say which model KitchenAid mixer you have. Assuming that it is a tilt-head, and that the metal portion of the motor housing joining it to the base did not break, the Service Manual can be had at: http://www.kitchenaidparts.eu/documents/pdf/service-manual/classic-svc-manual-new-email-version.pdf

You have not supplied the model number, that is the part number for the silver trim band that goes around the motor housing. Also as well as the model number a rough idea of how old your mixer is may be relevant.

The manual instructions will tell you all. Read it.

Sounds like the governor has flown apart, you will need to take that black plate off the back, all the wires off it (take a photo first if you think you will need it) a spring at the bottom and 2 screws at the top. Once you get that off the broken governor will be exposed and you can lever it off with a couple of screwdrivers, don't lose the locating pin through the motor shaft. Part required is 17830 Governor Assembly Line up the notch in it with the pin you have in the motor shaft and bang it on with a soft hammer so that the notch engages the pin. When fitting the back plate back on first engage the speed control lever into where it belongs to operate the switch then put each screw in 8 full turns to start off. I put each one in a couple of turns then the other one until each is 8 turns in. Put the spring back on, put the wires where they belong and fire it up on low speed. Move it up to high then back to speed 1. You want the planetary to turn 13 to 15 revolutions in 15 seconds. I let the planetary knob brush my hand as it rotates while watching the second hand on the clock. Turn the screws in to slow it down and out to speed it up, you should move each screw equally. Once slow speed is set lock up the nuts that stop those 2 screws from turning. Job done!

I answered this for you in the blender dept, it will almost certainly be the fuse gear and that's machine cases apart to look in the gearbox. Fuse gear part number is 4162897 Worm Gear If you want to make the repair a little faster then the fuse gear already mounted in the bracket is another option 240309?2 Worm Gear Bracket And Gear I call it a fuse gear, they call it a worm gear.

That is not safe replace the cord.

Replace it.

Probably a model number and a better fault description would help. Does it turn off like a switch or stutter & run down. What's required to make it start up again?

Using a multi meter follow the power, where it stops will be the problem.

Your question is a bit obscure?? On reflection it's not really a question.

The solution will probably be under the back cover. Are the switch contacts touching at speed 1? Are all the wires secure on the black control plate? Has anyone been fiddling about with the speed control adjustments? Possibly the small 4 wire PCB above the black control plate is unwell although normally it would give completely dead or every speed high speed.

Check the carbon brushes, they could be worn out. Apart from that you will be pulling it apart to find the burning, that's where the fault will be.
