Can't remove beater kmix from machine. it's stuck!kenwood

the head gears are not engaging properly
could be the selector knob or stripped gears
get a quote from an appliance repair shop but if the mixer has a few years on ti then it will probably turn out cheaper to get a new one

Kenwood KMX50 series Instructions Manual

The owner's manual is here: http://www.kenwoodworld.com/Global/Instruction-Manuals/kMix-by-Kenwood/kMix-Kitchen-Machines/KMX80/18499%20KMX50%20A5%20multi.pdf I could not find a service manual.

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.

yes the dough hook is a firm fit on those

Hi, it sounds like a broken gear.

Send me your email

I have read on other posts that it is the nut at the top of the beater that is causing the problem. You need to rotate it downwards toward the beater in order to have sufficient room to push and rotate the beater out. This didn't work for me, nor did attempting to remove the whole plate by undoing the lug beside the beater insert. Now that I have worn the lug and the nut I cannot get it repaired at a Kenwood service specialist as I have attempted the repair myself.
My advice is to go straight to a professional. Whatever they charge it will be cheaper than being stuck with a machine you can only use some of the time and have to replace!

I couldn't remove the K-Beater as when I tried to turn it the whole mechanism turned with it. I couldn't even remove the splashguard! I was going to take it to the Kenwood factory (a few miles from home) but then I thought I'd give it one more go and this is what I did...

1. Next to where the K-Beater attaches in the middle of the circular plate is a lug with a pointed-shape bolt on the end. Remove this with a spanner and the beater plus gear cog can be removed.
   
2. Place some mole grips or wide pliers on a worktop and sit the cogged gear in to it and grip so that it won't turn.
3. Now you should be able to remove the K-Beater!

Perhaps someone can suggest how to stop it happening again. I haven't attached anything since but will update this post if I have any other helpful tips.
