How do I open up my kmix hand mixer - Kenwood Hand Mixer kMix HM791, Red

If you do not know what you are doing it is better to throw it away and get a new one. You could get electrocuted if you try yourself. Probably cost more than a new one to get someone to repair it.

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

Hi Carol , I had the same problem. You should open the main cover, then, remove the 3 screws (see picture), and remove the nickel plated ring, then, take out one screw from the bottom (see picture), then open 4 screws that holds the gear box from the top .

good luck.

Hi, it sounds like a broken gear.

Here's how to fix the stuck implement problem:

The implements each have adjustable heights. to adjust the height you need to loosen the bolt at the top with a 14mm spanner. If the bolt was loose when it was being used then it can get too short and not leave enough clearance between the bolt and the machine in order to push up and turn to release the implement. If this happens take the open ended spanner, grasp the implement and rotate the spanner clockwise (when looking up at the machine from below. Once the nut is loose rotate the implement until there is enough clearance to remove it normally.
