What you need is a service manual which is difficult to get for any Chef regardless of the KM300. Ive got a KM310 model but the user manual is similar to this if it helps:

SOURCE: KitchenAid 600, Stand Mixer -

Hi. Stop using your mixer. If your mixer is still covered by warranty, call Kitchenaid Customer Service, they are very good with warranty repairs.

If your mixer is out of warranty, remove the silver band that surrounds the top of mixer. Remove the top cover. At the front of the mixer, locate the transmission housing which is now exposed. Examine this housing carefully for cracks. If you find cracks anywhere in this housing, you have found the under-engineered plastic transmission housing. Kitchenaid's replacement housing is made of metal. Your plastic housing has no business being in a mixer that is marketed as being able to mix bread dough. It cannot!

If you're confident that you can make the repairs yourself, go to the Kitchenaid website and download the parts drawings. Remove the Trans. housing, remove the worm gear shaft assembly which is driven by the motor.. Remove and save as much grease as necessary to thoroughly inspect the worm gear. Inspect the worm shaft bearings. Look for cracks, or missing pieces on the bearings. Look for crunched cogs on all gears. Be prepared to wait at least a month for your parts to arrive after you order them. The replacement grease should be Shell Darina 2, or Chevron FM ALC EP 2.

If you're not confident about repairing this yourself, call Kitchenaid and determine the nearest "approved" repair shop.

You may be able to pressure Kitchenaid to pay for the damaged parts in your mixer. They are still installing these plastic Trans. housing on new mixers. Insist on a metal cover when replacing. Apparently, Kitchenaid feels no shame in their manufacturing process, and will not issue a recall notice for these housings. They are substandard at best.

If you found this solution helpful, please rate it. Good luck! ricardok45.

SOURCE: I was making bred dough with the mixer and when

You have broken the intermediate gear in the head. This gear can be a bit of a problem to change. Here is the parts manual for the KSM150PS.
The part is probably #6, worm gear.
Check with Kitchenaid on where to buy parts.

Can't remove steel bowl from Kenwood KMIX stand mixer.

I am having this problem - I know it's a twist and twist off thing of course as I've used it many times. But now twisting it off is not working and I need to wash it!!! Can't believe this of all things has gone wrong, never mind anything electronic!

Cant releace the dough hook from my kenwood chef. what can i do?

hi the lock nut on the shaft may have been loose allowing the shaft to screw into the dough hook you hve to unscrew the hook out of the shaft then unwind the nut down so you can release the shaft. other problems can occur if the retaining clip has unseated and jammed itself into the planet hub. this is more difficult and a kenwood agent would be consulted see www.kenwood.co.uk for nearest agent.

Does anyone know the model number of a stainless steel bowl to fit the Kenwood Chef KM300/

The model number doesn't really exist other than the fact that the stainless steel bowl is available for just about every Chef made. My own KM300 has a stainless steel bowl for example that came as standard - it however is the same bowl you can order from Kenwood or EBay under the A701/A901 model - all bowls from Kenwood can be fitted on the Chef model with the exception of the Major model which is a larger and taller machine.

Dough hook stuck in machine

Hi. Is it possible that some of the dough or flour you are mixing has made it's way into the attachment point with each batch, and therefore gumming it up progressivley ? Carefully lay the mixer on one side, being carefull not to lay it on the side mixer controls. Use a rolled up towel to support the head, this will make it easeir to see the attachment point. If there's a buildup of flour, wet it with warm water and a little liquid soap, until it softens, remove the attachment and clean the areas of contact. Apply a bit food oil to the hook before using next time.

Re: your second mixer The head locking pin may also have flour in it. This would inhibit the movement of the locking mechanism along it's guides. You may have to do some disassembly to get it cleaned out. After cleaning put a drop of regular oil on the moving parts. Be sure to clean the recess that the pin fits into as well.

If that's not your problem, then the pin may be worn enough to not fully engage.

If I have assisted you, please rate my solution. Good luck! ricardok45
