I am having a problem with my mixer. The nut will not stay tight where the beater goes in. When you turn on the mixer it won't rotate. I think I might need new gears. I bought this mixer in 1982. Can you help me find parts for it?
Hi,I have a Kenwood A701A with two problems. First, the spindle on the base of the blender unit is broken and I need a new one, and second, the mixer arm(?) has no torque or strength in it so that it only goes around if there is no resistance. Are there gears or a belt broken? Can I fix it/get it fixed? I live in Dublin, Ireland.Thank you,Alan.

From a post on a YouTube video demonstrating a McGyver-type fix to a damaged beater ring (the plastic piece which holds a beater in place) apparently KitchenAid has discontinued the availability of the beather ring.
This is the link to the YouTube video with the McGyver-type repair demonstrated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmS4FbROS50 The comment about the discontinued beater ring is from Dan Peters.
If you decide not to try the McGyver-type repair and choose to purchase a new hand mixer, you may wish to put the old mixer up for sale, to be used for repair parts (since it still has 1 good beater ring.) Or, you can send the old mixer to electronics recycling.
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
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!
Hi. I've checked the Kenwood Service website and from what it looks like, A720 mincer is only suitable for A701, A701A, A702, and for Major models A707, A707A, A717.
The mincer specified for the KM800 (from it's owners manual) is the
A950.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Try turning the beater in the reverse direction to the direction it normally turns - clockwise looking at the beater (I think), this should make the shaft pins ride up on some cams which should release the beater.
