Can I get a slicer shredder attachment for my Kenwood Mixer KMX50?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category.

The OP, George supplies the answer.

Update solved: problem was the tiny speed control sensor mounted above on the motor with three cables.

You need to access the accessory attachment point, it's behind the silver KitchenAid logo on the front of the mixer. You'll need to unscrew a set screw (black knob at the very front of the mixer head), newer mixers have a hinged cover, on older mixers, it just pulls out. Unscrew the set screw a bit and fold up or remove the cover.



Now you will see a hole with a hollow square shaft inside, this is where the various optional items attach to the mixer.



Specifically for the shredder, you will need to attach a slicing drum to the drive shaft provided with the shredder, insert it through the drum, and raise the little bar in the rear of the slicer assembly.



Insert the whole assembly into the front of the mixer so that the square drive shaft shaft fits into the square hollow in the mixer, then lower the little bar to lock into place.

I do, because if you don't, it can rust into place and become very difficult to remove from the attachments. (I'm guessing you mean from the slicer attachment, not the mixer itself, of course it should be removed from the mixer after use)

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.

A clicking noise is not indicative of a major motor issue with a Kitchenaid stand mixer. If the noise worsens or is accompanied with other symptoms, or if you are incredibly concerned with the development of clicking, I would suggest contacting Kitchenaid Customer Service.

Their toll-free telephone number is 1-800-541-6390.

Your attachment speed will depend on what it is you're slicing or shredding. Begin at speed setting two and work up to the speed where the motor begins to labour, then reduce the speed by one notch. Always start too slow, then move up. If you find this solution usefull, please rate it. Good luck. ricardok45
