My first guess would be the speed control plate. It has three screws in an upside down triangular shape. The two screws on top control and adjust speeds 1 thru 6, and often times just one screw being out a 16th of a turn will shut the mixer off completely. I would venture that when you were removing the two stud bolts you moved the adjustment screws on the speed control plate. Remember that even a slight movement can shut down your mixer, take a phillips screwdriver and turn the top left screw one quarter turn while the machine is on, it can start on you so don't be shocked and jump with a loaded screwdriver in your hand at the back of an electrical device, stay calm, if no start then try the left screw a quarter turn, if it does not start go to a half turn on each screw, if still no start turn thr screws back to the start place and try the bottom screw a quarter turn left and right, if you do not start by now, then something is wrong in another place, go back to the brushes and take them out and check how you put them in, these are the two most common problems with a no start mixer. If this does not fix your problem or get the mixer to start please come back here with more info. If you motor raced in the first place then I would suspect the phase control board, but when it came back to normal speed it leades me away from the phase board. When the phse control board goes out the mixer only works at high speed. So please let us know so that we can help further.
I think that the mechanical speed control is stuck. Unless you are not afraid to take the mixer apart, you will need to take it toa shop or return it to the store for another one.
There could be several problems some painful some not so much, the simplest one is bad wall plug or bad plug wire, the hardest is that the motor burned out, but i don't think so. The most likely solution is the speed control switch. There are three scres on the switch in an inverted triangle shape/form. The one on the bottom has probable been turned just enough to stop your mixer from working. The speed control switch that you use pushes against the screw every time you turn your mixer on eventually it can turn by pressure and it will shut your mixer off with just a 1/16th inch turn. It is a very simple fix. Where is the speed control switch? Glad you asked. It is in the rear of the machine. There is a round bubble shaped cover at the rear of the mixer called the end cover, it has one screw (Phillips head) on the top. Take that screw out, then grasp the cover and lift up and away from the mixer. Be careful there are two fragile hooks on the cover that can break if you twist it left or right, just lift up and pull away. when you have removed the cover you will see a black and copper plate staring back at you (it might be all dusty with flower and food particles) look for the adjusting screws at the top left and right corners and one at the bottom center of the plate. The one at the bottom center is the culprit. Take a Phillips head screwdriver and turn it left an eighth of a turn and turn the machine on, if it doesn't work leave the machine on and turn the screw in the opposite direction . ill bet a steak that the mixer starts. if it does you need to replace the speed control plate or take the screw out and put some lock tight on it. BUT!!!! when you do this you will have to completely re-tune the speed of the machine. So if it starts just leave it and you may have to do this once or twice again in the next ten or twelve years. Let us know if this fixed the problem. there are several other possible causes that could make the mixer stop but they are more painful.
The K5SS is very similar to the 5-QT Artisan KSM150. You need to adjust the mixer speeds. Obtain a copy of the K5SS Repair Part List from Kitchenaid.com. Remove the screw holding the End Cover and locate the three screws from the Control Plate. All three (2 top left and right, and 1 bottom) must all be adjusted. 1. Loosen the lock nuts enough & Turn the 2 top screws clockwise until they cannot be turned anymore. Leave the bottom screw alone for now. 2. Use a dab of white paint or paper whiteout to mark the positions of the Phillips screws. 3. Plug in your mixer and Set the speed selector to "Stir". 4. Turn each top screw One full turn couterclockwise (alternating between Left and Right) Keep making one full turn at the time (for both left and right) until the motor starts running. 5. Put your hand near the Agitator shaft and allow it to brush your finger slightly. Use your watch or clock and start counting the number of times the shaft touches your finger in 60 seconds. The correct count should be 60 RPM (Rounds Per Minute). If it is less or more than 60, give each screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise or clockwise and start counting again. Now tighten both lock nuts. 6. Set the speed selector to "6" and turn the bottom screw either clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve a speed of 180 RPM.
For your reference, the planetary RPM's for the 5-qt. tilt-head Artisan Stand Mixer are as follows: Stir speed - 60 Speed 2 - 95 Speed 4 - 135 Speed 6 - 180 Speed 8 - 225 Speed 10 - 280
check keys on all shafts and bottom planitary nuts tight Hobart keeps there service manuals to themselves. also you need to know the version you have. they have been out over 45 years and many changes
CE is the marking that shows its european conformant. I think the difference is mostly in terms of the no volt interlock switch. This means the KA style N50 bowl won't work with the CE models - too low.
