KitchenAid KSM150PS Artisan Series Stand Mixer - Page 5 Questions & Answers
Mixer wont start
Check for broken wire under back cover. Check operation of switch contacts on black speed control plate. Check carbon brushed under black screw caps on the sides. The brushes are keyed, they only work one way.
Bowl stuck in base
Try harder, there is only one way to get it off and that is to turn the bowl.
Mixer leaking oil is it possible some got into my cookie batter
It's pretty impossible to say for sure without having been there to witness it, but it seems possible that it happened. Some mechanical oils and greases are all-natural and wouldn't harm you if you ate a little of them, but that's not something that KitchenAid would ever tell you. As frustrating as it is, I for one would probably choose the safe route and make a new batch.
The whisk is stuck in kmix 50
Get some CRC in there and wriggle it about, once you get it off give the hole a good cleaning out and polish up the shaft.
Removing paddle from 325 artisan
Get some CRC around it, wriggle and grunt for a while and it will release. Clean the shaft and the beater hole. Flour builds up in there and grabs on tight.
Buzzing
Probably the field windings a bit loose. You need to be careful with those, don't tighten the nuts up too tight, just enough so they will not come loose is enough.
Top head shakes
Tilt it upside down on a towel and tighten the screw right up inside the pedestal that holds the hinge pin.
Kitchenaid Mixer Planetary becomes sluggish when met with resistance.
The problem will be with the worm gear, if the gear is not stripped then check that the locating pin for the worm gear is not broken or missing. Occasionally the plastic gear can detach from the aluminium boss between plastic and shaft. The worm gear is the 99.9% place where drive can slip. Afterthought, I suppose the planetary pin is not missing or broken??
The head shakes
Tip it upside down on a towel and tighten the screw in the middle of the screw hinge pin. Right up through the middle of the pedestal.
