Sounds as if there is a fault with the motor speed control. A Service Manual covering your model can be downloaded at: http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/mendingshed/kitchenaid6qtservicemanual.pdf If that is not your model, then try: http://www.kitchenaidparts.eu/documents/pdf/service-manual/classic-svc-manual-new-email-version.pdf

If the beater passes the dime test there is no need to change the adjustment screw. The screw head rotates an eccentric stop which changes how far up the bowl lift goes. The screw limited to a full range adjustment of !/2 turn. To access the screw internally, the motor head must be removed from the column.

If you are referencing the pin which locks the beater itself to the planetary's shaft, it can be removed with a punch. However, if you are trying to remove the planetary itself, a 5/32" punch will do the trick.

Try cleaning contacts on speed control board. If it works, suggest replace.

What you need to check is going to depend on the model. No point me attempting to help without knowing what one it is. If it has a back cover held on by a single cross head (philips) screw then very likely the solution will be under there. When plugged in there is live power there so be aware ***** is not far away if you plan on messing about while it's live.

The problem, most likely, has to do with the hole in the planetary shaft through which the pin goes. The edges on each side have distorted and flared outward. When this happens, I take a jeweler's file and carefully smooth ridge smooth in each side. After that, the planetary slides back in place.

Model? Look for the tilt lock lever on opposite side from speed control.

Check that hinge pin is in proper position. See following link for video instruction.

It involves unit disassembly.You'll have to determine easy/hard given your skill set.

Sounds very much as if too much dough is being kneaded.

Hello, Alice - The motor for your mixer may need lubrication or some kind of repair.

is it a K45 or a K45SS? If it is a K45 you will have to replace the filters inside and probably the speed control plate, if it is a K45SS then you need a new phase control board. The K45 is pre 1978 and the K45SS is post 1978. Your information is correct on pre 1978 K45 models that the capacitor is bad, but it might be cheaper to go garage sale hunting and find a second machine as the parts are no longer made and having spares on hand may be a significant advantage in the future, also there are a great many of the K45SS parts that will also repair the K45 mixer so it may not be a practical solution. Watch ebay regularly for K45 parts, they come up every couple of months. On the parts diagram also look for the K5 diagram as it is identical to the K45, one is a 5 quart mixer and the other one is 4.5 quart, same parts same motor same everything.

had the same problem with mine, and couldn't read the values, so took one out of another mixer that was good. the tested value on the good one was around 107 nano farads. run your mixer without the cap for a short time only, to see if the speed problem is corrected. If slow speeds will work, then you know it to be the capacitor. Do not leave out for long period of time, you will burn out contacts and poss. outher components Ken

ManualsLib has the use and operation manual for the Kitchenaid KGRT500 free-standing gas range here: https://www.manualslib.com/products/Kitchenaid-Kgrt500-263024.html . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

If it is assembled properly there is not a lot I can think of to cause that problem. Sometimes pushing the hub on can move the shaft up, I would normally whack the hub up to shock the hub on a bit at a time until the shaft is beginning to appear out of the hub hole. You need to have the shaft hole roughly aligned with the hub pin holes or you'll have no hope. Sometimes the pin hole in the shaft can have a burr that will grip the hub, a file fixes that.

What do you call the planetary gear? The planetary hub is held on by a pin thru the shaft that is driven out with a hammer and punch. The small gear in the hub is held on by a circlip on the top side of the beater shaft. The main planetary gives very little trouble and is a press fit in the lower gear case.
