My Kenwood Chef Mixer (Stand mixer Model no A910E, not the models you have in your 'pick list' - 375Watts) which has been in regular use for 20 years suddenly started smoking today - rather dramatically! I turned it off and disconnected it. There is no obvious damamge outside, but I don't know how to check inside. Will I be able to get this serviced anywhere, or is it too ancient? It has been a wonderful mixer, especially for kneading bread with the dough hook.

for both attachments to fall out the planet hub must be worn out. check that there is a spring clip in the groove of the beaters. if you have had it repaired recently it may be running backwards which woluld eject the attachments.

I live in the US and have an old Kenwood KM230 Mixer that I absolutely love. Unfortunately I can not locate a replacement for the spashguard that has now cracked. The old splashguard item # 27215/31227 is the replacement spashguard....any solutions

whats the problem with the mixer?

This kind of unit are lubricated with grase paste. If the unit stays inactive for a long time, or if the motor and gears are overheating the grease paste gets melted into thin oil, and that will cause leaks.

To lubricate the unit, you need to spread again the grease in the gearbox, using special foodsafe grease paste.
Disassemblying the gear box is not that easy, you will need previous experience and a gear puller to do the job properly and safely.
This appliances are also held with security screws to prevent the users from taking apart the unit, and can only be disassembled using a Security screwdriver tip.

The grease can be purchased here, check at the bottom of the page: Kenwood chef food mixer Grease.

The model number doesn't really exist other than the fact that the stainless steel bowl is available for just about every Chef made. My own KM300 has a stainless steel bowl for example that came as standard - it however is the same bowl you can order from Kenwood or EBay under the A701/A901 model - all bowls from Kenwood can be fitted on the Chef model with the exception of the Major model which is a larger and taller machine.

Hi, maybe your circuit its not burning, in theses models its normally the capacitor or triac, resistor as well,
with just change thats components the machine working again

Hi,

Have you dishwash the attachments?

What you need is a service manual which is difficult to get for any Chef regardless of the KM300. Ive got a KM310 model but the user manual is similar to this if it helps:
