It acts as if there is no power.

This is a kitchen aid. BUT!!!! it is an international model that was sold in countries with 220 volts. Look underneath the mixer for a white tag it should have a model number and a serial number, if you can get us those numbers then we can help with the parts. Hope this helps.

Product is not correctly described, it cannot be an ice dispensing Kitchen Aid Food Mixer, they do not exist.

Check for safety micro switches if you have already checked for power at the phase board

you need a new speed control board, easy fix about $35.00 for the part and an hour of your time, not even messy to do a total of six screws and four wire connections that clip on, several youtube step by step instruction videos available. parts available on ebay. let us know if this helps you

Call the Kitchen Aid small appliance warranty office and they will tell you where the authorized repair person is that is close to you.

Are you using the white coated beaters or the burnished beaters. If they are the white coated beaters then the finish has come off and the zinc/underneath is rubbing off. Are you using the aluminum looking beaters in heavy acidic applications? if the mixer is new go to kitchaid customer support they will re-place. if your mixer is out of warranty then you need to replace it. about 15.00 t0 24.00 USD. if the problem persists then you may be leaking metal shavings from the planetary head, (I don't think it is happening but it is a possibility) if it is ground metal shavings you have a serious problem. I can't say anymore without knowing more. What application are you getting this result. is it all the time. is it after the mixer sits along time. need more info.

Where did you get the diode on the circuit board? I did the same thing with my kitchen aid:(

ck yhe relay the on selector controls.

I can not respond to the warranty issues. My kitchen aid mixer is past warranty as well. I live in a country that uses 220V and my kitchen aid mixer is 110V. I have been using my kitchen aid mixer for almost 4 years with no problems at all.

The converter boxes are supposed to blow the fuse on the converter before it reaches your appliance and cause any problems.

If you purchase a 220V kitchen aid (although it would cost more money) it would probably have more power because of the higher voltage.

Hope this helps!
