Hi, JDMCIN. I hate it when that happens. It seems that power is not getting to the armature from the brushes so I would suspect that one or both of the brushes is (are) not seated properly. I'd suggest removing them again and making sure the contacts are facing in the right direction to contact the armature’s commutator. The concave contact face should be resting completely on the commutator. If you've turned it 90 degrees too much, it won’t' seat properly and the motor doesn’t get any juice.
Good luck, I hope this helps. Howard, Burke, VA\

The gears will not work. It will not turn on

There are three springs which can be seen when the back cover is removed. Two are behind the black control plate (the pair of screws at the top of the plate are tensioned by these screws) and another spring that pulls on the bottom of the control plate (this one comes from deep inside the motor housing).

The following link will take you to a copy of the KitchenAid Service Manual which will help you identify the springs and, I hope, the problem.

Kitchen aid--heavy duty mixer

The beater is held in place by a pin and spring arrangement. Lift and twist the beater. If that doesn't work, the pin is trying to come out...and is wedging against the beater. Tap the pin back in a bit, and the beater should release.

My kitchen aid mixer makes a clicking sound when it is on and will not mix properly. It spins, but sounds bad.

Check the motor brushes. You'll see two black plugs with flathead screwdrivera small one, Unscrew to check, if only springs or very worn,youll,know.Its a maintenance problem.

Kitchen Aid Classic mixer

There are 2 possibilities, the attachments are worn out where they go on the shaft, simply replacing them could fix it, the other is the shaft is worn out inside the planetary ( where it spins), if it moves allot, 1/8 " or more from side to side, the housing is probably worn, and the planetary needs to be replaced, easy job, don't know cost, a new mixer may be in order.
