It sounds like a problem under the back cover, maybe a broken wire on the speed controller plate. If you take the cover off to look please remember to unplug it first. If it isn't a broken wire I would be looking at the switch contacts on the inside of the speed control plate operated by that flat rid from the speed control lever.
If it does not start at all until you get to speed 10 then look for a broken wire an any of the wires NOT associated with the phase board. Highly unlikely since you have just been there. Next look at the operation of the switch low down inside the black speed control board. There is a primitive switch there operated by a shaft from your speed control lever. You may find the switch is not activating until it gets right up to speed 10. Have you checked the carbon brushes? The phase board you have just done is normally the culprit for your problem.
If you are just getting one speed at any speed control. Its likely that the speed control mechanism ( probably an electric one has been damaged due to ailing parts). Likely component which may fail over time are electrolyte capacitors. Take a look at the circuitry inside the food mixer.
You may need to change some parts to get back the control.
Did you remove the carbon brushes. If so they go back in any of four ways. But only one way works correctly. If you did not remove the brushes then you need to set the speed timing on the speed control switch at the rear of the machine and you can find a YouTube video on this exact exercise on YouTube of course. You may have also reattached the wires to the speed control switch to the wrong connectors hence no work.
The switch on the titanium has a flimsy week point and is always breaking. This is a stupid economy by Kenwood when there is now so much good competition. Mine broke after only 6 months and Kenwood were less than helpful suggesting I took back to where I bought it - 500 miles away!! I wish I had bought a Kitchen Aid
You need to take the back cover off and then split the gear cases to find the mechanical reason why the lever is stuck. Take the motor off the pedestal, remove the planetary and undo the 9 screws that hold the bottom gearcase to the top housing. You will need to unplug the white and the black wires from one side of the speed control plate.
I have a K5-A, bought it for my S.O., she makes Krispy Cream doughnuts with it. The speed controller on a K5 has "originally" 2 return springs. They rust / break fall out the lower vents in the white cup that covers the rear of the machine. You can remove the cap with the removal of the lone screw at the top rear of the machine. Just gently work off the cap after the screw is removed. MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS UNPLUGGED FIRST!!! There is a funny metal flange thing that is mounted with two screws at the top on springs. This is esentialy the speed controle. It is actuated by a rod conected to the outside switch that runs up the bottom of the motor drive. You'll note the simple but effective off / on switch there. When the springs rot the funny flange thing does not return to its flat resting position and we have no low speeds. The springs attatch to the holes on eather side of the flange and stretch down to a post type mount below the speed mechanism. If you use a good light you can see and mount any small spring to these mounting points and the switch returns to rest and you have all speeds, a single light spring will work.................There, You, Go..........Reassemble.
