Thank you for this tutorial. You saved me $$$$$. I fixed my 45 year old Kitchenaid stand mixer. Took it step by step. Works great now.

[@christinebennett597]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I needed this to help me replace the control plate on my Artisan mixer. I also replaced the board while I was at it. Now my mixer works just like it supposed to. I couldn’t have done it without this tutorial, thank you!!!

[@TranceRufus]

Cheers, man! Nice clear concise instructions with excellent video and audio quality. That's an extremely rare sight for tutorial videos. My mixer is back! God bless!

[@appliancepartspros]

You are welcome! Glad you were able to fix your issue! If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.

[@Daniel-dn7ic]

Thank you. Found it very helpful, especially as there weren't many videos specific to this. I was able to get away with just tightening the screw for the speed lever fix. All went pretty smooth until I was replacing the rear cover and pinched the power wire, shorting out the machine! That led to another video, trip to Harbor Freight, and wire repair. All is well now. Needless to say, be careful tucking the wires back in and putting on the plate.

[@eSusan12]

Our mixer was turning on from the off position, we took off the controller cleaned the parts reattached and found a short in ground wire, all fixed now. Thank you for the great tutorial.

[@ronr6826]

That was great: solved my problem. I had been fumbling about with the screws back there trying to figure something out; and, my mixer would not work anymore. Well, runs like a charm, now! Thank you very much!! :)

[@annetterobbeins8538]

a guy on tiktok diagnosed my problem for me... but shipping the unit to him in Tennessee was really expensive ... so I called a shop here in carlsbad and over the phone he quoted me $200. I found the part on Amazon for $16 and your video .... and I have my machine working again While I understand that the Carlsbad guy has rent to pay.... $200 is completely unreasonable for a 5 minute fix and a $16 part. I have to wonder how many people have thrown their units out because of quotes like this. Had he quoted me $50 or $75 I probably would have paid it and not thought twice about it thank you for your helpful video! (im off to make sausage now)

[@jahfly]

This is a great tutorial, but I thought I'd share my experience. Our stand mixer suddenly stopped working and tripped the GFI circuit in our kitchen outlet. Once we confirmed that the outlets were working, the stand mixer still wouldn't start. So I searched the internet and found this tutorial. However, the problem wasn't with this part. The problem was with the carbon brushes located on each side of the main housing (the big black regular screw heads). I took these out and found them to be quite dirty. I brushed off the residue and reinserted the brushes and the machine worked. You have to be careful, the brushes are rectangular pegs, but one side is chamfered at a 45 degree angle. Pay careful attention which direction the angled side is facing when you pull it out. It has to go back the same way. The other side will be the opposite. For example, the right side brush had the angled side pointed in the upper left corner, the left side was pointed in the lower right corner. Anyways, check and clean your brushes first. If that doesn't fix it, then give this part a try. Hope this helps!

[@Megasteel32]

James, thank you so much for your comment. My mixer was having some weird issue that I suspected was the kevlar gear (it was) but I must have replaced the brushes in the wrong orientation when checking them. your comment reminded me to check those, and sure enough I had them the wrong way. thank you again!

[@eliukari4]

Thank God, I saw this comment. It was just what I needed to get my kitchen aid mixer fixed.

[@garyeden9552]

Mine wouldn't turn on. What I found was simply dirty contact on the points of that copper bar across the bottom. Cleaned the contacts. Works!! View @ 6:08.

[@robertmoore9998]

My mixer was running intermittently up to speed 6, and would not start below 6 unless you moved the speed control to max and then slow it down. It was suggested that I needed a new speed control. Taking the rear cover off and observing the contacts I discovered the main contact was not always making contacting. You could see small arcs across the contacts , especially in the lower speed range. Before the new control as suggested I slightly bent the contact on the control board upward to make better contact and the mixer runs just as new. My experience, your may be different.

[@GunsNBudder]

Big help! Thanks for ending my search!!

[@mjmjross]

Quick question. Is it possible to test the motor by connecting the line and neutral wires directly to the red and white wires on the motor, thus bypassing the phase and control plate? I have a dead machine and not sure what to buy? I have checked the brushes and OHM tested the cord, all good.

[@boblordylordyhowie]

Try fixing a Kitchenaid mixer in the UK, you can't find spares anywhere. I had a similar problem with the speed control arm slipping back and not switching off. I discovered it was the flat spring that goes under the lever was missing and when I applied tension to the lever it stayed in the stop position. The problem is trying to find spares, I wanted a new gasket but couldn't find anything beyond mixing blades and bowls.

[@Sourillot]

Excellente explication , excellente présentation, un grand merci, je n'arrivais pas à trouver les réglages .Thank you so much.

[@kylelaudi]

[@shawncunningham2146]

Hi, good video, thanks. I am having a problem with the mixer not even starting at this point. its almost new. The wife was cleaning it and it tipped over on the counter and fell on the speed control lever. i fixed the control lever, but it still won't start up. Any ideas on where I should start, and what I probably need to replace? IE, speed control plate or chip on top of the speed control plate? Thanks again.

[@4ampaul]

Very good video. My mixer motor was noisy and reving up and down. I replaced this board and now it runs like normal

[@ScottFrye000111222]

First off , THANKS for this video. It has helped many of us . Secondly, should I be able to measure some value of ohms from the motor winding while I'm working on the control plate? Right now I get open circuit from the TWO motor leads. Thanks

[@dr.alexanderpufahl1796]

Great video - thanks a lot. Helped me mount the speed control plate and adjust the speeds to their proper setting.

[@Tweeze513]

I didn’t unplug it before taking the brushes off and there was contact with the outside of the mixer. There was a big spark. Did I just blow the motor? I originally took it apart to replace worm gear. Which I did successfully but now it won’t run. I could hear the motor running before but not anymore

[@jamhari4780]

It looks like I lost the locking plate (05:45) (where we set the high speed), as I don't see it in my mixer when I opened it? My mixer doesn't stop even when its on off position and even at the lowest speed, it runs faster. Doesn't the locking plate come with the actual speed control plate WPW10119326?

[@KateriLawson]

And what if we weren’t quick enough with the towel? Do you sell a tiny replacement spring?

[@bobluby2962]

Do replacement speed control boards come with the locking plate

[@appliancepartspros]

Are you referring to the black plate with the terminals? If so, yes. If you're in need of a separate part, the model number of the mixer would be needed.

[@BringItOn31124]

That "spring locking mechanism " or "locking plate" as he called it must not be essential to the mixer because my older (15 year old) and newer (1 month old) mixers never had one and I haven't seen it sold with any speed control plate.

[@fuocoj]

I had to replace the speed governor as it only worked at top speed. My wife plugged it into a 220 outlet. While I was taking the plate off the end of the spring got bent and then it bounced inside so I had to dismantle everything to put the spring back in place. I then reassembled everything but now I am getting no power at all. Not sure if something isn’t secured enough on the speed control plate. I’ve tried to crimp down on the wires so they aren’t moving. Am I missing anything?

[@audiophileman7047]

I replaced both the governor and speed control plate on my mixer. Your instructions were really good. I had to loosen the stir speed adjusting screws more than the 3/8" factory setting. I actually had to go out to 9/16"; that's about a little more than 1/8". Is that normal? At first I thought the governor wasn't fully engaged, but after checking it again, I found it to be seated. The governor must be a little bigger than the original one. I was wondering if something was wrong since I had to adjust it out so much. It runs well at that setting, so everything seems to be fine. Thanks!

[@appliancepartspros]

That's not unusual. Glad we could help you get it repaired!

Our Classic Kitchaid mix was making a rubbing noise, so I took the back cover off. I discovered a nut had fallen off and the other side was loose. I could not reach the thread to put the nut back on. I took the mixer speed control plate off and when I did I counted the number of turns. I had not seen your video yet. I put the plate back on and used the measurements you gave (3/8 & 9/32). It would not turn on. I adjusted the screws, but still nothing. The bottom screw is not long enough to get a measurement of 9/32. Any thought on what I can do? Thank you!

[@Greg042869]

Hey, thanks for the response. I think the previous owner messed the thing up by not putting the locking washers back on the threaded rods that hold the motor field assembly in. The nuts were backing out, allowing the field assembly to slop around. The machine was knocking and grinding. There are lots of other issues too, but I think I am getting it back together. I hope.

[@greatpies9959]

Hello, my mixer is making a grinding noise. Did you get yours to stop? Thanks

[@Greg042869]

Mostly. I just replaced the locking washers on the threaded rods that hold the field assembly in place. There are still some little bits of broken magnet that are getting ground up inside, and eventually I'll most likely need to replace the field assembly.

[@miguelrf7949]

Thnks very helpfull, itn worked for me. The only problem is I cant reach 15 reps in 15 seconds, I tried to adjust de screw but it only get 12.

[@peteduncan921]

15 reps in 15 seconds would be the proper speed for the "Stir" speed setting. This is supposed be adjusted using the two screws at the top of the speed control plate. The single screw at the bottom is used to fine tune the higher speeds (3 reps per second for Speed-6) after the "Stir" speed has been adjusted.

Hi, thank you for your video. I’ve fixed my KitchenAid Heavy Duty (uk) because of your video. Can I ask, are the RPM’s the same in the UK as they are in the USA?

You will need to check for damaged wiring and the speed control plate, also check the motor brushes for damage.

Hi teacher. I have a mixer, the same as without load, it works perfectly well, but when I put it to work making pizza dough, for example, after a short time of work, it begins to have ups and downs in speed, and when placing it on high it does not suffer any change. reducing the speed from top to bottom it stops at 4 and you have to keep going down to turn on

[@brintdriggs6228]

Great video. Thanks for posting. I successfully replaced the speed control plate; however, the mixer will not turn off when the speed control lever is put in the off position. When plugged in, the mixer automatically flips to the 2 or 3 speed position making it impossible to turn off without unplugging the mixer. Can you advise me on what is causing this? I'm wondering if the spring on the speed control switch is not applying enough tension to the plate to keep the lever in the off position? Thanks for any advise you can offer.

[@laurabrashler4402]

Hi, I was working on this and the spring shot back into the mixer. How do I hook it back on?

[@peteduncan921]

If you can see the spring up inside the housing, you may be able to hook it with something and pull it back out. Maybe a piece of stiff wire with a short hook bent at one end would work. If you can't see the spring to grab it, you can remove the top of the mixer from the lower part. There are "re-greasing" videos online that show how to do this.

[@remi-tl5lp]

From 60hz to 50hz the motor runs slower, so it is necessary to check the centrifugal switch weights which must stop the motor through the adjustment plate. Very rare, the small circuit, above the plate, if it is defective leads to this failure= impossibility of adjustment, but appliance will be able to say more , Good day !

You have to change the whole motor. Better you buy it 220 volts.

My mother's mixer was acting up. She got it back in about 1984 and was just about to toss it. She was really upset. It kept shocking her and then finally wouldn't even run. I took the back cover off and found that the motor control plate was filthy. I cleaned it with an old tooth brush. Then I removed the brushes and blew out the brush holders. I put the brushes back in and tried it out. It started running. It runs through all the settings now. It does sound kind of loud. It may need the grease changed. Not bad for a mixer that is over 40 years old. I wonder why it has worked so well and lasted so long. Oh. It says that it was made in Ohio. Now I understand.
