Repairing a KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2022
- I got this KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus (KV25G0XER) stand mixer for free. The previous owner said this mixer loses power and makes a grinding noise under load. The transmission housing was cracked, a sleeve bearing was broken, and the worm gear was chewed up. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

One of the best ones I watched. Quick to the point.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! :)
Just rebuilt mine, thank you so much for the tutorial. Made it very easy!
That's great, I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for the comment! :)
Good video. Should help many folks who are reluctant to open it up!
Thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback!
WOW - BEAUTIFUL WORK!
Thanks, I appreciate it! :)
Mike, great video! My mixer has sounded awful for the last few years, but I don't know where to take it in to get it looked at. Plus, not sure I want to drop a bunch of cash on fixing it. This video has given me the confidence to pop it open and take a look myself. Hopeful the damage is minimal and it just need some new grease!! Thanks again!
Thanks! I spent $75 repairing this mixer but, to me, it was worth it since this model retails for $450 new. It's normal for the gears to wear out over time. It's nice to have the option to replace the gears and then the mixer is good as new rather than having to buy a new one. My guess is that the sound you're hearing is the worn gears grinding together. Thanks for the comment, let me know how it goes!
Awesome job man..thanks!
I appreciate it, thanks for watching! :)
Mine isn't even broken but I will remember Mike's pro repair tips for the future!
Hahaha, I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Great video THANKS for doing it
Thanks for watching it! :)
Already an amazing video, I'm not even halfway through
Thank you, I appreciate it! :)
great video..... thanks for the detail images and info...!!!!! now... let see if I can do the same... LOL
You should have no problem getting it fixed up, let me know how it goes! Thanks for the comment. :)
I removed the snap ring (1:45) but I can’t get the beveled gear to budge. Is there something else holding it on? (1:51) I’ve even tried using a screwdriver on her knees to push it up, but there is definitely something mechanical holding it because it requires a lot of force and it’s not moving
Hmmm... the snap ring should be the only thing keeping the bevel gear from sliding up the shaft. You could try holding the mixer rod below still with one hand while grabbing the sides of the gear with a pair of adjustable channel lock pliers to see if you can just get the gear to budge a hair in both directions. That might be enough to free it up so it'll come off. Let me know how it goes!
Great video. I was grinding beef and must not have seated the attachment well. The meat grinding attachment flew off, and the shiny silver thing that you stick the attachment in turned so that the opening where you screw in the set screw is no longer aligned with it so now I can’t use any of the attachments. Any thoughts on how to fix?
I'm no pro but, if you take off the top cover, you should be able to pop that collar out. Then you can reinsert it, so the set screw lines up with the hole again.
Thanks, Mike! I’ll try it.
Hi Mike, it's great video. Where can i order the parts and find part numbers? 😊
There should be a sticker on the bottom of your mixer with the exact model number. Now you can find a parts diagram for your model which will include all part numbers. See my video description for the part numbers I used and links to buy 'em. Amazon and eBay are my go-to sources for all replacement parts but there are other such as daytonapplianceparts.com .
thank you mine dose the same thing now i goto go find the parts
I have some part links in the video description that might help. Thanks for watching!
There is a lot of play in my worm gear (moves backwards and forwards) which translates to a lot of movement in the planetary. Would that be caused by the teeth being worn?
I'm no pro but, if all of the gear teeth look good and uniform, the bronze bushings on the ends of the worm gear could be worn out or chipped which is allowing the excess movement.
What did you use to clean the grease?
After removing as much old grease as I could with a chopstick and a wooden grill skewer, I just wiped out the rest with a dry rag.
Cool, but I hope that top bearing in the transmission "accidentally" got some grease while assembly.
Yeah, I thought about the same thing while editing the video. There was grease on the end of the shaft, but I should have squired some into the top of the housing.
Mike, I got a new mixer but it stops after few seconds. What might be the issue?
Is it brand new? If so, you should call Kitchenaid support ASAP so they can fix or replace it. If it's not brand new, it's hard to know for sure. I'm no pro but maybe it's the switch or possibly even the motor.
My stand mixer is making a piping noise can you show what that possible be?
I'm no pro but the gears wear down over time, so the popping sound is probably the teeth slipping.
@@Mikeattempts ok this is my 2 kitchen aid 1st was a tilt this one right from the get go was louder it is now 14 months old and this evening while making pizza dough it started this I could not figure out how to open my mothers (I took band stew off but it didn’t move( hers 30 years old back when Hobart owned them) probably grease and grim) I will open this up and take a look thank you.
I can't remove that pin and you make it look so easy!! I am so frustrated !!!
Try pushing up on the rod where you connect the mixing attachments to be sure the pin isn't pinched against the top of the larger worm follower gear.
@@Mikeattempts I did try that, the pin moves a bit to each side, but it's stuck. i will keep trying tho!
@@rp.aguilera You could try tapping the end of the pin with a punch or nail. Let me know how it goes!
Can you fix mine?
Hahaha, come on, just imagine the sense of accomplishment you'll feel when you fix it yourself with the help of this video! :)
There's nothing like lubing up the shaft and sliding it up the hole.
Hell yeah! ;)
Very helpful thank you
Thank you for watching!
