Thank you, thank you, thank you! My Artisan Kitchen Aid was super fast on the stir setting, from the day I purchased it, 6 or 7 years ago!! I even sent a video to Kitchen Aid showing how crazy fast it was, making it impossible to stir flour! Their response was that Artisan was “faster than other Kitchen Aid’s”🙄. All these years I’ve been manually stirring until it’s mixed well, then I turn the mixer on. I followed your video...and...it’s fixed!
Wow this has turned a dysfunctional mixer into a great one.
All I need now is video that transforms me from a dysfunctional cook into a great one 😂
Jade & KA Parts Ltd Thanks so much for this clear and well presented video on setting the speed on a Kitchen Aid mixer. I have had mine for over ten years and had noticed over the last year or more that when starting on the stir speed it was turning too fast which made incorporating flour into other ingredients messy tossing it out of the bowl even with the shields attached. After carefully following your instructions the stir speed is spot on and the problem solved.
Thanks again!
Out of all the videos I watched regarding this issue, yours is the only one that specified starting measurements and speeds....the rest were just a bunch of guys scratching their heads and saying they weren't sure what they were doing. I used your method and it worked perfectly. Thanks.
Hi Donald P,
Thank you for your kind words.
We are glad to help.

THANK YOU!!!!! I can't seriously thank you enough for this easy and precise video. My mixer is finally going the correct speed. I am so happy! This made my week! Take care!
Great to hear!
OMG THANK YOU!!! I’m totally trying this!! My KA mixer is too fast the flour literally exploded all over my kitchen when I added it to the cookie dough. 😂💔
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I love you, I love you, I love you!!! I had my kitchenaid to reparation twice and they said it was fixed, the service center and the kitchenaid customer service didn’t believe me when I said it was still too slow. They said it ran completely as it should and that they couldn’t fix it anymore. I just sent them this video and told them they were wrong!!!
I wish I’d watched your videos before taking mine apart to fix the fibre gear that had worn out! But, watching your videos helped me no end putting it back together and in particular this one for setting the speed of it. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My mixer just started going so fast, flour was flinging out at stir. I followed your video and it worked. I did notice that stir and 2 are the same speed, but I’m ok with that. It’s still too loud, but maybe it needs oiling. Again, thank you for clear directions without info I didn’t understand!
Thank you so much. I had long detested that my stir level was too fast, way faster than my mom's KA. Easy fix!
For anyone doing this, a 11/32" box wrench fits those nuts. For adjusting speed 6, turning the screw clockwise makes it faster. Also, while you have the tail piece off you can clean the rear vents of any clogged food matter other people in your house got in them. ;)
You are awesome, saved me from returning the unit coz stir setting stopped. Like you presented, just a few twist of the screw driver and then I got the stir speed back. thanks
Thank you again for responding so quickly !
Yes, the circuit interrupter on the wall kept tripping (4 times while making a banana bread). The mixer was not hot to the touch when this happened and I made sure nothing else was plugged into that outlet to prevent an over load (I have plugged a 1500 watt appliance to this outlet before without any issues).
However, I did noticed the interrupter tripping the 4 times while switching from high to lower speeds. Just before I wrote this, I run the mixer without an attachment or bowl and the breaker did NOT trip while changing speeds. Looks like the problem is only apparent when the mixer is loaded; even if it's just a light load.
It does sounds like an electrical problem in the mixer. It will probably get worse. Which country are you in and what voltage is the mixer?
To simplicity, upon removing the back plate, you will see those three screws, the top two control the low speed and the bottom screw the high speed, (oddly, the back pivots, so they work independently)
So loosen the nuts on the top two, and tighten down the screws to lower the rpms of the low speed. Tighten the nuts to anchor. The bottom screw has no anchoring nut, so just make adjustment as needed. For me it was a bit hard to tell, but it was fast enough in any case, so I just snugged that screw up a bit. Super high speed only needed to get egg whites and cream started, once it starts your good anyway. Also, my model was the Heavy Duty. I hope that speeds things up for a few people. Re: somehow my stir rpms were at 102rpm, I got them to 70, than to about 50, but at that point the stir mode did not send enough current to activate, so I got it to about 60, where she said, which is a find speed to knead bread. My high speed is now at 300rpms.
Now id like to know, can i oil or lube the insides?? Thanks
Thank you for making this! This helped us fix my mom's stand mixer. Definitely bookmarking this for the future.
OMG...thank you for the video...I can’t believe that I can (finally) fix my KA mixer myself. I have order a phase control board from amazon and can’t solve the problem but your video help me to solve this problem. Thank you very...very much!
Hi there,
I am very glad to hear our video has helped you to fix your mixer.
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you
Jade
Thank you so much!! This was Super helpful. I was able to fix my mixer on my own. Great information.
I have an older 1950s ka mixer and I just measured mine at speed 1/stir for ten seconds and it hit my hand 32 times in 10 seconds!! I knew it was too fast. 😂
Great video - straight and to the point, and it helped me get my stand mixer working properly. Thanks!
Very good video. Helped me fix my mixer. Watched a few of your videos and impressed.
One problem I have now is that the mixer won’t stop. When set to stop, it runs slow. Any ideas?
That's what I get for tightening loose screws. Thanks for this vlog ...now I can re adjust the screws ..because my mixer went from about dead to super fast
showgirls around the world a dancer family lol I did the same thing! I saw a loose screw and thought “I should tighten this!”
@@adinamarquez8444 ok now i dont feel so bad* smiles friend
Perfect. My mixer was very unbalanced and jumping over the table. This worked perfectly
Thank you! Finally got my mixer to slow down!
Thank you for this!! I thought mine was broken because it wouldn’t turn off. It was on 0 speed and it wouldn’t turn off. Turns out I just needed to do this
I would keep the screwdriver on the top screws when tightening the nuts to lock down so the screws don't turn when you are locking down the nuts :-)
Good video :-)
Thank you so much for this! It's exactly what I needed! :)
Thank you! Great info and well presented. I'll have a cleaner kitchen going forward!
Love your channel and all the amazing knowledge and tips.
Spot on!! Thank you!!
Muchas gracias necesitaba saber esos datos, continúe con estos videos informativos .
Repaso los datos :

Thank you for the video one of my mixers runs really fast on the first speed,i'm going to take mine apart to slow it down
Hello, could you tell me if a lack of strength when mixing a dough could be the governor's fault?
Quality video,Many thanks for all the information and tips.
THANK YOU! i was about to sell my $500 mixer for $150 all because of the speed being too fast when just on stir.
Had 17 on the lowest setting, who knows how many on high lol(40+),...turned it down to 11, probably wont make as much of a mess now adding liquid., thanks for the video
What does the lower single screw do, i cant tell where to get the 5mm measuement from, mine seems tight?
My mixer won't spin slower than 80 RPM even if I tighten the screws all the way down it still spins at 80RPM.
I have this same issue, did you solve it in any way?
I was wondering why she put the cover back on before making adjustments then I realized she is working with 240v.
Super helpful, thank you!
Thank you! I was able to fix the issue!
You are welcome!
Thank you for posting.
Thanks for your very clear tutorials. I took my mixer apart to repaint and and now it won't work on the low settings but does work perfectly well on the higher ones. Do you have any idea what may be wrong with it? Thank you Lorraine X
Turn the top 2 screws on the control plate counterclockwise with the mixer in first-speed until it starts. Then adjust them to the proper speed .
Hi. I've watched your video and managed to get my KA to point where it now just pulses on the first setting . I can't seem to get it to revolve consistently and now I have the top screws virtually wound out. They are nearly 2cm out. What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like there is something else that is wrong with your mixer. Each fault usually takes a few steps to try and narrow down the potential cause. We can try to help you further if you could email us at customerhelp@kaparts.co.uk. A video would really help, especially if you can run the mixer with the rear cover off and show the control plate from sveral angles while you move the speed slowly from off to speed 4-6.
Hello, i have a Kitchen Aid Custom 325 Max Watts.
The speed is very fast. When I try number 1, the speed is like 6 or 8.
I tried your ways to adjust the screws but it's still the same. Can you please help.
Thank you
It could one of many issues. If you want to help us to diagnose the fault please start by sending a video to our email address customerhelp@kaparts.co.uk In video we would like to see (and hear) the mixer as you turn it from off to the first speed (or stir) for 3 seconds. Then increase the speed slowly to max move the lever one stop every 1-2 seconds. Then return the mixer to off. If you feel comfortable doing so, please then send a second video showing the same with the end cover off. This time concentrate on the control plate and governor if you can.
Thank you very much for the prompt reply!
I was just going by the "dime test" to adjust the clearance of the bowl. On my other Hobbart k45ss the dime moves about an inch every turn of the paddle. On the K5ss the paddle doesn't touch the dime at all and is the reason I wanted to adjust the clearance.
Is the K5ss supposed to have a higher clearance of bowl to paddle than the k45ss?
Also, my outlet keeps shuting off (300 watts is probably too much), so should I be using a surge protector?
Finally, at lower speeds (stir & level 2) the speed oscillates, which is not an issue at higher speeds.
Is this normal on the Hobbart K5ss?
I received my Hobbart k5ss from a friend a long time ago and I recently brought it back from storage.
The dime test is a guide for tilt head mixers only. The K5ss clearance is higher not only a few millimetres. I am not sure what you mean by "shutting off". If you mean it trips an RCD or blows a fuse then it sounds like something is wrong. Some K5SS's had a thermal override which would trip if the mixer gets too hot. Do you mean this? The speed oscillation is not uncommon and is often something not quite right with the governor or speed plate. Many people live with it.
Thank you’
Hi,
Thanks very much for the explanation:it’s really clear and useful. However, what if even tightening the screws to the point that the planetary starts to spin just plug in the speed is still higher than 60 rpm? What is wrong with the machine in such case?
Thanks for the support.
Regards.
If the mixer is not running at it's highest speed then it is likely that the problem is with the governor or control plate. The governor should have two weights that when the mixer spins move outwards and move the end of the governor to touch the control plate. Sometimes the governor can become damaged or the ball bearing on the end of the governor can jam and wear the control plate. The contacts at the top of the control plate are designed to lift away at different rates when the governor touches the control plate.
@@KapartsCoUk Thanks for your response. I will review both parts to see if need to be replaced. Regards
I just noticed that suddenly my KA speed 1 and 2 are the same. I've had it for 5yrs. I'm too scared to try this out. Anything with electric😭
Thank you very much clarifying my questions. Looks like this will be my summer project. Do you think is safe to continue to ise it? I would hate to ruin it.
It's not really a good idea to use any electrical equipment that is causing circuits to trip. If the circuit breaker fails you could risk being electrocuted. I hope that when you take it apart and clean it you will resolve the problem or be able to see where the issue is.
Thank you very much for answering my questions. This will definitely be my summer project. Can you suggest any good videos on how to take apart and what to look for?
Do you think I can find the correct brushes on Amazon?
@@aidel.6102 We never finished making our conversion video. That would have had all the steps. I don't know of an alternative. Search Amazon for "KitchenAid Mixer brushes" and you'll find lots to choose from.

I have a K5ss by Hobbart. Does anyone know how to adjust the bowl/attachment clearance.?This machine does not have the screw that adjusts the clearance like the K45ss does. The manual tells how to turn a screw to adjust the clearance on a k45ss, but says to consult an authorized dealer for the k5ss. I called around and nobody in my area works on mixers. Is this something I can do myself? Any help would be appreciated.
There is generally no need to adjust the bowl height on a K5SS. The head is fixed. Is it possible you have the wrong size of attachments?
I am in the USA and the side of the mixer says MAX WATTS 300 Volts 115. HZ 60
Hi, if it were a 220v mixer I'd recommend looking at the RF filter but the 110v models usually don't have one. There are lots of potential reason why it might trip. Being old it may have insulation that has deteriorated or a build up of conductive material (such as worn carbon from the brushes). Usually taking the electrical components out and giving them a through inspection and clean will reveal a lot. It might be worth changing the motor brushes first as this is fairly cheap and can resolve a number of issues.
Typo: To continue to use it?
Hi I know this might be a strange question but Is ur KA Apple 🍏 green, I’m looking to buy the KA in matcha green & can’t seem to find anyone who has 1 ? Enjoyed ur video x
I think this one is apple green. We have a few different colours but no matcha. They seem to be currently available from several places. Good luck in your search.
K A Parts Limited thank you 😊 for your speedy answer , just waiting for it to come available on kitchenaid site xx
What do I do I don’t have a stir speed on my kitchenaid mixer what can I do thank you
I tried this but made things worse. Something rubs against that copper plate and makes a lot of noise like a chainsaw is running. I can't run it more than 3 seconds because I'm afraid that the motor's going to fail. it rubs against the copper plate no matter how much I loose the screws. Please help. It's a very expensive machine here where I live and there is no way that I can buy another ='(
Hi Morielen,
Thank you for your comment.
Would you kindly be able to send us a video of the issue you are having so we can send this over to our technical department to see if we can help you.
Our email address is customerhelp@kaparts.co.uk
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Jade
Hi, I want to change the rotation direction of my KA KSM90 mixer. Can you point me to a link how to do it? Thanks
Hi, if you can reverse the rotation in the motor, but in a mixer the direction of rotation is important to maintain the stability of mechanical work. The operational safety of the equipment is affected and parts can become loose or break due to this change.
I think the beaters will fall out!
ANY SUGGESTION IF THE SPEED IS STUCK ON HIGH AT ALL LEVELS
It could be any one of a number of things; a failed phase board, control plate, governor or the spring not connected to the control plate for a start. Email us with photos of the control plate from several angles and we may be any to help.
How did you fix it? Was it fixed? Mine too, stuck on high levels. Sad
Do you know why was my first post deleted. Did I accidentally deleted it?
Try sorting the comments by "Newest first"
What to do if you counted more then 10 per 10 sec?
Thank you for watching our video. If your mixer is too fast you will need to turn the screws the opposite direction to reduce the speed.
is it 110v?
For setting the speed, the voltage is irrelevent.
Hi Jade. Thanks, I got the Gasket. Royal mail finally delivered. (acsatom84)
Official KitchenAid service manual states that steer speed should be 43 to 50 rpm. While speed 2 should be 56 to 64 rpm. That's different than proposed 60rpm for steer speed by you.
The advice we are following is what was set out in the service manual for the models we are covering. There are many models of KitchenAid Mixers and only a very few have different speed requirements. Perhaps you could share the manual you have and the models that it covers?
@@dougpickering2028 It's called "KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer Speed Control
Theory of Operation And Troubleshooting Guide (revision date 6/19/2012)". Here's what is says:
Speed STIR - adjust screws 1 & 2 for a hub rotational speed of 43 to 50 rpm.
Speed 2 - adjust screw 3 for a hub rotational speed of 56 to 64 rpm.
I have 5KSM175PSECA (Europe model) bough couple of days ago. Should I go with this settings or with yours?
I couldn't find service manual for my model.
Thanks!
@@zustroy Hi Alex, Thank you for sharing the information. Although the manual is not an official KitchenAid document the hub speeds stated are in the same range. The hub and the planetary rotate at different speeds. The ratio is 23:19. A rotational speed of 60RPM on the Planetary would give a rotation or 49.56 RPM at the hub. The only official service manual we are aware of is here: www.kitchenaidparts.eu/documents/pdf/service-manual/classic-svc-manual-new-email-version.pdf
@@dougpickering2028 Thank you for clarifying! Can you please look at my video and comment about the sound. There's rattling sound. I tightened two bolts on sides, adjusted 3 screws to match proposed rpm. Is there something I can do about this sound? Is this normal? Rattling sound is only present at Stir speed. Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/Khcv7iir3aY/v-deo.html
@@zustroy HI, There is a "knocking" that is not normal. It sounds like it is coming from the front of the mixer. To work out what it is you will need to at least take the planetary off (we have other videos to show what to do, have a look at our worm gear replacement). Try the mixer without the planetary in place to check whether you need to look inside. It sounds very like it could be one of the planetary screws loose and hitting the planetary or a tooth damaged on one of the internal gears. Making sure the gears have a good amount of grease on them will also help. If you want to send photos please send them to customerhelp@kaparts.co.uk and we will do our best to help.
Typo: ran the mixer
T
5 mm from what ??
10 mm from where ??
The distance between the nut and the plate, I think.
