For Whirlpool Stand Mixer Speed Control Assembly (Part Number: OEM18041169)

Duke for Model Number kp2671xac

Hi - My wife was using the pro 600 K.Aid 6 qt mixer which is approx 8 yrs old. During the second batch of cookies, smoke came out from under cover hood. She turned off. After letting cool down, mixer would not start. I removed hood cover and checked motor, brushes, transmission etc. All appeared good. No burn marks or electrical burn smell on any individual component. I believe that something on the electronic board failed. There is no power getting to the motor. Nothing on the board is burned, popped or discolored yet I feel this is the problem. The board part number is 9707220. Should I check something else or is this a common problem? The mixer is used quite a bit since purchase. I did not use a volt/ohm meter to check the components on the board - What do you recommend? tks Duke

Hi Eric. The hall effect sensor is part # WP9706648. Look carefully at the motor commutator where the motor brushes hold against the commutator. Slowly rotate the armature. Look at the gaps in between the commutator bars. The Mica-insulator gaps should be evenly spaced between the bars. Normally wearing together as the brush wears also.If you see a area where the bar gaps have arched and burnt open, then the commutator is shorted. Motor Part # 9706251. Always one way to tell is if the motor continuously sparks while running. Thank You.

Hi Todd. You need to change the speed control part # WP9706648. Make sure all connections are tight. Static ground yourself to bare metal a few times so you do not touch any internal new board parts w/static. Touch only the corners of the board. Thank You.

Shae for Model Number kp2671xwh

I have the 6qt Professional stand mixer. I think my control knob is faulty. Symptoms - I can turn the unit on, but it will not shut off. I have to unplug it and then it will not restart. I have taken the housing apart and pulled the switch out and manually realigned the control knob to off. I plugged it back in and turned it on and it started again, but it will not go back to the off position. The part number I think I am looking for is 9706648 - can you confirm that this is the correct part and that I am on the right track for the repair? Thanks.

Hello Dave. It sounds like the problem is with the control assembly. The sensor is used to monitor the motor. If the unit does not have any speed control, you will need to replace the control assembly. Hope this helps.

Hello Nick. Check and make sure on the new board, that the connections are good and tight. A loose connection can burn up and new control board. Hope this helps.
