Gary January 17, 2024 for Model Number KSM150PSER0 Replaced the speed Control plate and can't get the speed adjusted On slow speed it still runs too fast but in a jerking (up and down sound) and high speed it runs too fast What should I be looking at to correct
1 Answer Gary, The speed plate is where it needs to be adjusted. There are the upper nuts that you can adjust but also there is a bottom screw that may need to be adjusted to get the speed correct. Read More...
Ken July 09, 2022 for Model Number K45SS Surges at lowest speed setting (average rpm = 120). Adjustment of speed plate adjusting screws has no impact at stir setting. With mixer running, can even push the top of the plate all the way in, and mixer will not appear to slow down. Mid to high range settings do seem to increase speed slightly. Removed governor as a test. With governor removed, mixer ran at a constant speed throughout all settings -- but no hunting. Was suspecting governor, but this device is so simple with just a spring and two weights which seem to all be intact. Speed plate has no visual defects and speed board has no visual defects.
1 Answer Ken, the control plate spring would need to be inspected to ensure it is securely attached. If it is, the failure would be in the phase control board WPW10325124 (120-Volt phase control board. For 240-volt board use W11174552). Read More...
Mike January 27, 2022 for Model Number KSM150PSMC0 Mixer was only running at high speed. I ordered the governor and control plate replacement parts. After re-assembly, the mixer surges when set at low speed (1 or 2) but runs ok at higher speed. When stepping down from high speed, the mixer does not run when it reaches setting 1. Shut it off and step thru increasing speed levels again. It will surge on level 1 and 2. It seemed like a pressed the governor on all the way. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Mike, likely the speed control plate just needs adjusting, we have a Repair Video here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMRqoz3yKHE&t=92s Read More...
Pikmachine January 22, 2021 for Model Number '87 kitchenaid stand mixer Why does my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer only run at top speed even when control lever is at 1?
1 Answer Pikmachine, The governor [AP6019708} is a very good possibility, but, it is more likely an issue with the speed control plate and or the spring WPW10119326 Speed Control Plate, WP3183680 Spring, Control Plate. If the spring and control plate are properly attached to each other and adjusted properly, then consider the governor and the phase control board. Read More...
Monica October 15, 2020 for Model Number KitchenAid RRK90 My mixer was only working sporadically in stir and 2nd speed. It wasn't going fast at those speed (I've read that happens but it was not happening to me). When i moved it past 2nd speed it would stop and just not do anything. I took some screws off and was looking at it and then I put it back together, and ever since then it wouldn't turn on at all. I then replaced the speed control and phase board and it still wont turn on. Can you help me?
1 Answer Monica, RRK90 is not the correct model number for your KitchenAid mixer, we need it to properly research the issue and parts needed. In the meantime, " I then replaced the speed control and phase board, and it still won't turn on" did you adjust the new speed control board according to the "how-to" video? Could you have left a wire loose or miswired the new parts? is the speed selection spring and lever installed and attached to the speed control Plate. Once you get us a model number we can assist you properly and efficiently. Thanks, Read More...
Novice November 21, 2019 for Model Number KSM150PSOB My Kitchen Aid lever feels lose. The lever moves from off to speed 4 skipping the speeds in between and sometimes the lever moves to the on position by itself.
1 Answer Novice, You will need to separate the upper and lower half of the unit, check to make sure that the screw for the lever is not loose and check to make sure that the spring is not damaged. Read More...
Madalin January 12, 2019 for Model Number KSM150PSER Hi, when I'm using the mixer on high speed it is working fine for 5 minutes or so and then the speed drops. Which component is causing this issue? Thanks!
1 Answer Madalin, you will want to check the phase control plate which is located inside the unit towards the back. If there is a voltage drop from the phase board to the motor after running for that length of time, it can cause your motor to slow down. You will also want to check the spring running from the control lever because if it weakens, it can do the same thing. If the voltage drops to your motor, you may be looking at replacing the phase control board WPW10325124. Read More...
N April 15, 2018 for Model Number kitchenaid KSM90PSER My kitchenaid mixer KSM90PSER does not have the first couple speeds - when I turn it on it is on speed 3 or 4. It also is noisy - a whinny, squeal noise. Also the lever to adjust speed sometimes will not stay in the off position. Would the speed governor or speed control plate be the problem or something else?
1 Answer N. This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty speed control plate WPW10119326. Read More...
Randy December 31, 2017 for Model Number K5SS My mixer makes a loud noise at near the back end at low speeds, then it goes away at higher speeds. Would a bad governor cause that issue? The noise sounds like something hitting a fan blade but I do not see anything to cause it. Thanks!
1 Answer Randy, You will want to check the motor brushes to make sure that they are not damaged but this does sound likely that the governor could be the issue. Read More...
Mike December 21, 2015 for Model Number KSM5PSWW I have an Kitchen Bowl Lift mixer I'm trying to repair. Unfortunately, when I plug it in nothing happens! Where do I start for trouble shooting?
1 Answer Mike, You will want to start by checking the control plate on the unit. Test power into the plate and then to the motor from the plate. Read More...
