John M Lake Orion , MI November 26, 2018 Appliance: Whirlpool 4 1/2 Qt. Stand Mixer Classic - Tilt K45SSAC-0 No stir or slow speed on older (mid 1980s) Kitchenaid would go to "high" as soon as it was turned on I bought the 3 components- Speed Control Plate, Speed Governor, and Phase Control Board after researching what components could be the culprit of the issue. I started out by replacing the speed control board and the governor, which had no effect on the issue. I replaced the Phase Control Board and the issue was resolved. All in all about 1.5 hours of work to do all 3 parts from tear down to button-up.

Robert C Augusta , WI April 29, 2019 Appliance: KitchenAid Portables - Stand Mixer KSM90 Stopped working speed control, was intermittent before it quit (it was going on for a while) I purchased a new speed control plate, governor, phase control board and seal. As long as I was fixing it, I just changed everything. As I was removing the old, I found one wire had broken off the control plate and had to replace the flag connector on the wire.(white wire) I followed the videos and they were great!! I would not have known about the speed control adjustments and would have taken the screws out without thinking. The repairs went easy as the video. I checked the adjustment and had the right revolutions at low and 6. However I did not have any different speed above 6. It seemed to be dragging a bit. I took off the planetary and cleaned and applied new grease, put it back together and then had the higher speeds. Magic?? Back in business!! I ordered the parts on a Tuesday morning, they were shipped within a short time, I think less than a hour and had them in my hands the next day. Hard to believe they came so fast (FED EX) I am glad I found you! Thanks!

Sabiha H Henderson , NV September 03, 2020 KitchenAid stand mixer speeding erratically I've had my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for years and it was given to me by my mother-in-law who also had it for years. It's probably a model from the early 2000s but has always worked beautifully. A few weeks ago, it started speeding erratically unexpectedly. After a bit of research and discovery and tinkering, I still could not figure out why the problem was happening. I inquired about having it fixed professionally but that would've cost me a minimum of $100 plus whatever parts on top of that. I use my mixer multiple times a week and couldn't really leave it in the shop for a week either. After watching a few of the videos from Appliance Parts Pros, I thought that maybe I could give fixing it myself a try. So I ordered the 3 parts that are recommended together (cost roughly $45), paid for the expedited shipping, got the parts in 2 days and spent roughly an hour slowly working through the videos to remove the old parts and install the new ones. I am a mom of a 4 year old and a 9 month old and they do not leave me alone so this was all done with constant interruptions and sometimes, my baby on my hip. Even still, I was able to do each part and piece easily and smoothly. Lo and behold, I fixed the dang thing! I'm so impressed with myself actually! Thanks to these guys for saving me a bunch of $ and time and the ego boost!

Jeff E Alma , KS January 27, 2019 Appliance: Whirlpool 4 1/2 Qt. Stand Mixer Classic - Tilt K45SSAC-0 My wife’s Kitchenaid mixer had two speeds: off and on!!! I replaced three parts since I was doing the repair anyway and would have the mixer apart. The Phase Control Board, the Speed Control Plate and the Speed Governor. I was not that much more to replace all the parts, and I wanted to get it right the first time. The videos that accompany the parts when you look them up are extremely easy to follow along and I was able to quickly disassemble, replace and make all necessary speed adjustments. I highly recommend Appliance Parts Pros as I got my parts quickly as well. Great job!
