Jim J Dresser , WI February 17, 2019 Appliance: Model KP2671XWH The main shaft came out of the original planetary assembly Not only did I replace the Planetary, but also the Transmission Housing (recommended). The biggest challenge (which really wasn't an issue) was removing and replacing the snap ring. The most time consuming aspect of the whole job was removing and replacing the food-grade grease, and overall cleanup of the unit. The repaired mixer works like a charm! Well worth the time and effort; and a lot less expense and hassle than sending the unit in to Kitchenaid!

Ame G Crystal Lake , IL August 16, 2016 Appliance: Model KITCHENAID 6QT PRO Beater was always badly scraping the bowl planetary looked like it was dropping out of the mixer you could actually push it back up into the mixer head After watching a quick video I decided this was something I could fix myself. I took it all apart, replaced the entire planetary head( seriously easy and only like $25-$30) put everything back together and my 6qt kitchenaid pro works good as new!

Elaine H Ripley , WV February 08, 2018 It was making a grinding noise and sounded like a gear was stripped I took it apart, figured out what parts I needed, got on line with AppliancePartsPros, looked at the diagram of my mixer, picked out the parts I needed, ordered them and three days later I had the parts. I put my mixer back together and it's working great. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Michael D Chandler , AZ October 28, 2023 Planetary assembly was dropping while in operation. The repair video was a great aid to making sure the disassembly and reassembly was correct. Replaced planetary assembly (som YouTubers say you can JB weld the shaft back in place but was not interested in an experiment). After disassembly identified a sheared pin and damaged bearings. Total repair cost about $75 including grease (for a $500 Kitchen Aide Pro 600). Thanks for the video- big help. Read More...
