Kendal S Pekin , IL January 10, 2021 Appliance: KitchenAid Mixer KSM150 The plastic worm gear the pinion gear & hub gear all had teeth sheared off in my daughter's Kitchen Aid artisan stand mixer. The multiple YouTube videos available made it a pretty straight forward step-by-step repair. Not all parts were in stock. They each shipped separately, but I got them all within a 2 week period. Process went pretty smoothly. However, when I first was diagnosing, I took the motor brushes out to check their wear, and did not put them back in until I had all the gears replaced and the mixer back together. Be careful, the brushes fit only a certain way. I had them oriented wrong, and the mixer would not run. Found another YouTube video that explained and showed exactly how they needed to be. Re -oriented them and everything was great. My daughter is happy! We've attributing that all the damage to the gears was due to not using the dough hook attachment, when she should have, on heavy dough. She plans to use it from now on. Everything I've read, indicated these mixers are "horses". Hopeful it will run for many more years. Read More...
