The mixer would not spin so I assumed it was a bad worm gear
I watched a video on how to replace the worm gear. When I opened the mixer I noticed a small screw laying in the grease. I removed as much grease as I could and could not find anywhere that the screw would have come from. All the gears turned and looked fine so I replaced the grease put the mixer back together and it worked fine. I am thinking the small screw must have somehow fallen into the mixer when manufactured. So proud of my 70 year old self for getting the job done.

Leaking Grease
First i went to the Kitchen Aid web site and found a video on how to take a part the mixer. Followed the instructions from the video and it was very easy. The grease in the machine was black so i cleaned it out of the transmission and repack it with hi-heat wheel bearing grease that i got from a auto parts store it took about a 1/2 lb. then put the gasket in and back together and put the o-ring on. Have run for awhile and it is ok. Want to say that these are very well built machine.

Decorative plug at top of mixer fell into the bowl and jammed the mixer stripping gears
Watch U Tube video. Take care to keep track of disassembly. Hard part was to have 4 types of screw drivers to fit the different screw heads. Be sure to clean broken gear clogs out of the grease. Parts select lady was a great help. Download Parts select diagram for extra help. Time and patience!

Attachment hub stopped spinning
Used youtube movies to disassemble the mixer and found that the gear was stripped. I kept the screws in labeled ziploc baggies so I wouldn't forget which screws went where. Once the part arrived, it was very simple to replace the gear. I regreased the mixer and then reassembled. The trickiest part was how greasy everything was! It was also hard to get the pin through the beater hub - I found a video that suggested using a very slim screwdriver to thread the hole before inserting the pin. This was the most involved part replacement I've done on my own, and it was very satisfying to get my mixer back in working order!
