worn gear causing slippage under load
removed cover. Removed cover over gears. Used lock washer pliers to remove lock washer. Took out gears. Cleaned metal shavings from old gear and grease. Reassembled using new gear. Took about 15 minutes and saved $$ over sending mixer out for the repair.

Mixer wouldn't slow down
I unplugged the mixer, then I removed the Phillips screw holding the beauty ring, then removed the 4 screws that hold the motor housing together. I removed the housing top, and unscrewed the speed control switch. I marked each one of the connectors of the switch (there are 4) 1-4 then disconnected the speed sensor from the switch and the motor. Replaced the new sensor and connected that to the new speed control switch. reconnected the connectors to the terminals I took them from ( 1 - 4 ) screwed it into place. replaced the top motor housing, I screwed that back with the four screws. replaced the beauty ring and screw. plugged it in and tested it and it was like new

Worn worm gear
The KitchenAid is "old school" in that it is held together with simple (but very stout) bolts and screws. I removed about 10 such fasteners, slipped off the gear retainer, and pulled it out. On Sunday, a very nice customer service rep helped me order the right part, but I did the rest on line in a matter of seconds. It shipped on Monday and arrived on Wednesday. Took about 10 minutes to put everything back. I REALLY WISH everything was this easy in 2012!!!

Trouble with switch
removed top casing, removed old switch and sensor,and replaced with new ones. It was just a matter of a half dozen screws and unpluging 4 or 5 wires and then reversing the process. Couldn't be easier. thank you

Mixer goes full speed even when on low setting.
Removed one screw to remove deco band around mixer body. Removed four screws under band to remove mixer top. Removed two screws holding switch. Removed wires one at a time putting them in the same position on the new switch. Re-attached switch, mixer top, and deco band. Works perfectly.
