KA15E1X-0 KitchenAid Mixer - Instructions

cant be any more easy honestly the hardest part is taking the wires off the old board, mine were on there very well so I used a pair of needle nose pliers to remove them CARFULLY ! other than that this repair is.. the silver "beauty ring" has a screw on the back of the mixer remove, then there are four screws around the top cover plate remove, then the 2 screws that hold down the speed control remove. STOP ! make sure to lable each wire BEFORE removing from the old speed control !! POOF then put on the new one and put your mixer back togather your done.

you guys are great I ordered one day and the next day the wire whip was delivered!!!! Great job,thank you. Joanne

Remove the top cover. Loosen the circuit board and remove the gear case. Remove the retaining clip on the gear shaft and remove the gears. Clean the old grease out and relube. reassemble in reverse order . Not a bad job at all.

after numerous calls to kitchen aide and ka repair centers - i decided that their remedy was to sell me a new or refurbished model -- so i decided to try the repair myself - why not - the appliance didn't function and their fix again was close to the price of a new one --- the fix - remove the band (small screw in back --- 4 screws hold on the top of the mixer - remove them and pull off the top -- the gears are at the front -- four screws hold the top in place- remove them and pull off the cover -- this is where it gets interesting - it's a little messy with the grease -- but clean out as much as possible --
the toughest part is then removing the retaining clip --- (a tool is avail at numerous hardware stores that will make it a bit easier about $20. ) but pry the clip up and slide off top -- remove gear - clean out completely - remove all old grindings -- replace gears -- add grease and reverse order... great fix -- even with purchase of pliers it was cheaper than any offer from kitchen aide....

Very happy to find that the new gear housing was metal, not plastic. The whole problem was poor design of plastic to hold metal gears. Removed housing held down by four screws, removed two gears that were damaged. Retaining ring was difficult to remove from retaining slot. New gears replaced the old ones, new retaining ring put in place, new grease packed into all gearing, new stronger metal housing put in place and the Kitchenaid industrial mixer is better than new. Very happy with the parts I purchased.

Removed the lid of the mixer. Cleaned all grease and removed the worm gear. Installed new gear and packed with new grease Installed lid and checked worked perfect. Easy repair.

Looked up part replacement, ordered on line. Found part easily and waited anxiously for new part. I wanted to make cookies for the holiday season. Received part quickly, opened up packaging, put on mixer and I was back in business. Thanks so much for an easy fix. I also was pleasantly surprised at how cheap the replacement part was. Thank you, thank you for allowing me to get a new part with ease and continue to use my Kitchen Aid mixer.

I took all the grease out of the top of the mixer. Saw that the gear was worn. When the new parts came I put as much grease in as was in before. Put it back together and it worked like a champ.

The parts I received from PartSelect were higher quality than the original parts. The bevel gear and housing were originally plastic. The new ones are solid metal. The machine sounds and runs better than it ever did. The drawings from the website made this really easy. This will be my first choise for parts from now on.

per e.g. and put cover on and secured screws. Pluged in unit turned it on and it worked for 25 secs then went full speed and shut down.. repeat this several times got same results. Put old unit back in and it worked for 2 days then same results. I now suspect coil on shaft is defective. I'll order that and see. Unless some one knows of another problem.

the hardest part is removing the retaining ring (didn't buy pliers)after that it is very easy, remove ring, top gear, center pin, bottom gear,worm gear(was removed first)the grease is pretty nasty,clean off the old grease and put it all back the way it came apart,with new grease.And then PRAY !!!!!!! THANK YOU PARTS SELECT for your wonder smart staff.

Took the old feet (5) off and put new on the Kitchen Aide, looks great. Stands high and your assistance on the phone, was so appreciated.

I removed the old screw with a hand tool to avoid injuring my hand. I then used my hand to install the new screw. Piece of cake. Ordering from Part Select was was a breeze. The only minor issue was the part cost $4.33 and shipping was $7.25.

Took off cover, marked leads, unscrewed two screws and replaced circuit board (speed swith unit). This one was really easy.

1) Unplug power cord from outlet.
2) Remove #2 Phillips screw from metal band at the back of the mixer.
3) Remove band and set aside.
4) Remove 4 #2 Phillips screws that connect top of mixer housing with bottom.
5) Gently pry up on top housing to remove.
6) Remove two screws hold original speed board in place.
7) Old board and new board may have board components in different locations.
8) Lugs are marked Motor 1, Motor 2, Line 1 and Line 2.
9) One at a time move a lead from old board to new, making certain you match the leads up to the printing on the board. e.g.; Motor 1 must go to Motor 1.
10) When all leads are moved install new board with the two screws.
11) Put top back on and install four screws.
12) Clean and install stainless steel band.
13) Plug in and bump start to check for proper operation.
