Mixer speed control was not connecting properly.
Found a kitchen aid repair video. Found your site for the part I needed. The connections were not like what the video showed but there were enough connector symbols that I was able to understand where they needed to connect. Marking the connections helped for making the new connections when the new circuit board came.

Speed control would go from a "mix" setting 1 to a whip setting "10" by itself.
When I ordered a replacement assembly, I was sent a "new" replacement. As I had read up on your site to number the 5 wires BEFORE I removed them, this was a great idea. The new assembly was wired differently than the original board. Although no install instructions came with the new part, it was just a matter of connecting the NUMBERED wires to the new configuration. The first time I fired it up after plugging everything in, nothing happened! I removed all the plug-in wires and reinstalled to ensure I had not gotten a tight connection because of the plastic covers over the end connectors. On my second try, everything worked as advertised! VIOLA!!!! It was a bit tough because of the tight spaces within the motor housing and the new wire routing. Just take pictures of the area BEFORE you disconnect anything and you should do o.k., since I did. 20 minutes.
