I read several stories online explaining that this was a problem with a speed sensor. In order to change the part I removed the motor cover (required removing 3 or 4 screws) and simply unplugged the old sensor from the speed control board and plugged the new one in. Took very little time and minimal effort. Mixer now runs like it did when it was new and cost much less than replacing the entire appliance.

1. Removed the silver name band that encircles the mixer head by removing one philips screw at the rear of the head. 2. There are four philips head screws under the band. 3. Remove the four screws and lift the top half of the head from the machine. 4. Looking at the rear of the machine, the speed control is to the right (identify by the speed control knob. 5. Remove the two screws (philips) on each side of the speed control assembly. 6. Lift the speed control from the machine and let it hang by the connecting wires. 7. One at a time, remove the plugs that are connected to the speed control module and place then in the same location as the new part. 8. Set the old control aside. 9. Set the new controller in place and secure with the two philips screws removed during disassembly (note: do not over-tighten the screws as the tabs on the controller are plastic and can break if over-tightened). 10. Replace the cover and replace the four screws holding the cover in place and tighten securely. 11. Replace the beauty name place and tighten in place. This whole process took about 6 minutes from start to finish. The mixer now works like new.

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.

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.

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

Unscrewed stainless steel Kitchenaid band, removed screws holding down the main housing to get to the speed control panel. Removed two screws from to release the speed control panel, replaced the panel with new part, and replaced all the screws to the main housing, and stainless steel band and it worked like new. So easy, and it only took about 15 minutes to repair.

Unplugged unit. Took top housing off of mixer (half dozen small screws). Disconnected speed control circuit card from five wiring connections. Removed card from mixer chassis (two screws). When new part came (the next day) I reversed the procedure in about 5 minutes and had a working mixer! Thanks.

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.

I carefully removed the cover of my mixer. I first made sure that all of my part numbers corresponded, then I labeled the 5 wires that needed to be disconnected. I then disconnected the wires, removed the two screws holding the part in place, switched out the old for new, reconnected all of my wires. Mades sure everything looked tight, and put my cover back on. Works like a charm. I cried because what I really thought was going to be a $200+ fix, ended up costing me less than $50! And it was so easy.
