Wasn't sure where to post this, but since I'm trying to save money doing this myself, I thought here would be appropriate.
But.......it may end up costing me more to try to figure it out myself!
My mixer began making funky noises after I ground roasts into hamburger and all the speed settings were pretty much the same.....really fast. There's some great You Tube videos about fixing these, so I started there.
Well actually, I started before that by replacing the governor........but that didn't fix the problem.
So my next guess was going to be the speed control plate and the phase boards (whatever the heck that is, but it has something to do with the speed).
One company that puts out some great videos also answers your questions.......so I've been emailing him back and forth. I think he's getting frustrated with me though. haha
Well, I thought I was unscrewing a screw to take the top off, and it was something important that has to do with the motor "brushes" and I pulled something out I wasn't supposed to. Now I have to pull everything out of the entire mixer to repair this mistake. How on earth did anyone even invent this??
I hope I can do this and it doesn't cost more than a repair shop would have charged.
Anyone ever repair their KitchenAid stand mixer?
Actually, after I replaced the governor, I found out there were 3 speed-adjusting screws that I didn't know about.........so I may have caused myself a big mess. Oh well. I'm in-between puzzles, so this will be my "entertainment"
for awhile.
