KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus & Pro 600 Re-Grease and Gear Replacement Guide: Pt 1/2

This was incredibly helpful at diagnosing and repairing my 20 year old pro model. Thank you!!!

How do you get that ring back on?! Need the specific tool?

Thank you

Does this video apply to the KSM5 (bowl lift 1996 model)?

A good pair of snap ring pliers that fits the ring properly will make it even easier than this video shows, because you simply expand the ring until it slides right up the shaft and off. Make sure you have the towel at the top, because he's right they will go flying into the next county! Lol

On this you can use either bent tip or straight tip snap ring pliers, but it takes pretty small tips.

Some you can get with interchangeable tips, and they usually have something small enough for these, but make sure it's a decent pair, a lot of the cheap ones have misaligned or badly formed tips.

This person harasses and scams people

where is the link to part 2

Looks like you really know this mixer inside out. I have the same one as your gray 600. I was mixing something and not watching and the mixer jumped off my counter. The 3 prong plug ripped out. I turned off the electric and pulled out the grounding prong still in outlet. So now I need to replace the cord. Do you have any video or advice on that. I pulled off the housing and I don't really know what to do. Can you help me???

I loved your video. My machine is now spinning again but now it is so loud. Any idea why?

👏👏

What material is the chassis of the Kitchenaid Professional 600 made of?



Thank you for helping me become a Mother’s Day hero today!! I watched the video and ordered the kit a few weeks before Mother’s Day today!!

Removing lock ring is stupidly hard wtf

Sure glad I found this! Had to stop and run to town for the snap ring pliers but hey, I've got em for next time!

Hey Mr. Mixer! Would you be able to do some videos on the Proline 7qt KSM7581? Seems like you don’t have really any videos on that model and I’m curious to see what maintenance is like on that model and whether the spring kit/snap ring fits?

Mr. Mixer, you wouldn't happen to know what the last model of 6 Qt KitchenAid mixer was that didn't have a chip board, would you? I'm interested to find a model like the 600 (in capacity and power) that doesn't have any kind of computer board.

What chemical can I use to clean the gears? I'm looking for something that will dissolve the OEM grease. Brake cleaner? Gas? Alcohol?

Excellent video, thank you! 👍

Love the videos. High recommend this addition to future re-greasing tutorials: when introducing tools, please include paper towels and alcohol (70%). I was following a video yesterday and cleaning while I was watching and when you introduced the alcohol, I started using it. It was a game changer. Would have been good to know earlier in the process while I was cleaning other areas of the mixer.
Tanks for all the info!

Mr. Mixer is amazing. He truly knows his stuff. I am so happy I found his video. HIs step by step instructions are perfect. Thank you for saving my mixer!!

I replaced the worm gear assembly in K45sswh , the dry run is ok but as soon as I load the dough, the nylon gear breaks

I have a Kenmore mixer, it works for 5 minutes and then it turns off, is it a problem with the old grease transmission? for overheating? Thank you, I'm from Honduras.

Most EXCELLENT video. Thank you. Question: I just purchased a KV25G0X - "Professional 5 Plus" - and the attachment has a disturbing amount of play, and I'm wondering how much is allowable, before I send it somewhere (are y'all an authorized warranty repair location ?). I just wonder, how is this possible with a brand new machine (at least, just out of the box, and run no-load).

Hi do you repair Kitchen aide stand mixers?
If so how do I send mine to you
Thank you

Thank you for taking time to make such a helpful tutorial. You do a nice job of explaining the process.

I believe my model has a circular metal piece that goes on the shaft above that part. that is really hard to take off. Have you ever seen a model like that?

You're missing a key part of repairing / rebuilding these mixers.

Great Video... I got my 600 torn apart and diagnosed to need a Worm Follower Gear, Gasket & Grease... I should be up and running as soon as I get parts transported from you to me! Thanks for the Thorough Video!

I think my question is answered, but the Professional 5 plus has all metal gears correct?

If the pin above the follower-gear is partially sheared, it will NOT be easy to get out and will need a punch.

How much to clean and fix older model kitchen aid

Just have to say thank you! I was regreasing and putting a new gasket on my mothers mixer and was having difficulty when putting it back together, thought I had parts in the wrong area only to realize that I put a whole bunch of grease in the hole for the rod! Ooops

Awesome video! Thanks for showing me how to clean the grease out. Most videos I viewed pulls the gears out, and then jumps to clean gears. And thanks for explaining that the C-clip can actually fly off if you're not careful. I didn't realize how tight that was. Thanks for the details all around.

Thank you for the easy-to-follow video! Our mixer is once again running smoothly.

I'm in EUA, but I Live in other country and need to buy The gear peaces, I world like to Know the série numbers them. THANKS FOR YOUR ATENTION!

Hi, please, do you know the parte numbers of gears? I can to change them, thank you so much!

Mr. Mixer, I need your help!!! I've got a Professional 6000 ( I think that's right) kitchenaid mixer. It's in Asia. So I'm trying to fix it myself when I return to Asia. I think I need the Motherboard replaced... not sure. Can you direct me to where I can buy this part?? the model is KSM6573CER. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Had to call Mr. Mixer after a tab broke off my plastic housing. He was super helpful! Thanks again!

Great video, I just purchased a new Professional 5 Plus machine and there's a 2 second lag when turning on the mixer...Is this normal? Also, it has a slight grinding noise? should I get it replaced?

I have a 45SS and stop working suddenly,I buy it second hand,but Which models include the thermal fuse??,Mine must have one???,thank you very very much my friend!!!👍

Hey Zach, my tiktok was shut down for some reason, so I can'tDM you. But I need to replace the gear under the pin. What is it called? No worries, I'll order it from you 😁 But I expect a drawing this time!

Hey Lovely Mr Mixer! Could you go ahead and stop saying go ahead in every sentence? This Americanism tortures my untrained European ears to death. Keep on a great work! Yours, sincerely.

Hello! Thanks so much for your help. I have purchased a few components from you in the past , and your videos have been super helpful. Unfortunately I keep having issues and maybe you had some insight? It seems like whenever I knead anything in my mixer, something pops loose and the gears detatch. I believe that the small ring clip keeps slipping out of the slot somehow. Its happened 3 times and is getting to be quite the process to have to keep taking this apart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I Absolutely love your videos. They are quite descriptive. One question I have; you show the wear on the worm follower gear and it obviously needs to be replaced, but how often would you say that You've had to change the worm gear itself? basically I'm going to be re greasing a 600 pro series and I want to get a bit of a feel on how imperative it would be to order this gear as well. Thanks so much for your help.

My kitchenAid 6 professional's head is separating from the base. HELP! It's 20 yrs old and works great except for this issue. Can you help?

Oh my god removing that snap ring was annoying, can't believe that was the most difficult part. Mine was not budging

add that part 2 link in your description

Where can I buy the thermal fuse?

Is there a specific kind of grease to use? Sorry if I missed you say it in the video.
