Kitchenaid 7 Qt Proline/8 Qt Commercial Motor Swap! Diagnosing and Replacing the DC Powered Motor!

I have a KitchenAid mixer just like this. But mine has become a lot louder! I noticed that the mixer you have disassembled doesn’t have a lot of grease in it. Neither does mine. Could that be why it’s so loud? Please help!

Camera looks really NICE

When put into gear the motor does a short movement and stops immediately. Do you have any idea what could be the culprit?
Also, I am unable to remove the pin holding the planetary, you mentioned that it needs to be aligned, but aligned to what? I tried to look for alignment on the other side, but I never get to a point where I am able to see the other side of the pin.

I must be CRAZY to replace the all 💩💩; for me, better replace the machine and that's the best way

Mr Mixer thank you so much. please stay safe.

Mr. Mixer — do you have a video on how to fix a lever that lowers and raises the bowl on the 8Q commercial mixer?! Need one desperately to help my mom fix her mixer!

It is the same with a 6qt dc motor ang 7 or 8qt dc motor?

Thank You for detailed and informative video!

One question: when comparing COOKING CHEF XL (latest) and TITANIUM CHEF XL (1,700W, old model)

- is the motor the same ?

- is the planetar/reduction mechanical module the same ?

Thank You a lot!

I’m wondering if you could answer a question I’m wondering what the story is on the KitchenAid commercial 6000 HD there seems to be complaints on it. People are saying the bowl jumps off the pens or it just didn’t work. That’s a bummer to hear because I love the look at that bowl. It looks like it would be really great for loading flour into it. That would be awesome. If you could just comment on that particular machine I’d like to know about buying it if I should or shouldn’t.

Great video - what an awful design. Replace the motor if a sensor fails or if needs a new motor brushes. Made my mind wanting a commercial or pro now... Gonna stick to Artisan or buying another brand.

Is that a DC motor?

Ho I'm getting ready to buy a new mixer but after learning so much on your videos I want a DC motor. I wanted the 7 series but how do I tell the difference between the one with DC motor and AC motor?

Hello. Is this the same motor as the 6000 HD?

Very nice video! After unscrewing the motor you can acces some of the gears. Should these be cleaned and regreased?

Thanks for sharing

Great video. If I just need to tighten the three screws that connect the head of the mixer to the stand, obviously needing to remove the motor and control board to access them, would you recommend disconnecting the motor from the transmission, or removing the planetary and taking off the whole drive train?

Fantastic video! Now time for super tech question. We have had one of these for many years. When using the pasta roller attachment, we would get slipping somewhere in the gears/transmission. The machine was well used, so I just decided to replace the whole motor unit (bought from a local appliance parts store, sorry). It worked great right away, and was much quieter. However, maybe the fourth time making pasta, my wife is reporting the same kind of motor slipping.
I called Kitchen-Aid hoping they could tell me what part is most likely to fail. Maybe there's some kind of clutch designed to slip when the torque goes over a certain load. However, their response is to send the unit in to them for diagnosis.

So now I turn to you. Do you have any suggestions for what might be causing this specific pasta roller slipping? I'm a technical and mechanical guy, so I have no problem getting in there and replacing specific gears. I also have the old motor as well, but I never bothered to take it apart to expose the gears and transmission. Thanks in advance!

I am able to move it

I own a marshmallow company. This saves me a ton of money. Thank you for making this video!🤝

Hi! I have a stand mixer Kitchenaid with problems. When I went to a place to fix it they told me that the motor and the gearbox need to be replace and its better to buy a new one than to fix it. I try to find a site on internet to buy the motor and the gear box but I didnt find for my model ( 5ksm7990xbsm ). Can you help me to find what i need, please?

Great video! I have a question… does the motor need to be replaced if the gears are the issue? When I try to put on gear 2,4,6 there is a clicking sound and it doesn’t work. But when on 8 and 10 after paying with it back and forth. It randomly works in high speed.

What should I do? What part do I need to replace?

Thank you in advance!

Nice job on your videos. Will you be doing a regrease video for the Proline 7Q?

Is this the same motor that’s is in the 7580?

I have to replace the AC motor in my 5 quart bowl lift KitchenAid mixer. Do you know if I can replace it with the DC pro line motor? I realize the electronics likely have to be replaced as well, I’m just wondering if the housing has the mount holes in the correct position for the pro line motor and will accommodate the pro line motor? Thanks!

Hey, great channel and info! I just purchased a pro line and started noticing after a few uses that when kneading dough there is a clicking sound. I saw you mention elsewhere (reddit) that this is normal because of a loose fitting worm gear inside. Is there anyway to fix this? I've noticed some people with a pro like don't have this issue but a lot do. Thanks for any info.

I love knowing how my stuff is built! Long time wrench turner, but an issue clipped my wings. I lived vicariously thru you! Ty

Thank you for being awesome, just fixed and regreased my commercial 8qt using this video!

Almost exactly my model, yay! So needed b3cause I wasn't sure about that first clip in the back. Wife used a meat grinder attachment to grind tilapia.... so now it smells like fish 😢

Dear friend, thank you for the videos and the instructions. I'm writing from Greece. I have recently purchased the same silver lift bowl mixer. The noise when working was not even and i have opened only the front small door for the planetary movements. The grease on the gears was like glue. It was dryed and from white it was yellow. From the front cover through the holes i could see the multiple gears. I did'n touch that assembly, but i used a grease lithium sprey to grease them. The same thing with the big front gears and planetary system. On the motor writes made in Vietnam and to the external band made in the USA. Not fair. Maybe the Law gives the company the right to do so, but for me it is unfair. Thank you once more for the detailed videos. I couldn't fix it without your help.

I recently inherited a fairly new albeit well used GE stand mixer that I know needs to be cleaned and tuned up. Is this something I could send your way possibly?

Is the hall effect sensor available as a replacement part or do I have to replace the entire control board ?

My artisan mini is just like this and I’m trying to figure out how to do a cleaning / re greasing but I have had no luck finding any videos online to help. Would the gears in the transmission need to be cleaned and re greased ?

So is the KSM7581 7-quart the same internally as the KSM7586 7-quart Pro Line? Thanks for a great video! 🧡

Mr Mixer - you don't even realise how awesome and helpful you are. May the universe bless you and your family!

Those instructions also apply to the Professional 6000 HD from Costco.

Awesome job ! Glad to see you're back "on-line" and making videos following your "unplanned hiatus"......hope all's well !

Do you consult on mixer repairs? I've got an old one that I can't get reassembled and none of the diagrams I can find are clear enough from the angle I need

What ever happened after the tornado?

Since you know the sun gear, why not just call the gearbox using its name "planetary gearbox"? The trident is the planet gear shaft, and the sleeve also has gear and is called the ring gear, all pretty intuitive names.

Man this was the video I have been looking for all day!!! Keep it up brother!! Road to 20mili!

Awsome video brother I just pick one for 80 bucks man your a life saver!!

I love this video! My 7 qt has the beater shaft dropping down when run it. I think its called that, 😅 the part that holds the paddle. Can you please do a video on fixing that? Thank you so much for all of your videos!!

Good video!
