Einleitung

This guide will provide a detailed step-by-step instructions on how to replace the power cord for the KitchenAid Commercial 8qt Mixer.

    • Before starting ANY repair/disassembly of the mixer, make sure it is fully unplugged from the electrical outlet.

    • If this mixer is being used in a commercial environment, a LOTO tag can be affixed via the hole on one of the prongs on the mains plug to prevent accidental activation.

    • The speed/motor control assembly contains capacitors which can retain their charge for an indefinite amount of time. These capacitors can present a significant and potentially fatal shock hazard.

    • Place a couple dish towels or other soft materials on the base to protect it from any potential impact.

    • Disconnect the planetary from the motor drive shaft by removing the retaining pin (circled in yellow). You can do this with a hammer and either a pin punch or a Torx T15 screwdriver. Simply hammer the punch/screwdriver on the pin until it comes out the other side.

    • If the planetary assembly doesn't fall out, you might have to give it a firm pull straight down to remove it.

    • Remove the four screws (circled in yellow, two on each side) using a #2 Philips Screwdriver

    • Remove the motor housing by lifting it straight up.

    • Depending on the generation of your motor it might have a different coloration than the one in the picture (e.g. older models were all silver).

    • There are two motor support brackets: one in front, one back (shown in the first image)

    • Each bracket is attached to the motor by two screws (one on each side).

    • Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws (circled in yellow in the second and third images) which attach the two motor support brackets.

    • Take care to place your hand under the support bracket when removing the second screw as they will fall out and could damage the finish.
