How to Fix a KitchenAid Pro 600 Mixer

Amazing video very informative 😀

What size retaining ring pliers is used. My prongs on mine are too big to go into the grip holes of the ring

This is a perfect instructional video. Clear video, closeups as required, excellent explanations and perfect pacing. Great job, and very helpful. Thank you, Mark.

Excellent how-to video! Appreciate the clear, concise directions, close up shots, and the way Mark tells you what each piece is called so that you know what to order. Parts arrived quickly, and they were high quality. Great to have our mixer working again. We'll be ordering from you from now on!

brilliant - thanks.

I ordered a new standard worm follower gear for my KitchenAid Pro 600. Part #9706529. When I tried to reassemble the worm follower gear onto the planetary shaft the gear will not slide all the way down past the roll pin fitting. Any idea why this might be happening?

Making me look like a hero to my wife! Well done on the video explanations.

What size of retaining ring pliers to buy? What I bought was too big and I want to make sure I buy the right one. Thank you!

Great Video, thanks!
Do you use any kind of solvent to clean the grease out of the gear housing?

Thanks for making this video... It was well made... my only critique is what appears to be a 'forced smile'. It was a tad off putting... but since that was only at the beginning and end and the majority of the content was focused on the mixer repair... not a major issue. Keep up the great work.

Thanks very much... I'm almost there! But I'm stuck with putting back the worm gear--I have the washers and bushings in place and dropped it in, sides of bushings are straight up and down, but when I rotate the fan thing the gears aren't moving together. What am I doing wrong?

This was a comprehensive & easy to follow video that allowed me to replace the gear on my 18 year Kitchenaid! Thank you so much! Looking forward to another 18 years with this mixer!

Mark...thanks so much for this video..I’ve taken my Pro600 apart and would really like to replace the gear housing and all the parts.....Is there a kit that includes all available?

My following gear was badly worn but everything else seemed okay so I just replaced the one. When I put it back together, it made a lot of grinding noises so I took it apart again. Is there any way of telling which parts need replacing other than just visual inspection? I have compared my parts to new ones and there is no discernible difference. Excellent video by the way, I wish everyone else used this as a learning template. Great visual, timing and well rehearsed. If you weren't working from a script, you have a damn good memory!

Thank you so much!! The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I fixed my mixer and saved a ton of money... many thanks!

Thanks for sharing, I am ready to take on this project. I have TWO pro-600 mixers with no spin. I can’t wait to have them both back in action. Ordering the parts now! I’m curious, is this much grease on gears pretty normal? I had no idea it was so important!

I like it, I just found the broken part and ordered it. But very clear , easy to follow. Many thanks

Mark, KitchenAid is running the mixer stops after a grinding noise. I replaced the followup gear and it spins until it stops after that grinding noise. Why? Thanks

Just got done replacing the planetary on my 15 year old Pro600. The video was excellent, the only problem I had was finding a set of ring pliers small enough to remove the snap rings. Three sets later, it went smoothly, taking about 30 minutes. And I am no expert repair lady. Thanks.

I need help to repair one model 6000 hd please help

Gave all the info I needed, worked like a charm.

Great video Thanks!

thanks for this video, I will fixe my mixer

Thanks Marks, I appreciate you getting back to me. It never occurred to me that this might be the issue.

I bought new beaters for an older model, but they will not stay in. I purchased them on line for Mix Master using the serial numbers and product model and they matched up to the old ones. I cannot find any one to repair in my area. Do you have any suggestions?

When my Kitchenaid 600 Mixer suddenly died I thought it was the end of the world and started trying to figure out out how I would ever afford either the repair bill or purchasing a new one! I decided to search online for ideas on what might be wrong with it and landed on your video. I am now proud to say that my mixer is back in one piece and working beautifully. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I can't thank you enough!!!

Hi Mark, my planetary shaft broke in half and mixer stopped rotating, have you ever seen that happen before?

this a great instruction video that I had found after working on our mixer. I had replaced the plastic housing 4 years ago. and should have replaced the gears at the same time but did not. today I replaced the gears all from ereplacement parts. had taken it apart before so knew most of the steps. someone asked what the cost was. I did not replace the planetary shaft but did all gears but the secondary gears. I replaced all the bearing parts. The cost for me was 65. which when you consider the price of a new mixer, it was well worth the price. Thank you for a great video. I saved it so that I can refer to it later.

It may of been asked already but do I need to buy the grease or will a tube of grease from a mechanical shop do. Thank you

Awesome video. Question though I don't know what that unit cost or the prices of the replacement parts which is cheaper to replace

Just bought a mixer for my wife and I'm almost hoping it will break so I can come back to this video and fix it. Great stuff!

Thank you Mark.
This is a great video, I have followed all the instructions and change all the gears in my mixer, the mixer started working/spinning again, but the mixer makes such a loud noise its driving us crazy, before the mixer broke down it was loud, but after the fix forget it, it bad, loud, loud, loud. is there anything I can do to stop this noise?

Mine is Kitchen Aid 550 Pro HD this techiniques will apply yo it too? can i buy the pices for my 550 pro HD or in otehr words will the parts in this mixer fir my 550 pro HD?

This is a great video, it would helpful to have a link to the parts used for the repair. Not just a link to the website. Thanks!

What kind of solvent would you use to remove the existing grease before reassembly?

Watching this video gave me the confidence to try fixing my own mixer, and it worked like a charm!!!! Thank you so much for this clear, easy-to-follow tutorial!! :D

This video made it so easy to fix my mixer and the parts I ordered from amazon. Great job.

Pretty good, simple and clear... Thank you...

I'm having an issue getting my bevel gear back on.... it gets to the point just above where I should put in the pin and it gets stuck... but slides top to that point smoothly....help!

I watched this video and I have spent the last hour and a half trying to get the snap ring off. Now my husband is trying and he's not having much luck either. I would love to get to replacing my worm following gear - the reason I watched the video in the first place - but I am stuck. I have everything I need to do the repair myself but I'm going to have to take the damn mixer to the repair shop just to get the stupid snap ring off.

UPDATE: 2 hours, 2 people & 3 pairs of pliers used at the same freakin' time and the stupid retaining ring is finally off.

Very helpful, thanks for being there for us!

Thank you very much thanks to your very knowledgeable video I fixed my wife's stand kitcheaid mixer.👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am from Brazil, I live in São Paulo and its video was essential to repair my machine, thank you!

Very helpful, thanks.

Why did you replace metal gears with plastic gears?
