How To: Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Maytag Mixer Speed Control Plate WPW10119326

Never mind, discovered back plate was moving slightly. Took speed plate off and tighten the nuts. Seems ok now.

Mixer making a very loud, high pitched noise. When I press against top of speed plate the sound stops. Have just re-greased and noise persists. Any ideas?

En français svp

Do replacement speed control boards come with the locking plate

What other possibilities are there for no power? I replaced both boards and still have no power to mixer. Any help woulb be appreciated, the mixer i am trying to fix is a keepsake from my best friends late mother and i would love to get it running again.

everything was put back correctly, all new parts, has power, won't turn on!!!

The pin on the base part of mine is coming out all the time. Why and how to fix it ? Mine is pretty new.

Thank you for this tutorial. You saved me $$$$$. I fixed my 45 year old Kitchenaid stand mixer. Took it step by step. Works great now.

Muy básico los videos que pasan, sería bueno que pasaran cómo reparar la placa electrónica con sus respectivos circuitos...eso sería interesante...

Thank you. Found it very helpful, especially as there weren't many videos specific to this. I was able to get away with just tightening the screw for the speed lever fix. All went pretty smooth until I was replacing the rear cover and pinched the power wire, shorting out the machine! That led to another video, trip to Harbor Freight, and wire repair. All is well now. Needless to say, be careful tucking the wires back in and putting on the plate.

First off , THANKS for this video. It has helped many of us . Secondly, should I be able to measure some value of ohms from the motor winding while I'm working on the control plate? Right now I get open circuit from the TWO motor leads. Thanks

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I needed this to help me replace the control plate on my Artisan mixer. I also replaced the board while I was at it. Now my mixer works just like it supposed to. I couldn’t have done it without this tutorial, thank you!!!

Is there a thermal fuse.. my mixer doesn't do anything.. what do I check first before buying parts?

My mother's mixer was acting up. She got it back in about 1984 and was just about to toss it. She was really upset. It kept shocking her and then finally wouldn't even run. I took the back cover off and found that the motor control plate was filthy. I cleaned it with an old tooth brush. Then I removed the brushes and blew out the brush holders. I put the brushes back in and tried it out. It started running. It runs through all the settings now. It does sound kind of loud. It may need the grease changed. Not bad for a mixer that is over 40 years old. I wonder why it has worked so well and lasted so long. Oh. It says that it was made in Ohio. Now I understand.

brushes are good contact is touching still wont turn on any suggestions

a guy on tiktok diagnosed my problem for me... but shipping the unit to him in Tennessee was really expensive ... so I called a shop here in carlsbad and over the phone he quoted me $200. I found the part on Amazon for $16 and your video .... and I have my machine working again While I understand that the Carlsbad guy has rent to pay.... $200 is completely unreasonable for a 5 minute fix and a $16 part. I have to wonder how many people have thrown their units out because of quotes like this. Had he quoted me $50 or $75 I probably would have paid it and not thought twice about it
thank you for your helpful video! (im off to make sausage now)

How to convert 110v mixer to 220v

Really good, helped me to fix my wife's KitchenAid. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for this video 😭 you saved my kitchenaide!

I used this procedure to setup my machine. Thank you to share your knowledge to rest of the world. God bless you.

Hi, thank you for your video. I’ve fixed my KitchenAid Heavy Duty (uk) because of your video. Can I ask, are the RPM’s the same in the UK as they are in the USA? I cleaned my speed control plate with 70% alcohol as it had managed to get gunk on the contact plate areas and with a little re-adjustment all seems well to what it was and back to normal.

Try fixing a Kitchenaid mixer in the UK, you can't find spares anywhere. I had a similar problem with the speed control arm slipping back and not switching off. I discovered it was the flat spring that goes under the lever was missing and when I applied tension to the lever it stayed in the stop position. The problem is trying to find spares, I wanted a new gasket but couldn't find anything beyond mixing blades and bowls.

Would a faulty speed control plate to cause the mixer to always be on

That was great: solved my problem. I had been fumbling about with the screws back there trying to figure something out; and, my mixer would not work anymore. Well, runs like a charm, now! Thank you very much!! :)

After replacing this part my mixer keeps buzzing when turned off.

Where do I buy a locking plate?

My mixer was running intermittently up to speed 6, and would not start below 6 unless you moved the speed control to max and then slow it down. It was suggested that I needed a new speed control. Taking the rear cover off and observing the contacts I discovered the main contact was not always making contacting. You could see small arcs across the contacts , especially in the lower speed range. Before the new control as suggested I slightly bent the contact on the control board upward to make better contact and the mixer runs just as new. My experience, your may be different.

great video and understandable

Would be. Ice to see what steps you took to actually troubleshoot out the fuse and components—where to ohm amd the like.

Hi, I was working on this and the spring shot back into the mixer. How do I hook it back on?

Quick question. Is it possible to test the motor by connecting the line and neutral wires directly to the red and white wires on the motor, thus bypassing the phase and control plate? I have a dead machine and not sure what to buy? I have checked the brushes and OHM tested the cord, all good.

Which is thread? 3.3L stand mixer thumb screw.

I didn’t unplug it before taking the brushes off and there was contact with the outside of the mixer. There was a big spark. Did I just blow the motor? I originally took it apart to replace worm gear. Which I did successfully but now it won’t run. I could hear the motor running before but not anymore

Mine works except in the first or lowest speed. Is it an adjustment or bad plate

Great video, but holy crap, you should remind people to unplug the machine when adjusting the speed. That’s live mains voltage in those wires back there!

Hi teacher. I have a mixer, the same as without load, it works perfectly well, but when I put it to work making pizza dough, for example, after a short time of work, it begins to have ups and downs in speed, and when placing it on high it does not suffer any change. reducing the speed from top to bottom it stops at 4 and you have to keep going down to turn on

Great video - thanks a lot. Helped me mount the speed control plate and adjust the speeds to their proper setting.

Are the screws with springs for adjustments for speed before replacing?
It's stuck on one speed.

Es q no conocen otra marca de batidora q sea diferente? O es q son tan limitados? Existen baterías de mayor capacidad y diferentes sistemas de trabajo y reparación sean mas creativos

Hi, very good video, I have a kitchenaid bought in the USA but I live in a country with 220V, therefore I use it with a transformer.
Now I have a problem, it only works at maximum speed 10. What do you think is the problem? If necessary, where can I order the parts ?
It's a Kitchenaid, Super Heavy Duty model : KSM50HDPBK.
Thank you in advance

Any videos on how to fix the spring if it popped out?

Excelente !!!
Muchas Gracias!!!

Wife's mixer is working again. Much appreciated!!!!!!

My setting 1 is off how many revolutions should be on setting 1 & so on ?

This is a great tutorial, but I thought I'd share my experience. Our stand mixer suddenly stopped working and tripped the GFI circuit in our kitchen outlet. Once we confirmed that the outlets were working, the stand mixer still wouldn't start. So I searched the internet and found this tutorial. However, the problem wasn't with this part. The problem was with the carbon brushes located on each side of the main housing (the big black regular screw heads). I took these out and found them to be quite dirty. I brushed off the residue and reinserted the brushes and the machine worked. You have to be careful, the brushes are rectangular pegs, but one side is chamfered at a 45 degree angle. Pay careful attention which direction the angled side is facing when you pull it out. It has to go back the same way. The other side will be the opposite. For example, the right side brush had the angled side pointed in the upper left corner, the left side was pointed in the lower right corner. Anyways, check and clean your brushes first. If that doesn't fix it, then give this part a try. Hope this helps!

Thnks very helpfull, itn worked for me. The only problem is I cant reach 15 reps in 15 seconds, I tried to adjust de screw but it only get 12.

this " How To" sure beats the hell out getting a bigger hamm er. Thanks
