Planetary housing fell off
BRUCE, sorry for the initial solution... I had a total brain cramp of what you were describing and after reflecting on your original problem and then seeing your second entry realized what happened. You are absolutely correct that the planetary shaft is press fit onto the planetary housing. For whatever reason, I overlooked that.
I cannot explain why it the housing came of the shaft, but suspect that vibrations during its use caused the fitting to loosen and the planetary housing to fall off.
You have two options. Option #1) Purchase a new planetary assembly that includes the agitator shaft, which will run between $35~$57, plus S&H depending on the vendor or Option #2) try to reattach the planetary housing back onto planetary shaft. (BTW, if you reorder the planetary use the part number from your Parts List manual for your particular color and model, not the 9078036 number you found on the housing)
I suspect the planetary housing’s spline well has already been weakened and there may be micro-cracking which is not clearly evident so the refitting may or may not work. Of course it may be worth trying and fit back together without any problems.
Since it will be difficult to get good mechanical advantage by hitting the planetary housing back onto the planetary shaft while the mixer is upright, you will need to remove the planetary shaft from the transmission housing before you attempt to hammer the shaft back onto the planetary housing.
If you attempt to refit the planetary shaft back to its housing, place the housing on a piece of soft wood to protect the enamel paint before you start to hammer the shaft. Also use a piece of wood on the top of the shaft so you don’t accidentally damage the top of the shaft with your hammer. Good luck. I hope this solution was more helpful than my first one. – hslincoln, Burke, VA -
When I raise the bowl
the planetary (the part that spins) probably has dropped down slightly due the part separating from the vertical shaft. this will cause your beater to drop as well; and, contact the bowl. you can try to tap the center of the planetary with a rubber mallet and see if you can close the separation.
I cannot raise the bowl enough for the batter to
There's an adjustment screw as shown in the picture.

Screwing this screw clockwise will raise up the bowl so the mixer paddle reaches closer to the bottom. Don't go too far, the paddle will start hitting the bowl.
No power sometimes
hi
thank you for using Fixa
i thing you have some loose conaction chack your power code and internal conaction
The handle will not allow me to raise the bowl to make contact
Looking at the following parts diagram:
http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Repair%20Part%20List%20-%20W10157992.pdfYou can see the linkage on page 6. Turning the crank handle #22 counter clockwise rotates the link #18, which is attached, which pulls on the rod #11. There is a spring clip #10 on the rod which sometimes comes off making the linkage bind. Make sure it is in place by turning the mixer on its side and looking up inside the base.
If it is in place then spray a small amount of lubricant on the linkage to lubricate all of the moving parts.
Also put a small amount of lubricant on the sliding member #7 where it slides against the stand section #15.
Note: Don't try to move the crank lever when the mixer is on its side since it will bind. It requires gravity to pull the sliding part down, and with it on its side the sliding part will not move downward thus binding up the linkage.
I have a KitchenAid 600 professional stand mixer.
It is a matter of overheating. I have used the same mixer for 8-10 minutes, then put an ice pack on the gear head. The problem is that they cheapened the gearhead in the newer models by using plastic gears. The older ones with metal gears didn't have the same problem, however they put the warning on all models to cover their butts . . . .Just fill a zip lock bag with ice and lay it on top of the gearhead before and during use and you can runit longer without overheating and melting the gears.

It sounds like you have lost some teeth from your worm gear. This usually happens when the mixer has been overloaded. The teeth on the worm gear are designed to fail first to prevent more serious damage. To replace the part you will need to open the head on your mixer. The gears are at the front of the mixer packed in grease. It should be obvious that the worm gear has broken once the head is open. If it is not the worm gear, with the head open it should be easy to spot the problem. The gears are available as spare parts from several places on the internet. search for "kitchenaid worm gear"
Bowl can't be lifted
I think if you look at the bracket that rises as you turn the bowl, you will see that it is supposed to "tighten up" as it lifts against the stationary "rail" that is part of the column. If it is too tight to go up all the way, see if a little candle wax or a a dop of light machine oil applied to the "rail" will overcome the excess tightness.

Hi REEDKL, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Based on your mixer’s symptoms, my first thought is that your mixer’s internal controller assembly (the speed knob), has gone bad. The inspection and troubleshooting of the control assembly is something you can do yourself, particularly if your mixer is out of warranty. Just be sure to have the correct Part List manual around when you start to disassemble your mixer.
If you're lacking one, you can download it from the KA website. Click on Customer Care>Locate Manuals & Guides> Enter the 6 character model number, in this case, KP26M1, and then select the last file: KP2671XWH3.pdf (325.07 KB) that appear under Parts List (21). Check to see that it matches your mixer model.
Turn to page 4, Case, Gearing and Planetary Assembly and locate Illus. #8, Control Assembly. This is what you’re looking for when you get the top (Illus. #1) off the mixer head.
First check to see if any of the connections have come loose. If everything looks tight then you probably need to replace it. Unfortunately the whole controller assembly is on a little PC board filled with resistors, capacitors and diodes, which was not meant to be 'home fixed' and where my ‘electronic expertise' ends. A local small appliance repair shop should be able to determine if the controller assembly is functioning properly or not, or you can just order replacement parts without the testing.
Although you don’t need to get further inside your mixer to make this repair, here are some links to several excellent websites that detail the disassembling/reassembly of a KA Mixer that you might want to keep in your ‘toolbox’, should you have to delve inside your mixer in the future. The mixers displayed in the links may be different than your KA model, but the principles are the same.
Between these three websites and their excellent pictures and descriptions and your Parts List manual, you should now be able replace any part to your KA mixer.
If you feel this repair is beyond your capability, then I would seek out a local small appliance repair shop in your area. KA Customer Care can give you names of local KA authorized repair shops in your area, but you can also do an online search to supplement what KA may provide you. Call to explain your circumstances and find out their hourly rate and get an estimate of what they think it would cost to repair your mixer. Also, always obtain three or more estimates – do some comparison shopping. Good luck and have fun. I hope this helps. Howard, Burke, VA
