Kenwood KM300 Chef Stand Mixer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I am having this problem - I know it's a twist and twist off thing of course as I've used it many times. But now twisting it off is not working and I need to wash it!!! Can't believe this of all things has gone wrong, never mind anything electronic!

Having done it the hard way (!) it is dead easy. All you need is a small screwdriver or similar, approx 2mm by 1mm in cross section. Looking from outside the mixer, where the power lead enters the main body, between the rectangular lead casing and the socket it enters, there is a small rectangular cutout (top right). Push your screwdriver in around 15mm, and then withdraw the lead housing with it - the screwdriver pushes the latch aside, hence you need to remove both as one! With luck, and a wiggle or two, that should be it.

the solution its change the capacitor or triac, normaly problems in models A701 or A901 old motors

how to videos

1) remove the front power outlet of the mixer head. 2) look for a notch in either the top edge or the bottom edge of the casting. (hole)3) Guide Pin on 9xx accessories is at the top of the connecting shaft. 4) if notch and pin point in the same direction, accessory will usually fit (9xx acc's point up and 7xx acc's point down)

The planetary gear housing is filled with grease. Seeing oil come out would indicate that grease has started to or has completely broken down. Take the planetary apart (One nut and a clip), clean out the old grease and liberally repack with a food grade grease something like PTFE Super Lube .

Hi Juliet,I'm trying to source the manual from Kenwood. If you provide me with your e-mail address I can pass it on to you, Fixya doesn't seem to have the facility to attach documents to solutions.The attachments are available at these links:http://www.4kenwood.co.uk/cgi-bin/search.pl?query=Kenwood%20KM230&brand=Kenwood&model=KM230&path=345550&model_pre=KM230&model_ref=440356&brand_ref=90http://www.buyspares.co.uk/kenwood/kenwood-major/km230/catalogue.pl?shop=kenwood&path=345550&model_ref=440356

Here's how to fix the stuck implement problem:The implements each have adjustable heights. to adjust the height you need to loosen the bolt at the top with a 14mm spanner. If the bolt was loose when it was being used then it can get too short and not leave enough clearance between the bolt and the machine in order to push up and turn to release the implement. If this happens take the open ended spanner, grasp the implement and rotate the spanner clockwise (when looking up at the machine from below. Once the nut is loose rotate the implement until there is enough clearance to remove it normally.
