KitchenAid speed controller replacement
When the mixer only runs flat out, ignores the speed dial, or will not switch off, the speed controller has failed.
Does this sound familiar?
- The mixer runs at full speed no matter where the dial is set
- Only one speed works, or nothing happens at the low settings
- The mixer keeps running after you switch it off
- The speed surges or drifts on its own while mixing
What the repair includes
- Controller tested and the fault confirmed
- Failed speed controller replaced
- Every speed setting checked against the dial after reassembly
- Full run test before the mixer goes back to you
The speed controller is the board that reads the dial and tells the motor how fast to spin. It is a common failure point on older mixers, and it usually announces itself by refusing to hold a speed.
A mixer that only runs flat out is worth fixing quickly. Running at full speed hammers the gearbox and heats the grease, so a controller fault left alone tends to take gears with it.
We replace the controller, then run the mixer through every setting on the dial so you get it back working the way it should across the whole range.
Common questions
Will a new controller fix every speed problem?
Not always. A mixer that will not turn on at all can be a cord, a switch or a motor fault. If we find something different during the repair we will call you before doing any extra work.
