Product Description
Speed Control Lever Specifications
The speed control lever on your stand mixer allows you to adjust the speed that the mixer is running at. The lever is approximately 3.5 inches long, with a black plastic handle at the top. The speed control lever connects to the interior of your stand mixer, so you will have to take it apart to access the bar that the lever is attached to. Once you’ve opened the mixer, you can unscrew the old lever, taking care not to misplace the screw or washer that holds it in place. Replace the old lever with the new one, and then put the mixer back together.

Perfect
Identical to the original, which was broken when the mixer tipped over. It’s a bit of a pain to replace since you have to crack the case but it also gave me the opportunity to re-grease the drive system. Decent delivery speed.

Works well
I went on line and found a video to install the part. It was very complex but the instructor was great and I did it. Pretty well had to take the mixer completely apart but it all went well and the speed lever works great.it is good that these people make up these videos.

Part delivered promptly but more than was needed
As I was unable to order just the knob I had to order the entire lever; I was able to remove the knob from the lever with some difficulty. It would have been helpful to be able to order the knob on its own.

Speed Control Lever KNOB BROKEN
Pulled the Knob off of the new Lever then pressed it on the old Lever. I had to order the whole lever because it was the part nearest the knob in the illustrated parts break-down. I RECOMMEND THAT THE KNOB BE ADDED TO THE ILLUSTRATED PARTS BREAK-DOWN.

Mixer was overloaded, and began to smell hot and make noise. Did not recover when load was removed.
I disassembled the mixer using a YouTube video as a guide. Disassembly was easy, as everything was held together with pins and threaded fasteners, and all electrical connections were plug-on.
Cleaning out the old grease was messy and time-consuming. I used a putty knife, screwdrivers (used them like small putty knives in the crevasses), paper towels, and finally, small cloths dampened with alcohol. After about a hour (maybe 90 minutes) everything actually looked like new.
I originally diagnosed the problem as the plastic gear loosening up from it's hub, so I ordered the complete gear tower assembly. It turned out not to be the problem- the gears were fine. With the gears removed to eliminate load, I applied power and saw that the original symptom was still there.
Further research turned up that this symptom is more likely a failed field coil, or possibly the phase control board. I ordered both from PartSelect. In the meantime, I tested the armature by measuring the resistance across the brushes as I slowly turned it by hand. At every angle, the resistance was about 7.5 ohms. Nothing lower, and no opens, so I'm pretty sure the armature is OK.
The phase control board arrived, but as of this writing, the field coil has been back ordered for almost a month. While I waited, I tried a partial reassembly of the head with the new board, and it worked! This weekend, I'll finish reassembly of the motor unit to the base/gearbox and calibrate the speed governor. In addition to the new gear tower and phase control board, it has new grease, seals, and both side levers (tilt and speed control) that had lost their knobs some time ago.
Hopefully it will be ready for another quarter century of use!

Will this part fit my appliance? I just need the knob but looks like i have to order the whole part. Thanks
For model number KSM95GR
Hi Kathy,
Thank you for your question. Yes, this lever works with your appliance and you would have to order the whole lever. The knob does not come separately. Good luck with your repair.

All I need is the speed control knob. I bumped it and it cracked in half, I have glued it but not sure how long it will last. Thank you
For model number KSM500QAC0
Hi Chris, Thank you for the question. The knob is not sold separate from the Lever. In order to replace the knob the lever will also need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

The plastic knob of the speed control lever broke. Can I get just the plastic knob - I don't want to take any risks by taking apart the whole machine to replace the lever. Thx
For model number KS150
Hi Florian, Thank you for the question. The knob should stay attached to the lever for proper operation so they can not be sold separate. Hope this helps!

For model number ksm90bu
Hello Chris, thank you for asking. Our research shows that you may need to replace the control spring, part number PS11740854. This spring is attached to the lever and controls its position. If replacing the spring does not work, you may need to replace the lever, part number PS11747016. We would also recommend checking the screw, part number PS11738270. A loose or damaged screw can also cause this issue. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
