Earthtec Speed Control WP9706648 Replacement for Whirlpool KitchenAid Stand Mixer

My Kitchenaid Mixer (Professional 600 - 6 Quart)- grey knob) began to delay starting, for the past year or so we slid the on/off speed control knob several times to get the machine to start. After starting, the speed control worked as it should, but after turning it off, getting it going again was often the same problem. The problem seemed to get progressively worse. I watched two or three YouTube videos and determined that my problem was the speed control unit. After checking online, I found pricing from over $100 down to $28. From what I was able to figure out, they were all the same part. Amazon being the one for $28. Placed order and it came in just a few days. The installation is very straight forward, simply remove the mounting screws and plug in the wiring one at a time from old to new. Different locations, but clearly identified. The two difficulties are (1) removing the speed sensor plug and replacing it. My wife held a light and I pressed each locking ear with a small flat screwdriver to release. Replacing the plug was the last step. Careful alignment and what seemed to be excessive pressure got it installed. (2) the new unit did not ship with a new knob, removing the old one with out damage was a real challenge. I suspected that it would break before releasing. Not sure if it was a friction fit or they used some glue. I used my soldering iron to heat the metal lever and pried, reheated, pried, several times and it finally broke free. It would be much better if Amazon offered a replacement knob as an option. I only used friction to attach it to the new unit and it seems to be holding. I can use some CA glue if needed. The prying did some slight cosmetic damage, but you really have to look closely to see the little bit of damage. Solved my problem and 5 stars to the replacement part and Amazon for having it available at a reasonable price.

Well... It works. So I'm happy. Reasonable price. There you go. Just take a picture before you unhook the plugs from the old board. Trust me on that.

I have a Kitchenaid professional HD (KG25H7XWH) stand mixer that I purchased from Costco about 10 years ago. The mixer stopped turning on for speed 1 & 2 but if you went to speed 3 and then back to speeds 1 or 2 then it worked on those speeds. This part fixed the problem. It was easy to swap out. Just note the four wire clips are in different locations on the new board, which are labeled. The speed control lever on the new board lacks a knob. I tried to remove the old knob but it appears to be glued on. I did a work around by removing the black plastic housing on the back side of the new board. This housing is held in place with 4 screws and is easily swapable with the original housing. By swapping the housing I avoided the challenge of pulling the black knob off and gluing it on the new lever.

This item was very easy to install. My board went out on my kitchen, a five pro.Talk me all about ten minutes to swap out the board and the kitchenaid is working perfectly again.

Very easy install / swap, it took 5 min….however, it didn’t come with a knob so I spent the time to unscrew the old slide knob and put it on the new board. All still working great. Perfect for the value!

I was devastated when Big Red was having issues. I love my kitchenaid mixer and, well, those are expensive so I started googling. As a modern, self-sufficient woman and a few youtube videos later, I took the plunge and ordered this. I noticed on some versions of this it was noted to not have the knob but the one sent to me did. Super easy to switch and worked perfectly. Celebrating now with a big batch of cookies! Would definitely recommend.

My KA Professional 550 HD stopped working after just sitting for a long time. I took it apart and nothing appeared damaged. I had no clue this was all it needed. The circuit board fit perfectly and the mixer is running again. I fill like a handyman now being able to make repairs for myself. I hope it last longer than the board that came in the mixer.

Installation is easy if you have basic mechanical skills and access to YouTube videos. Just keep track of the wires as you pull them off the old board and hook them to the new board. They relocated a couple of the connectors but they are the same in the end. The wires are NOT labeled so either label them before removing old board or pull one at a time and connect to new board. That's my advice. Operation is great but then again we only used it once. We pulled apart the gears and cleaned and lubricate them since we where right there at the time. Get some good food grade grease and a new gasket if you plan to do this step. Happy cooking.

Statt neu gekaufter KitchenAid für 900€ repariert für 80€. Einbau kinderleicht, läuft top.

La pieza funciona sin problemas y es fácil de reemplazar.

We have an older kitchenaid stand mixer, the on with the handle to raise and lower the bowl, they still make/sell the same ones ours may be 6 or 7 years old. Anyways the speed selector was broken (very stiff and would skip and sometimes not really work) and instead of buying a new stand mixer I ordered this at the time for a little over $100 and it's good as new. It was easy to install and works perfectly.

We bought a Kitchen Aid mixer that my wife was after for some time. We got it very cheap but speed control knob was broken (we knew it) but unfortunately I had to buy complete board. It worked very well it wasn’t hard to fix it since I got right part!

Excelente repuesto, funciona sin problemas y facil de instalar.
