An OEM KitchenAid sensor. Part includes connection to clip to control assembly. It communicates to the control assembly how fast the motor is turning in KitchenAid mixers. It's attached to the motor frame using two clips on both sides of the sensor.
Replace this part if the mixer, when turned on to the lowest speed, ramps up from low to high only running for a few moments, and then turns off completely.
Removal Tips:
Unclip from control assembly first. Use needle nose pliers to pinch retaining clips on on sides of old sensor and gently pull straight up.
New part easily clips into place on the motor and attaches one way to the control assembly.

My Kitchenaid Professional 6 mixer speed control was not working. I would turn it on high and it would go slow, then faster, then slow...etc....

My patient told me that the repair was easy so I ordered both parts just in case. The video showed me how to take apart the case and get down to the control board and speed sensor. Also the top of the mixer was loose on the base. I removed the motor unit and tightened the bolts holding the upper motor unit to the base using lock tight. I removed both the control assembly and the speed sensor. i marked the wires with masking tape to indicate where to put them on the new control assembly. Here is where it got a little tricky. The new control assembly had 4 attachment points where the original had 5. It turned out that there are two wires that came off the switch portion of the original control assembly. Only the wire that comes from the power cord to the original switch needed to be connected to the new control assembly. This wire came from the power cord with a connector to the original switch and another connector to the control assembly board. I taped the connector that had been attached to the switch with electrical tape and plugged in the end to the connector on the control assembly.
It worked perfectly.

After viewing the video on this website for the part, this is what I did:
1. Used a Philips screwdriver to remove one screw on the back of the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer holding the vanity strip on, and removed the vanity strip.
2. Unscrewed four screws, that were beneath the vanity strip, two on each side, and removed the top of the mixer.
3. Unplugged the white plug of the sensor from the control board (noted which way it fits into the control board, so I did not plug the new one in, the wrong way).
4. Used the tip of a small flat-head screwdriver and pushed-in a tab on the black plug, which released the black plug of the sensor. The old sensor was now out.
5. Pushed the black plug of the new sensor back into the spot where I removed the old sensor removed in #4 above.
6. Plugged the white plug into the control board where I removed the old sensor in #3 above.
7. Plugged the mixer into the outlet and tested the mixer - it worked perfectly.
8. Unplugged the mixer and put the top back on the mixer, removed in #2 above.
9. Screwed the four screws back into the mixer, also removed in #2 above.
10. Put the vanity strip back on the mixer and screwed-in the final screw removed in #1 above.
11. Tested the mixer again - worked. Total time: about 10 minutes!
I was quoted $70 by Kitchen Aid to fix the mixer, plus it would have been a 50 mile round trip to take it to the repair center. Total cost, including shipping, after buying the part on this website: $14.40! Received the part on Saturday after ordering on Monday night.

1. Removed the trim band with the name on it (one screw).
2. Removed the top housing of the mixer (4 screws).
3. Unplugged speed control from board then pressed the black clip at the bottom of the clip (other end of the sensor) and released it by pulling up on it.
4. Plugged in new speed sensor to board and clipped the other end back into the slot.
5. Put housing back on with the 4 screws then replaced the trim band with the 1 screw.
Mixer was unplugged while repair was being done.
Works like a charm. BTW the mixer was given to me because the previous owner could not find a repairman in town. Yay for me and You Tube (I watched your repair video to determine how to repair mixer and also to determine what was wrong).

I watched how to do the repair. First I removed the trim band then the 4 screws holding the top cover, second I labeled the wires according to where they went on the old speed control and disconnected them, then after removing the screws that held the speed control I removed and replace it with the new one and the the speed sensor, I then reassembled the cover and trim band and my 20 year old Kitchen Aid mixer works as good as new.

1. Unscrewed and removed the metal band around the top of the mixer
2. Unscrewed the rest of the screws holding the top of the mixer together
3. Removed top
4. Identify the hall effect sensor, a small wire connected at the top of the machine
5. Removed the sensor by putting pressure on either side of the little black plastic piece on one end of the wire. I used two screw drives to do this as it was kind of hard to get to with fingers. The black piece had little arms that helped it stay in place that you had to pinch together.
6. Once old part was removed, pop the new one in place
Easy peasy!
