Kitchen Aid Pro Line 6 quart stand mixer: Does anyone else have an idea if the gearbox would be metal based on the serial number?

Folks, Let me put everyones mind at ease about this metal or plastic transmission housing issue in the pro 600 mixers. First, let me start by telling you that I have 3 kitchenaid mixers, a 275 watt, a 300 watt, and I have a pro 600 comming monday. All of these mixers I bought for less than $100.00 each because they needed to be repaired, the first one I repaired in about 5 min at no cost, the second one was tougher, It took about twenty minutes to fix that one at a whopping $6.00 plus shipping, It's a black 300 watt that's only two years old and looks like new, it's running strong. My point is, these kitchenaids are so easy to fix that anyone, can repair any problem, from 250 watt up to the 575 watt mixers in about 20 min., if you only take one 10 min. coffee break. Now, let me get to the point, If you have a pro 600 with a plastic transmission cover, dont frett, were going to fix it. Get online and go to: buy-it-nowstore.com and purchase the metal transmission housing from them for $12.99 + shipping. When I recieve my pro 600 monday, I will take it apart and write a step by step procedure to replace the plastic housing with the metal housing, then I will write it here on this descussion page for anyone to follow. I will not be responsable for any damage to your mixer, or injury you may incur to yourself. You may follow my instruction, at your own risk. If you feel like it is within your mechanical ability to complete the task, go for it, if your not sure if you can do it, take your mixer to a repair shop and let them install your new metal housing. "Problem solved". I will be back here next week to write the procedure, It's very simple.

I have this one and it is for a 6qt mixer. I looked on Kitchen Aid site and the kms5 looked like it would be for the 5 qt series. They have a phone number on site you can call. I'd try that before you order.

Veggiechiliqueen, please read the posts at http://www.amazon.com/anybody-models-shipped-gearboxs-plastic/forum/Fx1UONYPEXDDH0B/TxORR918EEI18Q/1/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft_tp?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin;=B0006LKLTS for you question. My mixer's serial number begins with WW05 and the packing box printed 'Direct Drive - All-Steel Gear Transmission'.I got my mixer 4 hours ago. I started the mixer but noticed some rattling noise - like some gears hiting the casting. I called KitchenAid. The representative was very nice and told me the Pro 600 Series mixer is a bit noiser than other mixer. She assured me that if the noise of the mixer is getting louder, she will ship a new one for me.Have you gotten your rebate form? http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/01/52/29/63/152296350._V10117256_.pdf Veggiechiliqueen, please read the posts at http://www.amazon.com/anybody-models-shipped-gearboxs-plastic/forum/Fx1UONYPEXDDH0B/TxORR918EEI18Q/1/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft_tp?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin;=B0006LKLTS for you question.

The description says it's all metal, suggesting the others are not. I was billed for this mixer and it never came so amazon gave me a refund.

I'm not sure. I could not find your model number on the Kitchenaid website but I did find model #KSM5PSO. Check out this website, it's item 26, Sheld-Pour. http://www.partselect.com/ModelSections.aspx?ModelID=654403&ModelNum=KSM5PS0&mfgModelNum=&ManufactureID=3&Selected=X3GKRLNY&Position=1&mfg=Whirlpool&Type=Mixer&Mark=1

Check on the bottom of your mixer for a sticker with the model and serial numbers. This model does fit the KP26M1X 6 QT lift mixer.

Sorry, but I have the KCM534, which I believe is the JavaStudio model. So, I guess I'm not sure about the KitchenAid Pro.

this beater will fit the 6 qt stand mixer but NOT the bowl lift type. please only buy kitchen aid parts! my older kitchen aid was 4.5 qt stand mixer and the knock off beater worked fine. i am not the seller of this item so i can only help so much...p-lease contact the seller as to their listing

Sorry, I don't really know. I ordered it thinking my Kitchenaid Mixer was a 6 quart and found it to be a 5 quart, which it did not fit. However, it was not terribly large for the 5 quart and think it probably won't be large enough for the 7 quart. Also, it is made of plastic and not metal like a Kitchenaid original part would have been. I hope this was helpful.

I don't know for sure, but I have a 20-yr-old Heavy Duty 6-qt mixer and I LOVE this beater.

I purchased one during the friday only sale.. and it does state on the box that it is "ALL-STEEL GEAR TRANSMISSION". I read also on another post, one customer did the research and found out from Kitchen Aid that any serial number above WU14..... are the most recent models, with the all steel gears.. Mines start with WU23..(licorice) I hope this helps.

I did find one, But Not On Amazon!!I think its the "KitchenAid® 7 Quart Flex Edge Beater (Fits models KSM7990 and KSM7581)". I found it on Kitcheaid.com. I am assuming that KSM7581 is a basic model number for the 7" Pro Line as well as other models. Let me know if anyone find anything else.

Look on the bottom and back of your stand mixer, then you can search for the manual here: http://www.kitchenaid.com/customer-service/manuals/ to verify you are reading the model number correctly. Hope this helps.

Your Kitchen Aid looks very similar to mine and should definitely fit. I can measure my mixer and advise, if you like!
