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.

regret that I cannot be sure - based on the parts diagram on the kitchenaid website for that mixer it APPEARS to be the same design. But I cannot guarantee. The mixer I use is the Professional 600 model and I think it is a 6 quart bowl.

The answer to your question is yes, many attachments for your model; actually you will find the attachments work for all the stand mixers. The 600 Pro series is not an odd model. As a professional chef I find having 6qt capabilities works out better for me. I know many people purchase the K5 or K600 Pro because of how it looks in a kitchen. All I would suggest it take it for a spin. Make something; you will never just have it for decoration.

Hi Jorge- I just took the model details you provided and did a Google search. What came back was a large amount of information that you will find useful. Specifically, I was taken to Sears Direct. That site provides me with all the information I needed around the kitchen aid blender. I hope this helps your investigation.

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 can"t say. My mixer is model KHM53ER. It works great though. Makes egg whites really fluff up in little time.

I bought this as a gift. I don't remember the model number of the mixer it was to be used with, but I looked up the model number of the machine to check compatibility

No. One I looked at in the store and considered in the same price range is the Hamilton Beach 64650 Classic Stand/Hand Mixer. The same identical mixer alone sells for half the price($19.00 - $23.00). I didn't want to deal with storing it and the mixer had deal breaking poor reviews regarding "...no real slow speed." The Hamilton Beach stand was really nice though and not the monster the Classic Kitchen Aid was that I had and hardly used.

I have a KitchenAid Pro 600 6 Qt stand mixer (KP26M1XLC) and the flex edge beater works great.

I believe that the plastic gear housing debacle happened in the mid-2000's (2005-2006). Kitchen-Aid has long ago gone back to the metal gear housing on the Professional 6. The replacement mixer they sent me has metal gear housing. I think if you are buying a new brand new mixer from Amazon you will have the metal gear housing. I think KithchenAid learned their lesson on cheaping out on sturdy parts. The Professional 6 is a great mixer and I have had no problems whatsoever since then and my mixer gets heavy use as I do a lot of bread baking during the winter months and always use my KitchenAid to knead the dough.

I really don't know. But you can download the manual for this product at http://www.brevilleusa.com/stand-mixer.html; click the Get the Manual link. What I find amazing is that this mixer is so much quieter than my old KitchenAid. Don't let the quietness fool you about its power.

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

I believe so...it does not state for specific models but does show a beater shaft with and without a spring and how you attach.You can call 1-800-541-6390 mon-fri and they could tell you for sure but I believe it will. When did you buy your mixer?

Couldn't say. I have the 600 Pro as well, but the beater I received doesn't fit - can't even get it on. It doesn't have the proper hole at the top to slide onto the metal attachment holder. They won't give me a full refund because they say it is "factory", but I bought one in the "store" in "KitchenAid" packaging and it works perfectly.

Good question, and I wish Kitchenaid would respond!I looked on the bottom of the mixing bowl, for its capacity and then backtracked to arrive at what I figured was our model. Ordered that accessory and, luckily, it was correct; if it had not been, the accessories would have been sent back, etc.

This looks like the part (I believe perhaps it was a gasket, but not sure of it's part name since I replaced it quite sometime ago). It did fit our Kitchen Aid Unit very well, along with the turning blades. The parts that I ordered from Amazon were relatively inexpensive, but certainly did the job and our expensive Kitchen Aid mixer has been working very well and that makes my wife very happy. Hope this helps you. You are not looking at much money here in the event that the part is not the right one. I would give it a try. Good luck.
