I was making bread dough when it suddenly stopped
Sounds like the worm gear was stripped. This gear is designed to fail when the load on the motor is too great. This protects the motor from overheating and burning out. By the way, the mixer should not be used above the number 2 speed when using the dough hook.
The worm gear is not all that hard to replace although you will have to contend with a lot of grease. See the Service Manual:

Hi
If you decide to get rid of it can you sell the accessories parts?. I have one with no parts.
Thanks,

SOURCE: is 300 w mixer powerful enough to mix bread dough?
Your mixer is easily able to handle the kneading of bread dough. Please advise:
9 cups of all purpose white flour, maximum.
6 cups of specialty flour, maximum. This is any flour besides all purpose white.
Bread doughs are only to be needed on speed 2, and never for longer than 7 minutes.
This is all stated in the Use and Care guide for the mixer itself. If these guidelines are not followed, it may lead to a product failure.

It sounds like you may have a governor issue. which is located at the back of your unit. it controls the amount of current going to your motor by way of centripetal force. the part number for the governor assembly is 4159675. this can become weaker over time and will eventually cause it to sputter or speed up suddenly. hope this helps.
Thanks

Hello Suzann,
I understand that you are having a problem with your Kitchen Aid 5 Quart mixer. It sounds like you have stripped the gears or the worm gear out. Although, it may not be an expensive parts repair it is not an easy task to complete if you are not mechanical enclined. There are many different little gears in these units.
My suggestion would be to take it a local appliance repair shop that works on mixers. If you can tell me the city that you live in I would be more than happy to give you the location of one or two repair shops. As the unit is so old you want to invest in a new unit and keep that one as a reminder of how long Kitchen Aid has been around.
Thank you for choosing FIxYa.com
