Access gears?? how can i get to the gears? i removed the two screws on the bottom, but no luck still.

Hi Carol , I had the same problem. You should open the main cover, then, remove the 3 screws (see picture), and remove the nickel plated ring, then, take out one screw from the bottom (see picture), then open 4 screws that holds the gear box from the top .

good luck.

There should be an access screw on the bottom of the transmission housing where grease can be checked or introduces. Remove this plug and carefully introduce a tool such as a wide flat screwdriver to 'lock' the gears from turning. The nylon gear and 'isolator' should come off fairly easily

Most likely what has happened is that the gears have stripped. The gears inside are plastic but the spindle is metal. When a dough is too heavy and gets caught up in the beaters it tends to eat them. If you take it apart, you will probably find that the gears are shot.
The fix...order new gears, tear down the mixer and replace them. These gears really should have been metal! Check the sunbeam web site for authorized repair places to get your parts.

1. Remove the ejector button...it should pop out with a flat head screw driver. There is a small phillips head screw under it. Take it out.

2. Take out the screws on the bottom. This should allow the face plate on the mixer to slide off, allowing your motor assembly to then be pulled forward.

3. Remove the mounting brackets/shock absorbers...they are rubber u shaped items that hold the motor in. Once that is done, remove the black plastic bracket on the bottom; two phillip head screws. Then unscrew the two long screws underneath. they hold on the speed control electric board as well as the top to the gear box. Pop the silver fasteners on the side of the gear box and you are in. the gears should lift out. put the new ones in and do the whole thing in reverse.

hope this helps.

It is most likely a stripped gear. Here is a link to the parts manual which contains the listing of the gears and shows you how to split the gear case.

Remove the chrome ring with a screwdriver by prying it off carefully. This exposes 5 screws, however they can't be accessed on all models. Remove the pin (17) that goes through the planetary housing and the drive shaft, and carefully drive the planetary housing from the shaft to expose the screws. Then remove the 5 remaining screws and split the case to expose the gears. The worn gears will be obvious.

Also check the bearings. Replace all affected parts. Remove all grease since metalic pieces will have contaminated it from any worn out gears. The grease is a special food grade grease which you can purchase along with the gears and bearings.

It is most likely a stripped gear and most likely the worm gear which is driven by the motor shaft. Here is a link to the parts manual which contains the listing of the gears and shows you how to split the gear case.

all tilt head mixers pivot on a pin which goes thru the head and the base. This pin is held in in place with a screw which you can access from underneath the base. Try tightening the screw and see if that tightens up the the loose head.

If the looseness is in the gear head then the five screws which hold the top and bottom halves of the gearcase together. Remove the chrome ring by gently prying it off, then drive the pin out which goes thru the planetary housing and the shaft and drop the planetary housing to access the 5 (item 19) screws.

Remove the back housing by removing one screw and liftingand pulling rearward.
Remove two screws holding the metalic edge trim. This uncovers the seam. Screws are on the back.
Remove four visible screws from the bottom of the head around and near the pillar.
Now gently using a screw driver, push the metallic ring on the mixing head down and off.
This uncovers five more screws about the mixing head. Remove them.
Using a very small screw driver or punch, puch the pin out of the mixing head shaft.
Remove the mixing head housing.
Lift up on the motor housing to remove it.
The motor/gear housing is the top protion of the mixer. Its loaded with grease so do this over a covered countertop or some place easy to clean. The grease won't run, but it can fall out in gobs.
Make sure all sealing surfaces are clean, especially the gasket around the gears. This will insure a good seal. No gear grease in your famous cookies!
Reinstall in reverse.

CE is the marking that shows its european conformant.  I think the difference is mostly in terms of the no volt interlock switch.  This means the KA style N50 bowl won't work with the CE models - too low.
