You can get the high speed back if you want to play with those three screws. there is a timing scheme for your mixer and it is set and adjusted by manipulating those 3 screws. The bottom center screw is for speeds 6 8 and 10. The best choice is to replace this switch, about $10 bucks on ebay.
your speed adjustment will have to be looked at. You can do this yourself but it is not easy, so it's easier to take it to a kitchenaid center where they can do it for you, but dont let them con you into getting a new mixer or anything until you know its broken or something is seriously wrong with it! hope this helps. Luke :)
the speed setting is in the speed control unit which by your statement is now broken
no parts around for the lovely old reliable machine which is now close to junk
take it to an appliance repair shop as they may have spare from another machine or can repair the fault
I'm not quite sure about this answer but it occurs to me that it could be the governor. It sits at the back end of the armature and as the speed control is slid to faster speeds the governor moves away from its rest position pressing against the control plate. If the governor's pivots were to be binding, even slightly, it would explain the symptoms you are describing. A service manual can be found at:
It's a problem with tachogenerator. You can buy this part pretty cheap and replacing is not that hard. (It's the gears under the blender/juice maker attachment) Basically while spinning it measures the speed and sends it back to motherboard to calculate how to adjust speed so it matches the setting. Replacing should help if it's broken. Although might be worth a try too just clean it. If some dirt or liquid got inside I might disturb the mechanism and cause problems. In my case just cleaning fixed the situation drastically.
