The KSM60 uses a 575-watt motor with a 10-speed planetary drive. The bowl-lift cam mechanism and lift arm are the most common wear points. The 6-quart stainless bowl is specific to this model and is not interchangeable with 5.5-quart or 7-quart bowls. Cross-reference with KSM55 and KSM70 for shared internal components.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

Bowl won't rise fully or evenly: Bowl lift cam or arm worn.
