Sorry, my English is not really good.
My Kenwood Chef works and rotates, but when I try to mix butter or dough, it turns itself loose and the middle screw (at the axis) falls in the dough.
It started after kneeding a tough christmascake last year ;-(.
Here is a clip of what happens.
Can anyone give me advice how to repair it?

Take the central nut off. Try and remove the planet hub by wiggling it with a downwards motion.
Check that the gear (cog) on top of the beater socket is not damaged (sometimes they’re made of plastic and have broken or split). If necessary fit a new gear (available online) and secure with a 5 mm starlock washer/push-on fastener. Whilst its off you could clean off any old dirt/grease using a cloth with some white spirit, and re-lubricate around the teeth on the underside of the gearbox with a smear of grease. Also check that the hole in the middle of the hub is still “D” shaped - these can wear down with age.
Replace the planet hub and refit the nut using a new washer (plastic or fibre) between the planet hub and the nut. An M6 nylon washer should be the right size. Do the nut up with a spanner, but do not overtighten as you don’t want to strip the threads. Note that there may be a small gap between the hub and the nut if the new washer is thicker than the original. This will not affect operation.
这个答案有帮助吗？
If the "whole in the middle" of the planet hub is no longer "D" shaped, do I need a new planet hub, or is there a fix? Thanks
