There was a period of time in the middle there where they switched to non-metal gear thingy in there which would occasionally strip out and break with improper use. That was evidently intentional, to save the motor from breaking, but it does wear out faster.

Because of this there are lots of units “for parts” on eBay and will often even mention that it just needs a new worm gear. This is an easy fix and how I got KitchenAid in my kitchen for under $150
