Mixer is not turning on. Control board?
I recently took apart my Kitchen Aid and put it back together. It will not turn on now. I took out the carbon brushes, the phase and control boards, and pretty much every screw I could get to so I have no idea where the problem lies. While I was troubleshooting I arced a spark and saw some smoke from the copper arm on the back of the control board. Did I fry something?

First check the simple things, are the brushes in properly, they are keyed to only fit properly one way. Look in the hole with a torch and line the missing corner up with the blocker right inside. If you have fried something it could be damaged switch contacts on the black control plate or even weaker would be the phase board at the top just under the back cover. Testing for circuits with a multi meter will prove everything except the phase board. If you have circuits everywhere they should be then change that board.
