Thanks! I'm a bit confused as part numbers 137, OH137 bring up the hall effect sensors as you've linked to. I can't find anything relating to '033a' anywhere online. Is there a way of identifying a suitable replacement hall sensor for the part i replaced? My replacement doesn't seem to detect the magnet rotating on the shaft or else the signal doesn't seem to be correct for the microcontroller.
Just to give you some background as to why I thought it was the hall sensor, it was because the motor would start with an erratic speed, speeding up and slowing down on its own. Then it would speed up to the point where i thought the mixer would damage itself. If i shorted out the pins coming from the hall sensor on the control board (either legs to ground) then the motor would slow down to a stop. On removing the short the motor would speed up again. I figured the hall sensor was not providing the correction voltage so that's why i thought it was faulty.
I clearly have no idea what i'm doing though!
