My 32 year old KitchenAid Mixer Model K45SS (no WH at the end) will not start until I move the speed lever to at least 5 (that gets messy!). I can then move the lever back to the lower speeds and it will work fine.
Is this a good question?

That and done, your unit needs servicing. If doing the repairs yourself, open up the unit and do a visual inspection of the speed switch along with continuity and voltage testing using a multimeter. More than likely it will need replacing.
