5ksm160 sound normal?

My 2022 5ksm160 sounds like it has a bit of a low grinding or oscillating noise, but I'm not sure if this is normal. I've just regreased the gears and all gears showed no signs of wear.

See two videos, one with the machine fully assembled where the low noise is more pronounced and ill try post a second video in comments wlwith just the motor running and maybe it looks a little jerky.

Any ideas on whether something is wrong and of so what?

Thanks very much.

Fibre washer at the top of planetary?

Hi, I opened up my 5ksm160 mixer, brought new in 2022 for a regrease.

There was no fibre washer in between the planetary and the main motor housing above (see red circle in photo for location). However it looks like there should be a fibre washer there and I have either lost it somehow or it wasn't there from the factory. Can anyone confirm whether it is required for this model please?

Its part 29 in the second parts diagram.

Thank you 😊
