BEST birthday present I've ever made - Restoration of a broken KitchenAid

[@jamessv5020]

This item is barely 20years old. What are you fixing, really? These Kitchen Aid appliances are made to last -- pretty much! This is a Kitchen Aid table mixer made in, approx., 1997, Oct-Nov. Not saying this is not a good job of making a good product look spanking new, but does not look like there was any real restoration involved.

[@Mejiaelis]

🙄

[@lumgs2009]

There always has to be an a-hole

[@ChapmanWW]

It clearly wasn't working properly in the beginning. One of the arms needed "fixing", the speed controller needed "fixing" and the aesthetics needed "fixing".

[@kthwkr]

Obviously this one was used hard and was ready for the trash bin. Restoring it is actually very eco friendly. Good job.

[@V12BHP]

Lol what a crass comment.

[@stevenmynes6212]

I really enjoyed watching this restoration. 25 years ago I was a machinist working for the company that machined many of the components for the KitchenAid mixer. A part I personally produced was the hub of the wire whisk. It was something to see how the components we made all fit together on the inside.

[@NTRprojects]

Nice someone else in the comments also produced parts in former days. Very nice how this comes together here

[@f.remplakowski]

I’d like to see more repair and reuse in this world. More quality, less crap.

[@NTRprojects]

I agree 100%

[@zehph]

It used to be better, but then people hardly bought new stuff and business had a hard time keeping afloat, at least is what I have heard, not to mention that competition makes people try to undercut one another and to make things cheaper quality takes a minor hit here and another there... They are small decrements, but over time we end up with the level of crap we are dealing with...

[@Mike-ox8sq]

Here are some serious quality for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_YgHSoesukfdE Was I right?

[@VangoghsDoggo]

@@zehph Buy quality stuff, ie: instead of the grater they sell at the grocery store made of cheap metal that rusts, get a good one out of stainless steel. Instead of the cheap $10 hand mixer, spend the money and get the pro model Kitchen aid. Sure it costs about $250 but it will last forever. They usually go on sale before Christmas and sell out. Got mine for $150 about 10 years ago, still going strong. Cleaning it right after using it and not letting powdered sugar or flour dust up out of the bowl is key. Both of those will clog up a motor. Add gradually and at slow speed until moistened is the proper way to do that and avoid the dust up.

[@zehph]

@@VangoghsDoggo I am making the shift to this way of thinking. I was raised through some financial hardship and got ingrained into my brain that cheaper is better because we couldn't pay for better stuff then, but now things got better and slowly but surely I'm making better investments in all areas, clothing was one that I struggle with a lot! 😅

[@NJ-Cathie]

I just received my KitchenAid mixer back from KitchenAid after they repaired (or should I say rebuilt!) the machine. These older mixers are worth repairing. They are much better built than the machines be sold today. Bravo on a job well done and keeping that beautiful piece of machinery out of the landfill.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Catherine and a lot of fun with yours. Best regards

[@JeffDeWitt]

I always wanted one but never had a good reason to get one until I got involved with a groupe where I had an opportunity to bake cakes once in a while. Got on Ebay and paid something like $80 for a 50 year old home appliance. The thing works great, I can get parts for it if it breaks, and can still get accessories for it. The only problem with it is that the plug is non-polarized, so if it's plugged in wrong and I touch it and the sink at the same time I get a little tingle.

[@VangoghsDoggo]

@@JeffDeWitt That isn't polarization. It's a short in it and you are running current from the mixer case, through you, to the sink. A live wire is touching the case inside or current is jumping to it and you are grounding it out on the sink. It needs to be fixed before you make the wrong connection and someone finds you on the floor dead.

[@ohger1]

@@VangoghsDoggo The tickle is probably conduction from the capacitors, not a hard short. A bare wire to the case and the user touching the mixer and the grounded sink would be thrown across the room. This should be upgraded to a polarized plug and Jeff should get a GFI installed in his kitchen (it's code anyway).

[@ohger1]

Current production Kitchen Aid stand mixers are still built the way they always have been. Even a new one is a lifetime item, but I agree that even antique Kitchen Aids should be restored like this one.

[@chazzwan]

You are a brilliant restorer. The purple color and your homemade knob caps make this look like a very expensive "special edition" Kitchen Aid. If it were in the show window of a Williams Sonoma store, it would probably have a price tag of $900. Superb workmanship and extraordinary attention to detail!

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks so much 😊

[@gaterunner64]

I've got a new one that I use infrequently and I was surprised to hear how smoothly this machine ran compared to mine. I have a feeling that if that machines aren't run that often, it can lead to problems, but this is my opinion only.

[@christianmuller4027]

Yeah. Maybe he installed a silencer😜 It really looks great

[@andyruse4670]

@@gaterunner64 I wonder if it’s either the mixing on the audio in the video, quite likely he toned down the sounds to avoid killing headphone users. Or the grease/bearing making a major impact. The audio mixing could explain why it feels quieter, however the bearing and grease might also have a major impact. Products are generally designed to last until out of warranty, wouldn’t surprise me if most any aftermarket grease would work better then factory because those penny pinching sons of bitches would save a nickel to make it last 5 years instead of 10.

I have a 1941 Kitchenaid that I dearly love. It was a wedding gift to my mother from her father. It has chipped paint, some rust but otherwise is in perfect condition, and now I know how to restore it, and also know that I can do it. Thank You. Getting my mother's wedding gift back to original condition is going to mean so much to me

[@NTRprojects]

That sounds amazing. All the best for your lovely project!!!!

[@suitov]

That's awesome. I hope it went well! Old machines are really cool, including little kitchen appliances.

[@mrimmortal1579]

I wouldn’t do anything at all to it, Bluebelle. As long as it is in perfect working condition, there is no need to fix it. Some basic maintenance is all that is needed to keep it working right for many years, but other than that… Think of it this way: if you take it apart and repair all of the cosmetic faults, it will be indistinguishable from one that has sat in a box since the 1940s. But your mother opened the box. She USED her mixer, probably a great deal. She baked birthday cakes with it. She made holiday cookies with it. She made more dinner rolls and loaves of bread with it than you can even begin to count. Every scratch, every ding, every stain… each one marks a memory. Each one loudly proclaims the love that your mother channeled through it into each and every thing she baked with it. Don’t erase those defects, preserve them! Celebrate them! Add to them, and someday pass them on to your own children.

[@Bluebelle51]

@@mrimmortal1579 To be honest, if I could get away with leaving it as is, I would, for the reasons you stated. However, the rust on the base where the bowl sits is BADLY rusting and I have fear that to do nothing to stop it will end up in disaster sooner rather than later. Mechanically, she's a stout little beast and has given me no trouble at all (I did have to replace the bowl when the original one developed a tiny hole on the side)

[@TheWoodWorkingPilot]

Great work! It makes me happy to see “garbage” given new life and reused. Less landfill for all of us. Keep it going! I was wondering where did you get all the wearable parts (brushes, gear, grease, etc…)?

[@winfr34k]

Wow! At first I was a bit skeptical since I thought "isn't the effort you need to put into restoring a bog standard item greater than just buying another?" but what you've transformed this mixer into at the end is truly beautiful.

[@SuzanneM7]

Wow what a transformation! I love that you gifted it to your girlfriend and now this beauty has many more years of baking ahead of it :)

Beautiful work. Something I really respect about KitchenAid is that they don't cheap out on construction, even on their lowest-end products. Close tolerances, metal parts, and mechanical fasteners instead of glue make them a joy to work on.

The reason computers and other electronic devices have a short lifespan is because, in the words of an IT guy I know, "They are not done inventing it yet". Once they reach a level of certainty that nothing can be improved, then you will see things slow down. A good example is televisions. They have been through several transformations and actually became really cheap by the 1970's. Then when flat screens were invented, they were expensive again. Now they have become cheap again because there isn't much else they can do.

[@drmosfet]

@@VangoghsDoggo Yes I understand your point, there is merit to what your saying, but TV like all other electronic devices today use internet connected computers, all computers should be kept up to date if they access the internet, even the best OS out there is a very large bloated tower of Babel so many computer language and frameworks, Hacker's are always looking for treasure in this vast landscape. The cost to maintain the software stack would cut into profitability, that why you can end up buying something new off the shelf that no longer supported by the manufacturer. Next problem. Electronics devices are going to be short life by design because of the ever decreasing in size of the circuit traces on the silicon substrate, there deleting there redundancy in the form of atoms.

Beautiful restoration. I live 35 miles south of Saint Joseph, Michigan. Whirlpool Corp. is the parent company of Kitchen Aid. I bought my wife one two years ago for Christmas. She loves it. Thank you for sharing this video and your beer reviews too!

[@NTRprojects]

Hey best regards to Michigan and thanks for the comment. I hope your wife will have a lot of fun with your nice present

That paint job is amazing. What an incredible and unique birthday present, especially if she is a keen cook or chef.

I did bodywork for 8 years and worked for Sears in the field on bench power tools and washers and dryers and recreation equipment and garage door openers and I was right there with you on this, though for taking the paint off I would have used stripper. I repainted a 1959 Bentley in the 70's with an aluminum body with jet black and rolls royce burgundy. Had to strip all chrome off it and the body was a mess with so many bondo repairs i knew how to shape metal so i removed most bondo! Some sandblasters can cut into metal depending on the sand size. Nicely done! I know the person receiving it will love the work you put into it! Thanks for sharing.

That did my heart good watching this come back to life. A good mixer is the heart of the kitchen. And what a beauty

[@NTRprojects]

Glad you enjoyed it

I ve replaced ring gears 3 times. This was very informative

[@DbeeSapphire]

Wow, really nice work. I had no idea how much effort that would take. I feel much better having paid retail now. Gave me a real appreciation for this product.

[@NTRprojects]

Great to hear!

[@Saweeetee]

Beautifully done! And that colour… PERFECTION! Love the elevated detail with the knobs… wish we could have seen her reaction, well done!!!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much!

[@crabtreeshep4969]

You've done it again doc. Made it better than when it was new. My wife would looove the custom color...that's her favorite! Enjoyed watching very much. Keep up the great work because these videos are much better than the garbage on TV these days!! Thank you.

[@NTRprojects]

Hey Roger so nice to see how many videos you've watched throughout the days. Thank you very much for the support and each comment

[@ritalowrie1296]

OMW who knew that there were so many parts to the KITCHEN AID? You did a wonderful job fixing this patient with love and care.

[@jimbo4375]

Shows how something well made with good materials and serviceable parts can last many many decades

[@pheehzero]

Beautiful and meticulous work! 2 things though: the planetary gear does come-out and can be flipped if necessary and there should be a set-screw inside the base that holds-in the head-to-base pivot pin. Thanks!

[@NTRprojects]

Hey Bob. That's great input. Thank you so much for sharing this info with me

[@TobiKcooks]

I really did enjoy that restoration after a long week :D Thank you very much

[@ThunderChasers]

I have a special place in my heart for these Kitchen Aid mixers. Thank you for making it new again!

[@christophertaylor9100]

That is significantly more complex than I thought it was. Incredible machines though, very durable and reliable if cared for

[@chadhamilton7512]

KitchenAid mixers are just a tank in the kitchen. These mixers are in each member of my family's homes because when we finally decide to upgrade to a bigger mixer the older KitchenAid mixer is passed down to the grown children.

Amazing! I love the design of this machine. Some time ago I bought a cheap one thinking of saving money (Clatronics: avoid!) and at some point I had to disassemble it as it was making noise. Found that to save money the bearings casing were made out of the chassis itself (to save a few pennies and not buy a ball bearing I guess). One of those had physically broken, letting the balls out. No chance of repairing it as the chassis needed replacement, the factory refused warranty support or any support whatsoever and it had to go to the bin. I love how this unit could be disassembled, serviced and put back to service for many more years of use. Also, your girlfriend is a lucky person :) Thanks for sharing!

[@peggymason7438]

How nice to have that kind of skill and get it all back together again.

[@NTRprojects]

I'm glad I managed to do so Peggy

[@wayedk1040]

this will sound dumb maybe but this is the kind of stuff that made me realise I wanted to be an engineer. Reverse engineering being my favourite part which is sort of this. Taking things apart and understanding them to make them better. I am now going to do my final year in Automotive Engineering and actually be one. continue to inspire, man

[@NTRprojects]

That's not dumb at all. Same for me, so good luck on your final exams and thesis.

[@kenanderson9331]

You have done a wonderful restoration to this machine. I would be happy to receive it knowing the effort that was put into restoring it.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Ken!

[@tammaragill9347]

WOW! Stunning restoration! No one else will have a Kitchaid like hers!
