How to repair a Kitchenaid Artisan Mixers that runs but is not turning the beater.

[@emersonbiggens1502]

Dont know how I came across this video, but i learned WHY they would put a platic gear in there. Makes sense now. Great job.

[@elrobo3568]

I have rebuilt a number of these units and have found that there are two ways that most often leads to this repair. One is getting a spatula or other item in the bowl while mixing that locks the beater second most people never put some veggie oil on the accessories drive shafts like a grinder and they bind up and stall the drive. You are right this gear is made to fail and save the motor. Very well built mixer, I have three and used them for my restaurant.

[@peterford9369]

Yes they are well built and expensive.

[@TheC238]

2 time damaged on three times of use 🤔 i cant understand why

[@maru.rdz6]

Can u help me please ? I'm struggling with this part I mean I bought the new worm drive and put on it but once I close all the machine and try to turn on that didn't happen and I don't know why 😭😭😭😭

[@royfrancis8935]

​@@maru.rdz6make sure you have put the brushes back in the correct way, the angled edge must be inserted into the position that has a 'wedge' at the bottom of the hole which is difficult to see, this stops the brushes from going in all the way and then does not make contact with the rotor

[@stevenwilgus8982]

Quality uses sacrificial to protect. Perfect example of such and yes cost some money to repair, but note she's back in service for years more. No landfill. Well done sir, I subscribed.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Well said!

[@RAKINAUS]

Nice work Dean, love your video work. I've been a mechanic for 55. Yrs. The very first machine I ever worked on when I was about 10yrs old was one of these and it was that gear! It was my mum's machine. You brought some very strong memories back for me, thank you.

[@Ali.rahmani-jn9ux]

سلام واقعا استاد ماهری است کارش را دوست دارم تعمیر کار باانصاف ، دقیق وبا نظم وتمیز کار می باشد.

[@MoGanoooo]

Thank you for the video! I was able to order parts and repair my mixer within four days of failure thanks to your clear and informative directions

[@1Irvinv]

thank you for this from Southern California. My wife uses this model and i've been wanting to fix her lever for her since it wont switch off easily now with this video i can take it apart and put it back together for her since she uses it almost every day.

[@edwardlogan267]

You are the man! Best tool technician I've seen on youtube!!

[@crappy60]

At least the brushes are serviceable as well. This was really helpful because I’ve watched some tutorials where people just cake the grease on, this was very informative as the adage goes “less is more”.

[@tomtomhall]

Thank you so much for this video. Following your great instructions I’ve been able to get my kitchenaid going again :-)

[@timothyedmiston8756]

Thanks for the education on how to fix the KitchenAid. I truly learned something that I did not know. And you just proved that we are part of a throwaway society that was a simple repair and it makes perfect sense that that gear would be plastic so that it would break first before the rest.

[@dvig3261]

God work, boss! One bit of advice I'd say is when putting several screws to attach something, get all the screws put in before tightening any of them..i see young guys put tension on bolts of motors or such, then struggle to get the rest started.

[@1ofakind2011]

Found a kitchenaid at goodwill today worked fine but sounded like something was wrong. For the 20$ I could not pass this beauty up. Took it home and guess what just like your video the wheel grind was shot. Ordered replacement and hope it makes it perfect!!! Thank you for the step by step guide of taking apart and putting together. This made it so easy and efficient. 😊

[@farmerbrown3768]

I got my wife a KitchenAid mixer for her Christmas 40+ years ago, gets used nearly everyday since. Maybe I should get that gear for standby as it has not failed since new!

[@davidhargrove1648]

Nice informative video. I’m glad he mentioned using food safe gear grease. Using the proper grease is actually very important. I once learned this repairing gears on a commercial kitchen grinder and used gear oil. It was too light weight and ended up seeping into the motor bearings and seizing them.

[@gizzyguzzi]

Doesn't really matter what kind of grease you use if you pay attention and stop using it if / when it starts leaking. Some of the 'food grade' grease is crap and breaks down quickly and it's not exactly anything I want to eat. The grease is supposed to stay in the machine, then it won't bloody matter will it?

[@seamusellis1450]

Food safe grease is only for the planet hub...high temperature lithium grease is best for the gearbox

[@philliphoward7455]

Thanks for the informative video. My wife has an identical mixer ( except for color ), to the one you feature. She has used it for years but I know the end will come. Now I know what to do when it does.

[@leeberry9666]

Good video Dean. Nice to see you repairing something completely different from the norm.

[@mikem2183]

You had some really good insight, anyone who fixes things automatically thinks planned obsolescence. But its really just a safety measure to help protect all the other gears, im sure someone makes a metal replacement for those who want longevity.

[@lazyboyrider4607]

Great video! I will start the repair on my mixer tomorrow. Thanks so much for demonstrating this repair. God bless.

[@jakibarnes5598]

Thank you for doing this tutorial we will be fixing ours this weekend just ordered the parts

[@robhik]

Great video, clear & straightforward.

[@Allen-z6n]

Thanks for the post. Nice work. I was glad to find it. When fixing mine I realized that the black screws on the side holding the motor brushes don’t have to be removed. It avoids screwing up when putting them back in like I did and thought the motor was dead.

[@jasonbuckler190]

I think you just gave me an idea as to what's wrong with my wife's competitor model. Thanks for the insight, great work!

[@shatin2008]

It’s enjoyable to watch and learn from your videos. Thank you Dean.

[@mariecabaneshucamis]

love how you really scrape off those old grease and keep it nice and clean👍

[@cloversniffs6884]

Awesome - Rock’n a Casio watch too lol. Thanks for the video.

[@ronmartinez2766]

thank you! Saved me a lot of frustration and anger. Mine stripped out at the first use; now I know that it was through my own fault...some of the meat I was grinding was still somewhat frozen. Yea, stupid; I know. At least now I know I can fix it. Thanks again!

[@deandohertygreaser]

Any time

[@jorgepucay1648]

​@@deandohertygreaser Amigo mi batidora gira pero se escucha ruidos extraños , será que le falta lubricación?

[@wendydearn9851]

Fantastic video, so professional. Have a kitchenaid but think may get a professional to look at her. Can imagine losing most screws or forgetting where parts go back 😅😅

[@Tzuriah]

I really like this mixer…..fabulous green! Thx for the video. Very informative.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Thanks for watching!. i like this colour also. wouldn't mind getting one myself.

[@papabear2965]

How did you get it so clean? Did you use any cleaning products? Thanks for the informative video. 👍

[@giorgiomoretto6392]

Bella riparazione anche io ho cominciato come riparatore in assistenza elettrodomestici braun krupps 40 anni fa capitava anche all epoca ma i materiali erano molto piu robusti di oggi❤❤

[@stormkhan4250]

Question: why have a sacrificial part to save the motor should a jam occur instead of a racheting mechanism like in a drill gearbox/chuck? When it jams then the racheting mechanism engages and an audible sound is made to alert the user of jamming. No sacrificial part needed, no burnt out motor on jamming. Considering how expensive some of these appliances are surely they can adapt a similar mechanism from a drill gearbox?

[@andrewhorsburgh2549]

I find it is rather absorbing watching you work.

[@luizurol8598]

Congratulations! Nice job and helped me a lot

[@MM-fq9gi]

My Kitchen aid mixer was in storage for 25 years, it wouldn't run, turned out the the brushes were stuck and had corrosion where it had sat at the commutator. Once that was corrected, it worked fine, I went through the governor speed adjustment and put new grease in it.

[@davidsmart7341]

Great video, where did you get the parts from?

[@ileanamillan3040]

Enjoyed your video, you made it look so easy.❤

[@rinotutu]

thank you very much for your tutorial it allowed me to repair my machine

[@johnhanssenkolstad211]

Any recommendation as to what kind of food safe gear grease? Dismantled mine twice now to replace the gear, but haven’t removed the grease since I haven’t found a good safe replacement grease…

[@JNacht]

Kitchenaid sells it directly along with the gasket.

[@haroldoribeirogomes7103]

It's why this machine is so expensive. Very well designed.

[@robertknight4672]

These KitchenAid mixers were originally designed Buy Hobart the company that makes all the big commercial mixers with they use in bakeries in restaurants. Everything they made was designed to be serviced.

[@bigbadsubaru]

I've got a vintage one I have to fix, not sure of the exact age but it's a Hobart-made one, and by the speed control on it, it's pre-1979, Goodwill score lol

[@AltimaNEO]

My old one broke like this ages ago. Fixed it a long time ago and gave it to my parents

[@alexanderfedyna]

How should fuses be installed correctly, or more precisely, which side should face where (there are two large black bolts on both sides of the top cover)? What is the correct seating position for them? The mixer stopped working after I disassembled it following your video. What could be the problem?

[@LeroyMarshall-o8j]

Thank you, you made the repair easy, You are a greAt tech.

[@walter.bellini]

[@Skrueger999]

Consider that the plastic gear may be used so it strips out if you get a finger or other body part stuck in the mixer. Better to fix a few dollar part than a trip to the ER

[@penelopelgoss2520]

Interesting thought. 🤔

[@jacekparzoch2679]

very nice and informative video, can you tell me where you bought this part?

[@mahmoudksouri8550]

Professional job sir 🫡

[@JAMESMANHUNT9]

Picked up an artisan that wouldnr turn off for free. Turns out it must have fallen over cause the speed lever was bent down at the knob, all i had to do was hold down on rhe top of the motor and pull up on rhw knob with my other hand really hard i was able to figure out the problem by using my mom's heavy duty kitchenaid as a reference. I even changed the grease in rhe beater mech with new mac1 racing grease

[@deandohertygreaser]

You lucky duck, im looking to buy one myself and they are costing over 500.

[@giovannit.533]

Put extra attention to the brushes position: I had to try 3-4 different ways before making it work (it was silent, motor wouldn't even start).

[@brianbanks3044]

Wondering what they were mixing for that gear to burn right up...did mister homemaker decide to mix a small batch of nortar mix in the Mrs KitchenAid???

[@joller79]

Nice one..do u have the part number for that wormgear?

[@laidman2007]

Job well done!

[@Steve-Jody]

Why plastic when a Brass gear would be a better design. The thing is built like a beast with an Achilles Heel gear. Well done. Enjoyed .

[@wilkesysublime]

It's designed to break before you accidentally destroy the expensive motor or other more expensive gears.

[@connieleblanc4909]

I am unable to remove the pin in the "spinning head". It seems to be stuck. Any suggestions on how I can get it to come out?

[@deandohertygreaser]

Hammer and parallel punch

... einen Überlastungsschutz kann man auch anders bauen (elektronischer Überlastschutz), allerdings muss ich sagen, daß das Gerät trotzdem sehr gut gebaut ist.

Bravo! but they say that Kitchen Aid Artisan has metal gears, but it turns out it’s still the same plastic.

​@@penelopelgoss2520if you're talking a mixer that had a large and a small bowl I don't think it's a KitchenAid. You probably have an Oster, that the model had a somewhat similar name somewhat similar name. KitchenAid mixers only have one size bowl for each model.

Probably was mixing something and jambed the blades and the steel gear chewed the nylon gear. Probably made to do that rather than burn up the motor if machine jambs on something solid. Like someone's hand. 😢
