Former Hobart KitchenAid tech here. Most of my in-home repairs were dishwashers that were "fixed" by the husband first. These mixers are very reliable, most common problem is the fiber gear in the gearcase because people tend to go full speed from the start instead of gradually increasing. Highly recommend Echo Red Armor grease, it's better than what the factory uses. Just sold my original K5A stand mixer, it was in perfect condition and the serial number showed it was made in 1942!

[@davidsmith385]

You know if it was made then, it's made well.

Hey, can the motor burn out? Mine had a funny smell for a while, thought maybe some flour got in and was burning, but popping the lid I could not see anything. Then it just stopped.

[@skysurfer9655]

@@JohnDlugosz Well yeah, it's possible. A lot of doughnut shops would try to use these instead of buying a commercial mixer and they weren't made for that. Under residential use I would suspect the electronic speed control in the back of the mixer but I can't tell you how to test it, they came out about the time I changed careers.

[@bretthampton2050]

I have worked on a bunch of these mixers. When you get no power, the first thing to check is the brushes. People take off the black caps to see what is under them. Since they are spring loaded they pop out and people just push them back in. I bought one recently that was "not working". I got it super cheap and all it needed as the brushes put in correctly. I even found somebody selling one on Marketplace as "not working". I told them what to check and it fixed it.

[@bretthampton2050]

Also, Mr. Mixer is a great resource if you want to fix or regrease your mixer. He is also super friendly and helpful.

[@doramather4729]

I brought a stand mixer for my neighbor on e Bay. My husband took apart and serviced it clean out the old grease and put new grease. It purrs like a new mixer and she loves it and my husband said with this service she will have this mixer for years.❤😊

[@SirBig]

You can tell how pumped Steve was while repairing this KitchenAid, you should bring more content like this!

[@AnonymousMycologist]

I just re-greased my mixer just like this one two weeks ago. I noticed the adjustment screw in this one IMMEDIATELY when you took that cover off, because my first instinct was also to "tighten that loose screw" as someone had clearly done with this one, but I noticed it affected the speed of the mixer, so I put it back, and even made some finer adjustments to make the minimum speed lower. Great video!

Now you're in my wheelhouse! I used to fix KitchenAids, Sunbeams, Mr. Coffee drip brewers, toasters...you name it. It put me through college, and I could tear these down in my sleep (this was in the mid-80's, for context.) Not infrequently, the thing that would go on these is the big honkin' ceramic capacitor on the motor. That would also give off that distinct "burnt" smell.

I really think someone else was in there and was fiddling with things after it didn't work right they said screw it and slapped it back together the best they could and sold it.

[@famousamoso7]

My dad was working on his mixer. Spent hours taking it apart, cleaning and going through the entire process. Got it back together and tested it and it didn’t work. I being a tech support guy asked some routine questions of my step mom to which she said when it was having its intial issue she removed the brushes. (Which we didn’t know about) she removed both at the same time and didn’t know they had to go in on a specific side and way. After we switched them it worked again.

[@stazeII]

Still watching, but the grease is famous for separating. It's a pretty easy process to get all the old stuff out and replace with good quality grease. See tons of old ones at Goodwill that have separating grease. Have replaced grease on probably a dozen of these for friends. Super simple, but messy job (as you’ve seen). :)

[@volvo09]

Do they just get loud when the grease fails? This one sounded good as new once the grease was replaced.

@@volvo09 Yes, they get really loud as the metal gears start hitting each other, same with the plastic gear present in the system to. This can wear them out fast if the grease isn't properly replaced.

In 1980 I bought one of these directly from Hobart/Kitchenaide that was 230V. 50/60hz. as a present for my mother-in-law that was returning to Poland (Europe).

I would love to see you try to fix a sewing machine like a bernina. Those are made to last swiss made machines unlike most machines that are practically disposable. Records are mechanical, models 1000-1030 are mechanical with some digital parts (boards, but no screens) and anything after that increasingly became more digital until now almost all of them are fully digital. I have a 1030 and had a 1011 before that. I love the mechanical sewing machines as they are workhorses and still used to this day. Most common model is the 1008 models that schools and hollywood love to use so you can find plenty of them on ebay and elsewhere.

Those Kitchenaid Mixers to my pretty fair knowledge the only ones on the market today, that are still almost built to the same standard as many decades ago. No other Consumer Manufacturer would nowadays offer such a thick metal enclosure, a metal linkage actuated 9(?) speed control with a custom-made fully open contact-block, and at last surely not create a drivetrain that offers this much headroom and still not budge during its most demanding scenario - even after decades of use!

[@johnnyb362]

I had to fix my wife’s last month. It looks like your speed may be set a little high. The two top screws on the speed controller set the high speed and the single one is for low. You break loose the lock nuts on the top screws, turn the mixer to speed 6 and adjust those till the mixer rotates 30 times in 10 seconds (hold something so that the planetary grazes it as it passes and time it with your phone). Then you adjust the bottom screw till it rotates once per second on stir (setting one). You may have to go back and forth between the two settings till you get them right but once you do, lock the nuts on the two top screws down and you’re good to go. If you feel comfortable you can make the adjustments with the mixer running. Just don’t touch any of the contacts. ⚡️⚡️

Personal story. I recently bought a KitchenAid mini mixer. I use it for pizza crusts, grinding meats, making sausage, but I tried a few loaves of bread. One particular bread recipe said to keep it on medium until a particular consistency was achieved. Said it might take over 15 minutes. I kept going, checking, continuing. Noticed it getting warm to the touch, but let it go. When I noticed whisps of smoke coming from the motor, I shut it down. Curious if this owner did something similar. My mixer survived, and still works fine. I'm wondering the previous owner of your video was making the same recipe, buy just kept going, and fried it. Cool video. KZbin decided to recommend it to me.

I’ve done lots of repairs on greasy things mostly forklift parts and axles.. I can smell the grease thru the video .. lol Used grease has a sulfur smell almost but not as pungent as gear oil .. I’m really impressed since this seems to be your first time fixing something like this.. a few hints of advise .. invest in a dead blow hammer so you don’t need to use a hammer and paper towel.. use the smaller punch to line up the holes when replacing the dowel pin, it’s just easier especially if there is slop .. also more grease is better.. lack of grease is what damages gears..otherwise great job

Thank you very much. I found a question on Ifixit related to PS4 repair, where your comment was that the blue ray ribbon cable has "ears" which can rip off if you handle it wrong. Had a PS4 with Blue-ray drive and power/eject buttons that didn't work anymore. After checking the ribbon cable I realized that this could be the issue. Moving that cable a little bit fixed it. Also i learned much about fixing devices from your content in the past. Keep the good work. You are a hero :)

Great fix. I have my son's RC car I tried to fix. Thought it would be easy. Thought it was a bad motor but got a new one on and it still didn't work. I'd love you fix an RC car. You're looking good hope you are feeling well too.

Did the same thing with one of the larger bowl lift mixers, $50 and the cord had been cut off. ALL the gears were stripped internally. $100 in parts later and it's been working great for years.
