KitchenAid Grease & Repair?

[@DixieGirl9876]

Very nice! I have my grandmother's old stand mixer, and have always wanted to have it re-worked. Such a blessing having a mechanical minded person at hand.

[@sherryleach2995]

Oh my goodness that grease looked horrid. Thank goodness Mr. Volfie has the knowledge to be able to repair the kitchen aid. I wouldn't know the first thing about dismantling it. Thank you Bev and Mr. Volfie. Much love from Thunder Bay Ontario.

[@marthaholcomb8148]

Oh man, I never knew that grease would pack up hard like that. Great job, Howard!

[@rachelb5047]

Amazing!!! You are so lucky to have such an Amazing man to help... He Loves you so much and WE can see this ❤ And yes, my first comment to you after all these years watching and learning from you... THANK YOU😊

[@annakasper6141]

I am grateful that you & Howie made this video. I got a mixer 2nd hand and it would probably be smart for me to do this to ensure that it keeps working well. Thank you for taking the time to show & explain each step Howie!

[@deborahc1402]

Howie is the best, love how he explaines stuff while he works a project. thanks Howie.

[@wilmatravaille1640]

I did mine a few months back. You tube has several tutorials online and kitchen aid has a very good parts list. Keeping track of all screws and parts is key. I had to order a black knob and a gasket and it came in two days. Kitchen aid is the best and lasts through years of hard use! Thanks Howie!

[@FarmFreshIB]

It is nice to see a machine with enough QUALITY to be able to repair these days.

[@melodyrae5076]

What a job I was shocked at the transformation of the grease it’s amazing that it even moved with that hard grease.

[@happyrapture1370]

Thank you Howie for taking the time to teach us how to do this. I am saving this video. God bless

[@shawnsisler3743]

Thank you! Thank you!!!! Thank YOU!!!! My KA has been making a growly noise too and I've been digging trying to find out how to pull her apart and clean her... :D Thank you!!!

[@debbiealtman4572]

Wow. What a transformation. That’s great you have two mixers now.

[@kathykrause8336]

Good job Howard. No folks, that isn't one of Bev's pastry brushes. Even though I use them for pastry brushes also. My husband is a body shop man also and he would bring me home tons of them to use in my kitchen. He also brought me body filler squeegees. They make excellent bench scrapers. I love your videos Bev and Howie

[@CarnivoreChristian777]

I have a kitchenaid from 2006 that I set aside and went and bought a new one last year. Where you put your attachments on the whole thing falls out with a big gear on top but it works great for awhile if you pound it back in! LOL!. They use to last forever ...my white one from 1987 is still going strong and the new one can't compete with it. Very awesome that you can fix them!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It's missing the PIN a little pain that how he pulled out

[@CarnivoreChristian777]

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead Thank you! I did not expect a reply... I gave up on it. After I saw y'all fixing the mixers I looked on the web and kitchenaid/whirlpool says their 2006 professional series has a design flaw. No pin so they quickly returned to the pre 2006 design. Thinking they should of recalled them! They will give me 50% off towards a new mixer but I have no desire or means to buy another one right now so it will stay in my appliance graveyard. Still I would of never known without your video and I do find that very generous of them after 14 years. God Bless you!

[@pambooth7995]

Wow. He is a keeper!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@faukerconsulting835]

😊Dearest Howie...thank you tremendously for sharing your skills with us!!! ☝🏻I have a husband EXACTLY LIKE YOU and my husband, who is a mechanical engineer, feels he can go find and get a couple of kitchen aid stand mixers and creat me a beastly monstrosity of a stand mixer 🙄...WISH ME WELL🤪

[@rachelcompton4625]

WOOHOO First time I've seen the sticker on the car!!

[@cynthiaweathers6979]

I missed the episode explaining what happened to Howie's arm. I hope he's going to completely recover. God job on the mixer.

[@rosejarman6920]

This was really a great tutorial! I think if I follow along I could actually grease mine. These kinds of video's help us single/widowed women be able to do things. Like basic plumbing, it was 300 and some odd dollars for a guy to come out put washers in 3 different facets and a new toilet insert. Sucks. I went too Lowes and asked if they did classes for this sort of thing and they don't so any of these video's I am very interested in.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

He said he still has to put my Christmas faucets on my sink

[@pamspantry8047]

Bowie is doing a great job demonstrating your pastry brush lol. Enjoyed watching! I have a red kitchen aid. Interesting to see the inside of one and how to clean. Ty

[@pamspantry8047]

Howie

[@mccoyboy420]

I bought my kitchennaid at a thrift store a few years ago for really cheap because it was "leaking" brown stuff and they didn't think it worked. I new the grease had just separated and that it would be any easy fix!! They were all jealous when I went back and told them I got it up and running!

[@aldod3937]

Wow the inside of that machine is incredible I didn't know it takes that much grease

[@kellykellykelly3535]

BEV!! You’re so lucky! A good looking man who fixes things, especially your mixer. I’m jealous! Hahahha!

[@CleverEwe]

Thanks so much for another How Howie Does It!

[@scottborders1844]

This is the stuff i like to see and i like howie glad to see you have a great guy

[@marciajones6479]

I am asking for prayers for another KZbinr. Her channel is freaking frugal. Apparently she was standing to close to her fireplace, and her clothing caught fire. She is in the icy burn unit. Prayers please.

[@PurpleRosesPurpleRoses]

Prayers going up for her 😥....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Icu burn unit. Darn autocorrect

Oh no!! I watch her! I will pray like crazy. So sad.

[@lunayahwitch]

Hey Bev, what kind of grease was that that Howie used for the gears? I have an older lift model and I need to do this rehab to her too

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It's food grade stand mixer grease you can get it from Amazon

[@lunayahwitch]

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead thank you👍🏼

[@jenniferclark9367]

Great job! Helped this single gal how to fix up a KichenAid. Just wondering what happen to Papa's arm? Hope he feels better soon. 💕

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

He has two small tears in the rotator cuff of his right shoulder that God he's left-handed it's why he's off work right now

[@SuperMinicow]

Love this! Good to see to fix mine!

Awesome Howie! That was a mess inside that one oh my....you got er right again Howie!!

[@albanymtnlife]

Thanks Howie for sharing, now all the husbands can fix our mixer's...lol jk

[@Jomama02]

Way to go Howie! Bev, you could of done that yourself with a bit of instruction...now you know how to change the grease in one and can do it next time!

Nope not while I'm still married to this amazing man

Thanks Howie. How do I routinely oil my kitchen aid? Great video.👍

I would do this a minimum every other year

Thank you thank you! ☺

Great Job Howie, & Bev

[@patprettyman3792]

I also have the old white one, and it sounds like yours now that Howie fixed yours.

[@kathybradley9873]

Thank you so much for filming this. I learned so much during the video. I have a KitchenAid that needs to be looked at, now I have an idea on how to do it. Was that a food grade lithium grease you used?

[@mollysmith6055]

Wow...that looked painful seeing the guts all spread out like that. My KA is over 15 years old and should be regreased surely. Not sure if I can get hubby on board with doing it.

[@Ken0604]

Bev at the end of the video it didn't look like the back of the mixer was seated all the way down. Might have just been the angel of the camera but you might have Howie check it. Might be why it didn't sound quit right. The first time I did mine I didn't have a video to watch on how to take it apart and put it all back together. I bet I called the manufacture about 10 times to make sure I was doing it correctly. Sorry about the Cowgirl was hoping it would be around for a few more years. If you can I would keep the whole mixer never know when you will need a part from the old one.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It was fine he just tightened it down after I

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

That's exactly what we're going to do

[@wandagoddard9118]

Howie seems to have some trouble with one of his arms. Hope its ok. Thank you for the good video.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

He has a damaged Rotator cuff on his right shoulder. His is in physiotherapy. But thank GoD he is left handed.

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

What kind of grease did Howie use? It would be good to know in case I ever need to do this!

[@amyhawkins7140]

[@susanhopkins3324]

Hand sanitizers are most alcohol. Most of us have that now.

[@evapereira3093]

good job mr v :)

[@brianarrington4569]

Why not fix them both ?

[@donnarichey144]

That is your new one? Thats terrible.My husband works on boat motors and got an old electric coffee pot at a thrift store and puts vinegar in it and puts carburator parts and cleans them really nice. I have an electric kettle and it was caked with calcium or whatever and poured vinegar in it and let it soak all night and it cleaned it.

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

Wouldn’t liquid hand sanitizer work in place of rubbing alcohol.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

howie did not want to introduce something not food grade. hence the vinegar

[@dianehoney8332]

Maybe steam would benefit?

[@lynner1770]

Hmmm the loss of a pastry brush might be worth it

[@Moona1966]

I'd gladly trade ALL my pastry brushes for a hubby that fixes things, Bev! :) EDIT: What is the white stuff Howie used?

[@Jomama02]

It was the actual grease to lube up the gears!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It's food grade kitchen grease specifically made for stand mixers you can get it at Amazon

Kitchen aid products arent as good as they use to be. My blender just went up. Three years old, I paid a hundred and fifty dollars.

You want a KitchenAid mixer pre 1987
