Unboxing and dismantling a brand new Kitchenaid Artisan 5KSM185PSBCA food mixer.

[@luckylukekansai9594]

Dean you’re a true hero ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bought a KitchenAid Artisan at Costco here in Japan and while I was instantly impressed by its tank like build there seemed to be an issue with the speed control straight out of the box. Speed would be the same when on 1 and 2 and again on 8 and 10 leaving only 4 discernable different speed settings: 2-4-6-8 I just removed the back cover and and it took 2 seconds to realise that my unit must have been assembled by either a disgruntled employee or a sneezing chimpanzee as the top screws were visibly badly misaligned. With my steel ruler very much like the one you used I measured the left screw at 12.5mm, the right one at 8mm and the bottom one at 4mm ! Quickly rectified this following your instruction, plugged it in and now finally have it switching properly through all 10 speeds. Brilliant! If life ever takes you to Osaka (We’re hosting next year’s World Expo) let me buy you a few pints at Murphy’s or at The Blarney Stone. Cheers mate 🍻 🍀

[@deandohertygreaser]

Nice one. Glad you got it up and running correctly. Setting the speeds is probably the most difficult part of repairing them. How you liking the artisan. I'm loving mine, baking away ar scones, cakes, and pancakes.

[@luckylukekansai9594]

@@deandohertygreaserI’ve used it 2 or 3 times a week for the last 3 months and even one legged as it was it easily tore through anything I threw at it, a lot of bread dough, whipped cream to make no churning rum raisin ice cream, cake and muffin batters and even mincing pork and beef cuts for meatballs and bolognese sauce as it came with the grinder attachment. I love it except perhaps the polycarbonate splash guard. Just had it knead dough for a 1.5 loaf of Hokkaido milk bread that is absolutely fantastic. Today is a good day thanks to you🙏🏻

[@ashleybignell2366]

I've got to say your knowledge on everything you work on is second to none. You're like an encyclopedia. They way you emphasize potential problems & fixes that aren't there shows your experience. Very enjoyable to watch. As a tradesman i like to fault find & repair, & youv'e certainly given me a new outlook on repairing my tools instead of throwing & replacing them.

[@rogerhodges7656]

My mother got her KitchenAid mixer soon after she married in 1955. She used it regularly until she died in 2021. My niece has and is using it now. It has had replacement brushes, cord, mixer blades and bowls over the years but no mechanical repairs. The white paint is worn thin and off at the top where mom rested her hand on the mixer while using it.

[@JDLarge]

Funny… My sis bought me one for Christmas, a gloss black beauty. The wife just walked by and peeked at my screen saying “whatcha watch… oh hell no, don’t even think about it!” Tears, tears are falling I’m laughing so hard. One might get the feeling that I’m not afraid to tear ANYTHING down to see what makes it tick lol! She also said to be sure and thank you for doing this so I don’t have to hahahaha!!! Thanks Dean👍🏼👍🏼😉

In Canada we use the Robertson head screws for all our construction wood screws. Torx is becoming more common, but Robertson is still like 99% of the market here.

[@martin2514]

This is so much better than jeryrig everything. This has convinced me to buy the better half one.

[@darkerbinding6933]

We've had our Kitchenaid mixer for >20yrs and it will likely outlive me 😆. The attachments that run off that front drive port on the head are also very well made and really useful. One machine can do the work of a lot of different ones. I hope you enjoy your mixer!

[@markc1828]

I love the meat mincer attachment so I can make my own burgers

[@harpintn]

@@markc1828 My mom has her mom's meat grinder. It has made a lot of food over the decades. I remember turning the crank for hours making Chow Chow, and Tomato Chutney when I was growing up.

[@somegeezer4840]

Dean is making that dough in more ways than one 😆😂

[@roger10coutinho]

That grease looks delicious! Thanks for the x ray in the brand new KitchenAid.

[@robertknight4672]

One thing you missed here was that in the head of a mixerhead where the motor is, the speed control pushrod is made out of plastic which is already known to melt. The pushrod on I used to be made out of metal antenna metal spring across it that held it away from the motor. Fortunately Mr mixer remanufacturers this part in metal and it comes with the spring.

[@cidercreekranch]

We hand the classic model for over 30 years. The coated hooks don't like the dishwasher since the coating will peel off.

[@1978JonBullock]

Dean, my wife bought a 1980s kitchen Aid from Etsy a couple of years ago. Cracking piece of kit.

[@philgallagher1]

"Place the head of one screwdriver against the pin and hit it with the handle of another screwdriver"... Proof, once more, that EVERYTHING is a hammer!! NB re: Robinson's screws. Ask any Canadian and they'll tell you they're the very best screw and driver you can buy. (Needless to say Mr. Robinson was Canadian!) It makes me wonder if KitchenAid is a Canadian company?

[@harpintn]

An American that has encountered Robinson screws will tell you that they are garbage and a real PITA when you try using them with a driver.

[@jasonbuckler190]

Woodworker, love Robertson/square drive, especially when doing decks or constructing/attaching cabinet carcasses. Most woodworkers prefer them, didn't know they were going I to machines noadays

[@jasonbuckler190]

​@@harpintnYou're doing it wrong then, never strip. American in Oz

[@harpintn]

@@jasonbuckler190 I have driven thousands of screws over the years. I know what I am doing.

[@mikenygaard8982]

i want to see you use this machine in a kitchen :D make a cake using this machine !. Greatings from Denmark!

[@darylhudson777]

Another thing I'd like to purchase myself is one of those heated Ultrasonic Cleaner tanks the largest one I can afford because for big parts those are great and then you can walk away from that particular job letting all the parts to clean themselves and don't have to stand over the parts cleaner brushing parts for hours which takes away the hours you can be repairing tools.

[@jurgenjager8657]

Congratulation🎉 I'm dreaming so many years from a original KitchenAid. In my kitchen works so well a fake machine, also in red, from the Discounter Lidl. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Is that Silvercrest?

Yes Sir

Really interesting, we have one of these

[@tonydaddario4706]

Bearings have gone. :) Who knew you were a new baking man Dean?

[@2chipped]

Nicely done! Rhere is a channel called mixer guy that can order upgraded parts,including a spring. My mixer is 15 yrs old and going strong.

[@JamesBurke-yt9wc]

Dean you have a great pair of hands and I might say the most televised pair but when you were unboxing the mixer you almost exposed the rest of your self.great video

[@harpintn]

Check out Lock Picking Lawyer all he ever shows is his hands as well.

[@JamesBurke-yt9wc]

@@harpintn Wow the lock picker shows less fore arm than Dean

[@reallunacy]

I'm more interested than I should be. I actually received a hand me down commercial KitchenAid that I've been debating breaking down to check it's grease.

[@EricMySelf990]

He has at least 2 or 3 more videos of older KitchenAids that may help as well.

[@harpintn]

My inner 10 year old is very happy watching this video.

[@fishsick]

You're now at the point to takeover AvE's BOLTR videos, given he no longer makes anything like them.

[@bigshantolifting]

Uncle bumblefuck only shills products these days

[@redfishgrouper]

Awesome

[@fredholmes6284]

Empire Red.. £429..that's the price in England now on Amazon Dean..👍

[@rodpatient9]

We don't actually have a Kitchen Aid, but we do have a 50 year old cordless version - a wooden spoon! 🤣 You've inspired me Dean, I'm now off to make a batch of cheese scones (mixing with the wooden spoon!)

[@damon1588]

Good one

[@gplusgplus2286]

I have an old Braun KM32 mixer that is also built like a tank. I have all attachments (bought some from amazon de over the years) and two motors for it but I'm looking for a kitchenaid just for having a metal bowl, the Braun has a plastic bowl so no italian meringue with it.

[@AlexKall]

Sounded a bit better after the rebuild, perhaps just a difference on the video and not in real life? Anyways, nice video!

[@YpsilonXY]

We will see you make make more cakes now. 💪🏻👍🏻

[@deandohertygreaser]

Maybe

[@michaelflynn6178]

Are we going to see some bread or cake recipes 😊

[@kevinhewitt1428]

Minor correction. Robertson has a taper, square head doesn't. You don't know what you're getting, when buying a square head now, as they might be selling you a Robertson, and calling it a square drive.. They cam out at different torques.

[@darylhudson777]

And one more thing in order to know how to adjust that speed you could refer back to this video and listen to that lowest setting matching it to the machine you're working on

[@deandohertygreaser]

That's exactly want I was thinking. Wanted to give people a reference point

[@darylhudson777]

@@deandohertygreaser Thanks Brother as I plan on getting another one. I had a white one with the white mixer paddle and dough hook, the whisk was stainless. Mine never chipped the paint or leaked. Going slow on the speed increase also keeps the contents from flying out when you do not have the splash guard in place. I am telling people about your channel. I hope you are able to get a heated ultrasonic tank soon. God bless you and your family and you boss and other employees also.

[@bigdavedownunder]

Oh no warranty void of opened lol

[@roger10coutinho]

Strange how the speed selector goes 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10!

[@greentjmtl]

There are notches between the numbers if you want to fine tune the speed, but most of the time not necessary. Except 1, which is why it's marked.

[@robertknight4672]

In the United States depending on when the KitchenAid was made and what model it is sometimes sometimes speed number one is labeled as stir.

[@daverichmond2846]

Scones please. 👍🏻

[@deandohertygreaser]

Tomorrow

[@daverichmond2846]

I’ll bring the Jam n cream! 😀

[@capk387]

Hmm why not just use a mixer drill - you have had some total classic ones over the years

[@ashleybignell2366]

I'm interested to see how your warranty would pan out now you've personally stripped it down? Even though someone like yourself is more competant than their own service engineers.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Amazon, you would just return it. But no, seriously, how often do these need a warranty repair

[@fizzygumable]

why did you not bake a cake

[@ecc84]

Have you not just invalidated the warranty ;-) lol

[@deandohertygreaser]

Yes, but I think I'll be OK 👍

[@Justicesdad]

Deans a walking talking warranty lol

[@darylhudson777]

I got to say that I would have redistributed that grease that whoever put that in there maybe they were on a factory line and just got to where they're just working it in there and they don't even care and they're not even paying attention but that grease did not look like it was put around those gears properly and if you want the thing to work more properly scrape it off of that area where the gears but hey I'm the kind of guy that would clean off clean off the outside of the tools repaint the lettering and probably wouldn't make as much money doing a repair job, but I do jobs like I would want them to be done for my own tools.

[@tdotw77]

These things are just great tools to have in the kitchen! Alot of accessories are available that mount to the 'PTO' drive on the front - meat grinders, pasta makers, etc. I got one for free, from a pile of free stuff someone left when moving out. Have to buy the bowl & mixing bits but still cheaper than buying a brand new one - usually around $239. here in USA. 👍🏻👌🏻🍽️🥣🥚

*Robertson #2 not Robinson 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔😆
