Mixer Fixer - KitchenAid Repair

I picked up this late-80s KitchenAid mixer from someone who had purchased a new one because this one “wasn’t running right.” She really didn’t want to get rid of it because it had been a gift from her mother.

After disassembling it for a full inspection and cleaning, I found the gears were actually in perfect condition. The real issue turned out to be a loose rear bearing bracket and a failed speed control plate.

I’ll be giving her a call to offer the mixer back for my regular service price before I list it for sale. These older machines are built extremely well and are often worth repairing.

If your KitchenAid mixer isn’t running right, feel free to message me.

Why is my KitchenAid mixer leaking oil?

If you ever see oil dripping from the bottom of your mixer like this, don’t panic — it’s a very common issue.

KitchenAid mixers use food-grade grease inside the gearbox. When a mixer sits unused for long periods of time, the grease can separate and the oil can slowly leak out.

This doesn’t mean your mixer is ruined. Most of the time it just needs:

• Internal cleaning
• Fresh food-grade grease
• Inspection of the gears and seals
• Speed calibration

After a full service, most mixers run like new again.

If your mixer is leaking oil or making noise, feel free to send a message.

This mixer was having speed control issues. After removing the speed control plate and rear bearing housing we found the speed control board had failed and needed to be replaced.

This mixer came in making a horrible grinding noise. After opening it up we found stripped gears and a cracked gear housing. The damaged parts were replaced and the mixer was fully cleaned and regreased.
