How to Professionally Clean/Tune/Calibrate Your Kitchenaid Mixer

You're a really great teacher! Thank You!!

Thank you

Did you get your thyroid taken out?

You could read Lorem Ipsum and make it entertaining to watch. Plus, you have a wealth of expert knowledge. Well done.

Hi Mr Mixer, if I had already replaced the speed control board, the governor, the speed control plate (and adjusted the screws accordingly) but the stir speed to speed 4 are all on the same fast speed (speed 6-10 is where the speed starts to increase). what else could be the problem?

In a sea of mixer videos yours are the best! Got the speeds dialed in but for some reason my mixer does not have sufficient power/torque and easily gets stuck when mixing butter or dough or anything causing resistance to the paddle. Any ideas? Thank you!!

I have a K5SS from 84 that I was gifted a few months ago. I regreased and repainted it. Although, even after adjusting the screws, it seems to be at max speed after number 2. Any suggestions? I've been thinking about getting a new speed board, considering it's age....

Cant get the screw back in, why?

Thanks for the info! I re-calibrated my mixer speeds and only shocked myself once when I accidentally touched the metal piece between the adjustment screws!

Nothing about gear grease?

Did this and a nut flew out when i was calibrating it. Im so upset

Hi there, my kitchen aid machine blowing green light from the side where the speed increase or decrease can you please help me what happens with it.?

Just went down a very long rabbit hole of your videos! Loving them! & now I'm wondering if there's something I can do about the grease that works is way thru the attachment head? It mixes into the meat when I tried my grinder attachment😢

Sent in our 35 year old KitchenAid mixer. Came back like new. New motor, control board and regreased. We are so happy with the results. Thanks guys.

Thanks for your help on this. Wife "dropped" her Artisan Kitchenaid, and when she turned it back on it made a horrible noise and stopped working. Watching a combination of 2 or 3 of these videos helped me order the parts I needed. Ended up repairing the spped controller and a broken gear. I went ahead and ordered the Ever Dime as a donation, and it was definitely beneficial. Thanks again, Mr. Mixer.

Do you have any video/guide for a commerical mixer?

Hello, I just found your Chanel and I’m happy because I’ve been looking to try to fix my problem.
I have a Artisan 5KSM150 AND EVERY time I use it, the bowl starts to dance around and if I don’t turn the machine out , it fall’s out. I changed the plate with the 3 screws on the bottom but still does it, what could I do. Get a new Bowl. ????
Thank you so much for any advice or help 😊 Best regards from Germany

Hi! My kitchen aid is moving slightly side to side when mixing dough, I have adjusted it using the dime test and the hinge pin was not lose. Is there anything else it could be internally? Thank you!

Is there a business where i can just take mine in for them to clean? Cus i might mess it up and lose a piece. Haha

thanks, amazing work. Any idea if my lock lever is not moving at all? the lever stays in one position and I cannot move it (unlock position)

Mr Mixer, please help! I have a Professional 6qt lift model. I have adjusted the height screw as far as I can, but when I put my whisk attachment in it is hitting the bottom of my bowl, to the point that I have a permanent circle scraped in the bottom of my mixing bowl and I had to throw out a huge batch of whipped cream because it got metal bits in it! My whisk is the only one that hits the bottom. I even bought a new whisk thinking there was something wrong with it. The height screw is turned as far as it can go. What can I do?

Hi, I really hope you can show us how to re-grease a professional 6000 HD kitchen-aid, thank you.

Hi Mr. mixer, are you going to do any new videos anytime soon and any giveaways? I have a few friends who are following you now as well.

Can I purchase the Everdime (sp) rubber washer for my mixer from you?

Another great video! As gross as the grease spill marks were, I can't get over how gorgeous that metallic mid-blue color is! It is obviously a limited edition blue shade by KitchenAid but the company should really offer that as a standard color choice. Would you know what the exact color is called by KitchenAid? Another question is: can the mixer speed also be calibrated in the bowl-lift KitchenAid mixers, particular the pro 600 series mixers? (and if so, did you make a video of it?) THANKS!!!

Thank you for this video--it was after cleaning the mixer per your guidance and starting to tune it that I realized my mixer's speed control plate has a crack in it, effectively keeping the bottom screw from being able to tighten or loosen at all. No wonder the speeds don't seem distinct! I've bought a replacement from you, and I will definitely refer to your video on installing a speed plate when it arrives!

(I've also bought an Everdime from you. :) )

quick question, bought a brand new KA Artisan 325 watt mixer about a year ago and it slows down and noticeably loses power under a load, esp like bread dough. (my daughter is a pastry chef so she KNOWS her mixers and what they are supposed to do) Contacted kitchenaid under the warranty and they simply sent a new one and didnt want the original one back. But I'd like to try and repair the first one, any thoughts on what I should look for ?

Love your channel. Found it while researching why my 1989 K445sswh mixer purchased for $15 at a yard sale wouldn't turn off with the switch. Learned how to adjust the board so it works fine now. Do have a question though. I adjusted the accessory height so that the batter paddle works fine with the dime, and I have to order a shorter dough hook. The one that came with it is 1 1/8" too long. I have two wire wisps that are too long. Are there different height wisp accessories for these mixers? Thanks again and expect a donation immediately!

I can't find parts for my Artesian Mixer....they're all on backorder! Any suggestions?

You should have a video on fixing the oil leak as it`s just going to leak more and more down the road. The grease needs to be replaced as it gets older it separates just like the sour cream in your fridge.

Hi, do you have a video on how to tune a Kitchen Aid Professional 5 Plus? Mine goes extremely fast just on the first speed throwing flour EVERYWHERE 😭

In your opinion, what is the best stand mixer? I would like to get one but do not know what to get.

Greetings from jerri @ "kitchenaidrepairwithcare" in Oklahoma! 😄 I looked for that video, I would like to see a video on replacing the levers (speed control & lock) as we received a machine that says 'working' but full of bugs nest, bent levers and beauty band that you couldn't hardly read and a bent base (wonder how they did all that?!) Definitely needs complete overhaul (motor copper brushed, everything, so would be nice to see complete break down and put back. We are buying your whole store just giving much needed TLC on this one classic solid state tilt, if you run into an extra beauty band will take. We have another we haven't even looked at yet.

What about replacing the front gear for attachments. Mine won't turn...what's wrong?

I finally got my mixer up and running again after a bit of headache! Your videos were extremely helpful during the process.

My problem ended up being that plastic arm that pushes the speed control plate back and forth had partially melted after I overheated the mixer. I replaced that arm (after first trying to replace the phase control board and the speed control plate itself with no luck) and it finally works perfectly now.

I wasn’t able to find any videos on this issue on your channel (or anywhere else online). Could be an idea for a future video! Because with that piece being plastic, and overheating the mixer likely being a common mistake, I’m sure there are others with the melted arm issue out there.

Thanks for your help!

Hey, appreciate your videos. I've been able to address most of the issues I've had with my mixer. Just wondering if you've got a solution for the metal bowl coming loose on the artisan mixer? I've tried a couple of "fixes" I've found on line, but no luck....

I need a switch for my pro600. Where can I get it

Do you know what may be the cause of a sputtering motor sound at low speeds?

Hello Mr. Mixer, Love your videos! Picked up a used KSM96, and got it all adjusted and greased thanks to your videos. The only thing I can't seem to fix is a very squeaky governor/fan shaft. Sounds like the noise is coming from the shaft and bushing contact between the governor and fan. I tried applying some oil and grease without removing the speed controller, but it doesn't seem to penetrate. Any ideas?

This was a great video. I will be doing this after I fix my current problem. My KitchenAid mixer lock lever is stuck in the middle and doesn't want to move either way. The head is locked in the downward position. Is there a simple fix for this? Thank you!

Thanks. I fixed my mixer so it works noiselessly.

when should you change you brushs? its a k5ss older machine!

I need an ASMR video of you cleaning all the different models of the mixers

What do I need to do to be in for the mixer drawings?

Just subscribed to this channel. I have a 1984 or thereabouts KitchenAid. I think it's 5.5 cups. It's a phenomena machine and has been for all this time, but I think it needs a serious servicing. I'll probably find a pro nearby, but at least I won't feel stupid when I discuss what needs to be done to it.

Hi there. I just saw your short video about the tornado and damage to your property, and to the neighbours' houses, too. Wishing you the best. You're lucky you were not at home at the time, though. All the best to you.

Just today was gifted a KitchenAid Stand Mixer Classic Plus from a local Buy Nothing Group on Facebook by a woman in the nicer part of town.

She said the mixer was leaking oil and she wanted to give it away. I alluded to the fact that these machines can be fixed—thinking of your TikTok and that she’d keep it and send it out for repair—she insisted on giving it away and chose me, luckily. So picked it up.

Now I just got done following this guide video to clean up and adjust it. I had no idea it’d be this easy to do. I may have to calibrate the speeds, but it seems fine–oh, and my mixer has the spring mechanism of the older models!

Anyway, thank you so much for this. Let my pizza and bread making journey begin!

Hi, not sure if you are inclined to answer questions that are not related to the video, but I guess asking does not hurt. I am in Europe. I have in front of me a US Kitchen Aid that is almost new, and an incomplete 230V Kitchen Aid that I have used for parts. So naturally, I will take out the motor from the latter and put it into the former, so I can run it without a transformer. Mechanically that's easy, but since I don't know that much about motors I wonder if I need to change the stator as well, or if all the differences are in the rotating part. Thank you in advance!

I have a question. I scored a kitchenaid model g on eBay and it worked fine for a week and then when I was making brownies the planetary stopped turning what caused this and have you worked on these they are similar to the Hobart n50
