- I apologize in advance for the quality of this video!
This Kitchenaid mixer ran great, it was sent in for maintenance, which is necessary to keep them running well for years to come. We replaced the grease and gasket, checked the brushes and bearing, lubricated the rear bushing, lubricated the lift arm, and checked the cord.
We are on Facebook / vintage-mixers-and-mor...
Thank you very much for your detailed video! After watching my husband feels encouraged and enabled to take our old mixer apart. He is very much appreciative of your willingness to put yourself out there to help people. I'm excited to extend the life of my vintage KitchenAid.
hi, just bought one of these secondhand, so helpful of you to make such an informative video! thanks!
4 years later and you saved me! My stupid lever wouldn’t turn off. Then I played with it and got it stuck in the off position. Now I see the 4 screws that I missed. Definitely going to get the red grease. Thanks Broski! Didn’t feel like kicking out $400+
How did you degrease? Your voice is very easy to listen to and very reassuring, thanks for this video
Thank the gods for you! The shop where I used to get my 20-year-old KSM5 maintained is now retired/closed. I took it to a vacuum repair shop and the guy said, "I ain't touchin' that unless it's Hobart.". Well, dang, mine has Whirlpool guts. Thank you so much for this video! I feel like I can do this.
Thank you brother!!, just fixed up my moms old mixer, following your lead! feel like I'm cooking with her again ❤
Thanks! I was following along, and taking my mixer apart and when I saw all the old grease, I almost panicked, thinking: I just need to take this to someone. But your voice was so reassuring, that i just kept cleaning away the grease, and now I'm really proud of doing my own maintenance
Awesome!! Its pretty overwhelming at first, and the grease they use can get downright nasty, but Im glad you persevered!!
Got a never washed, poorly-maintained KSM5 from a relative who decided it was leaking too much nasty oil into their food to use anymore. I was able to disassemble, detail, degrease, grease, replace the worm gear, install a new gasket, and adjust the speed controls. All thanks to this video. It looks and works like new. Thanks so much for posting this. When I pulled the metal ring off it was completely full of oil from the old grease.
Thats awesome, nice job!!
Where did you order the gear/parts from?
Thank you for this - bought a very similar 4.5-qt bowl-lift off Craigslist for $50, and while it worked well, it was direly in need of new grease - as evidenced by the oil stain it left on my floor mat on the ride home. Going through and de-greasing and re-greasing now, thanks to your video.
You bet.. Sounds like you found a good deal! Yea, the grease leaves something to be desired. Have fun with your project!!
I think I would proactively replace the front bearing on every teardown relube, if it's a cheap part. I would have put a little wrap of good quality tape on that small cut on the ground wire's plastic to save the cord, but that's just me. Nice video, good narration, thanks!
It wouldnt hurt, thats for sure! Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
Thanks. I took out the brushes and could not get them back in right. Your video saved the day.
Thank You from La Pine Oregon
This is a really helpful, well-done video. I can't find a small appliance service shop here in southern Oregon, so I'm looking at doing my own teardown/inspection as part of trying to figure out if I've a motor problem or not. Your video makes me a lot more confident getting through the process!
Awesome! Good luck with your project, it seems very overwhelming but take photos before and during disassembly and you should be fine!
I just did mine. This other vid will help with speed control: ua-cam.com/video/HMRqoz3yKHE/v-deo.html
Very good explanation - clear explanations and concise video examples
Thank you!!
Good video for the most part. Wish you had shown how you cleaned all the grease out of the transmission area. Also, a list of tools for each part of the job would be helpful. And with that parts that would likely need to be replaced. I have ordered a new gasket, but, didn’t have it at the time of grease replacement, so, that will be about a week later. The rest is good. Thank you, William!
I recommend Mr. Mixer's channel. He usually goes into mor detail. ua-cam.com/video/h2RY-q6JQQw/v-deo.html
Excellent video. All the details and clear explanations made it possible for me to do the maintenance on my machine. Thanks your your time and effort.
Awesome, you bet, thanks!
Super helpful and I didn't notice any quality issues. Thank you.
I appreciate the video. Gave it a thumbs up. For the future you might want to be more sure that your hands are centered in the video. At different times I wanted to see what you were doing with the part in your hands but it was mostly out of view. Specifically, I was trying to see where are the washers were supposed to go. Thx.
Great info
Thanks
just a helpful suggestion, you should try and keep your work in frame, a monitor will help with that
Thank you so much for this video. I just changed out the worm gear in my ‘96 KSM5! Your video was most helpful!
Awesome, thanks!!
Thank you very much for this awesome video. Helps lot!!!
You've been a great help to my repair of my KSM150PSMC. Thank you for this.
I just bought a K5-A today for 50 bucks. It has a small amount of oil where things attach. And the screw cap holding the brushes was lost somehow when she brought it to me. I am interested and cleaning and making this machine work like a charm. I did notice some blackening to the brushes when I looked at them but they are the right length I believe. Just sooted it seems. But with its age that might be expected. I know nothing of mixers I just bake. Would be interested in chatting with you sometime. Very detailed videos... Good job! Subscribing.
Hi Tessie, nice find! Thank you for the sub also :) If you need to contact me, my contact info is here facebook.com/notes/vintage-mixers-and-more/new-price-list-effective-5162018/2406026369423000/
Thanks for this video my dude. I was able to do everything by myself.
Good video, although you should always use food-grade grease, not automotive/industrial grade. There's a high likelihood it will leak at some point, and could well contaminate food. You can buy the right stuff on Amazon.
I have used it before at the request of a client, but I prefer using this, I have covered the reasons in other videos.
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 I can appreciate that, but years as a health inspector kick in...when they leak, and they do, it's not cool to have that in your cake batter when the beauty ring overflows. At any rate, it's still a good video. Thanks.
@@AnnainOK1hanks. This has been debated over and over, everyone has their preference. This is my position.. The kitchenaid grease tends to liquify at a much lower temperature, and breaks down much quicker, essentially guaranteeing it will leak, you can see this on most kitchenaids after a few years they are leaking not only into the trim ring, but also through the gasket, under the band, and into the rest of the housing. Using a far more stable grease, designed to keep its consistency over a long period of time, and in a wide range of temperatures, will keep it in the gearbox where it belongs.
If it starts to drop into the food I would throw the mix out either way. Who wants to eat gear grease even if it's food safe (probably containing metal dust)?!
Clean and inspect your equipment regularly, and spread new grease before it's completely separated.
I used crisco shortening. Worked fine for me. It is "food" even.
Really enjoyed your excellent video on KitchenAid stand mixer service. Just like brand new when yo finished. You folks helped me repair a Dormeyer Silver Chief stand mixer 3 or 4 yrs ago & it is still working strong. Have a family member with a KitchenAid Pro 600 with the lift lever linkage broken. Plastic part that connects lift lever & bowl cradle is broken. Can you guide me to a reliable website or store where you buy your KitchenAid parts?
Thank You Very Much, And Keep Up The Good Work.
Good video. Thanks for the advice about grease also.
Thanks!
Excellent. Just what I needed.
Great work man, thanks so very much for sharing.
Thanks!
Please correct the text that is shown for the CC (closed captioning) as some critical comments don't make sense. This is obviously a job that is complex and not for the faint of heart. Also, probably very expensive to have it done so perhaps as cheap to buy a new mixer. Check the repair price first vs new sale price!
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together! Very helpful.
Thanks, Im glad it helped!!
Thank you for a very detailed video. Curious as to what chemical you used to clean the old grease out of the head. I'm glad you didn't say something like, other machines aren't worth repairing.... I watched some videos years ago from others and they would claim that only the commercial-grade and top-line appliances were worth maintenance or fixing at all. Thanks for sharing your choices of lubricants and why, that's my style of offering information, too. time and tested products with particular benefits.
This video is great!!! My wife's mixer didn't work, so I followed your video step by step. The mixer is 20 years old and it had metal shavings inside the planetary. When I was done with the mechanical part, I tested it and it ran perfect. Then I moved on to the electrical part. When i was done with all that, I plugged it in and nothing. No hum, no buzz,... nothing. I know you weren't here, but what could I have possibly done? Please help!!!!
Check the brushes, if you removed them it is possible one of them is not seating correctly and not making contact with the armature. If it isnt that, it is most likely something else simple! Good job by the way, once you find the issue Im sure it will serve you a very long time!
Great vid! Sometimes you were moving your hands out of the range of the camera so there were a few things that were easy to miss, but other than that, this is fantastic keep making them.
Thanks! Yea, I am really not very good at recording, plus I don't have the right equipment, just do the best I can :)
Congratulations and thank you this is a great video mate!
Awesome video! I was wondering how many quarts the bowl is? Thanks!
You doing a great job........I learned from that
Great video! But, I am concerned about the grease. I would not want non-food grade machine grease dripping into my mixing bowl. It can happen. There’s a reason they make food safe machine grease.
These mixers were made by Hobart. So food safe grease is a no brainer.
I have this model can you tell or show us where the screw is to adjust the paddle in the mixer? My mixer does not mix at the bottom
Food grade grease is important
Excellent video. Thkss to you!!
Great video but the camera was not good, it did not pan up high enough to see the washer placement etc
Lucas Red and Tacky is not food grade Grease
How does one adjust the beater paddle height on this model? I see two screws on the stem, are they the adjustment screws?
Very informative....
I followed along every step. The problem I have is I have to back out the speed control plate screws much farther than yours just to get the speeds even close to normal. I took a lot of pictures before disassembling but none of the adjustment screws of course. Can you think of what mistake I may have made?
Also, I'm getting a chattering sound coming from the area of the brushes that I didn't have before. Brushes are new. Any idea what I may have done wrong here?
great job (too bad you didn't turn it on at the very end...missing not to hear the new fixed "music") anyway thanks for such complete tutorial.
Great video! I have a problem with the arms of mine. They are too lose when I lift it up and they shake a little when I use my mixer. I couldn’t see in your video if there is a screw we have to tighten inside the base, or anything I can do so that they don’t move as much. The lever seems to be working fine. Not sure if there are pieces inside that broke. I didn’t open mine yet, I’m just testing the water 😅
Hi laura! If the arm assembly is loose, it could be in need of an adjustment on the spring tension, you should see the nut and spring looking into the arm from under the mixer. It could also be something broken in the lift arm lever assembly, but really hard to say. When in the raised position, the spring keeps the tension on the arm, if it is loose, or something else inside is loose, it may not have enough tension.
great video! I followed your directions completely. However, when I run it through the speeds it starts smooth then starts a gear grinding noise. I made sure all the parts were placed the way you showed on the video. Didn't make the noise prior to the cleaning. Any suggestions?
I have this model. At the moment it runs on one speed only.
0 is off
Speed 1 to 10 (on the switch) is only speed one on the mixer.
Any clues what I should be checking first? I'm going to check the speed control switch, bit I'll probably check the gearbox anyway.
Thanks for the video. It will one very useful for me during my project.
It sounds like the speed control switch lever may not be making contact with the speed control plate? Check to make sure that it contacts the speed control plate and pushes it out as you move the lever. Other than that, I can only think of either the rear bearing plate nuts have really come loose, or the governor has come loose.
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 Thank you.for taking the time to reply.
I have this same mixer.

Help! My same model Kitchenaid stand mixer that hadnt been used in years was clearly leaking oil and making a bit of a grinding noise so I carefully took it apart , cleaned and regreased it. NOW IT WONT TURN ON! Yikes. I didn't unnecessarily touch any wires (it is possible i got the overload switch wires reversed though) and what I can see of the motor and wires etc looks intact and clean. Any help and suggestions are really appreciated!!!
i wanted to hear it when finished .
Do any of the KitchenAid mixers have a steel worm gear?
merci, merci beaucoup
good evening what do you charge to do the maintenance on one of these units
Where can I order a pair of brushes ? I am located in Adelaide area I Australia
I also have a Epicurean model. While the planetary is spinning it falls down causing the beater attachment to hit the bottom of the bowl, like the planetary is disengaged from the unit. Have you run across this problem. Been trying to find a local repair service, but no luck so far. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
For some reason my bowl wont fit back on after adjust screws:(:( Any tips?
Overall good. Often the camera does not show the work. A little frustrating.
How do you know if the gear is worn and that's the actual issue of the mixer not turning on and spinning?
I know you said there are probably plenty of videos on how to degrease, but no, not really. All just say they degreased it! Can you tell us how you got yours so clean? Thanks!
Thank You very much for this video. My good friend just gave me her KSM5 Mixer. Where do you get your parts from? Just in case i need them. Again thanks
Thanks!! I get a lot of them from here www.partselect.com/
Good luck!
Repairclinic.com is wonderful
Hi my dripring won’t fit do you know wat is the problem?
Thnx Michiel from Holland
I see you don't clean the rotor collector blades from the carbon of the used brushes? maybe is not important ?
Thank you so much for the in depth video. Yesterday as I was making bread in my mixer I turned my back to dig through my freezer. Mixer is on the under cabinet lift system and doesn't have any side rail...but it's getting two before it goes back into service. It crashed onto the floor pulling the power cord out of the housing. Ripped the ground wire right out of the terminal end but the black and white female connectors remained attached to the wires. I was so worried about the necessary disassembly to repair it and you have eased my mind. I'd like your advice as to if I should go ahead and replace the grease while I'm working on it. The machine is nearly 30 years old. Hasn't had a ton of hard use like kneading bread but with the age of the grease I'm in the mind to change it to the Lucas red grease. I change tractor and truck engine oils by time not computer recommendation and after seeing that dried out solidified grease in the machine you did made me realize how negligent I've been. Thanks again for the video.
The grease to use has to be certified for food processing. I think that the red Lucas if for mechanical machines not related to use in food preparation. So check with the manufacturer.
I have a kitchen aid k45
You have a lever that moves a little thin silver bar to press against a button (button has a yellow wire and a green wire)
Is the button supposed to be engaged on all speeds or just high speeds?
That is the on off switch, if I am understanding you correctly, it is supposed to be engaged on all speeds.
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 thats what i thought
Theirs also a capacitor with a yellow and red wire attached
That just bypasses the control board (pure mechanical board from ~1970)
With it in place it stays at full speed
With it removed i can use all speeds.
Does that just mean its wired incorrectly
It currently has all wires of matching color tied together
@@thebowtieguy777 ah ok, that means the capacitor is shorted, and you will need to replace it. If you run it without a capacitor it will arc your contact points to death. You can check with dave at davesrepair.com or nelsonezy.com for a replacement capacitor.
I have the same mixer & it wasn’t spinning so i replaced the worm gear but still isn’t working. The motor comes on but it won’t turn, what could this be?
I wouldn't know for sure without looking at it, but the first thing I would check is to be sure all your pins are in place, the pin that holds the worm gear drive to the shaft, and the pin that locates the big metal gear to the shaft that goes to the planetary. When you have the mixer apart, check that everything rotates as it should, when you have the large gear and shaft along with the worm drive assembly on the bottom half of the motor, put a small screwdriver into the big shaft where the pin that holds the planetary to it goes, and rotate that and see if everything is turning ok.
I show checking the gears and assembly here ua-cam.com/video/QhqW43_vq5A/v-deo.html
Great video thank you, speeding up the video was great to pass obvious steps, but I would suggest you mute audio during speed up segments. Thanks for your fantastic instructors
Thanks! Yea some like it with the audio on some don't, sometimes I use the sped up audio, sometimes I use music instead, always trying something different.
Very helpful video and I followed it all the way but once I got it back together and plugged it in, there was no power at all. What do I need to check or change to fix that? It was working when I started (but it was very noisy so I wanted to change the grease and check on the parts).
It is hard to say, double check all your connections, and make sure the on/off switch is engaging correctly. Other than that, the only thing else I can think of is one of the brushes is not seated all the way. If they are angled on one edge, they will only fit one way, or else they will not touch the armature, and you will have no power. Remove them and double check that the angled edge is lined up with the corner of the brush holder that has the protruding angle, you should see it if you look in the brush holder with a flashlight.
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 thank you! It was indeed the brushes not seated correctly. I have my mixer back!
@@ericachrist332 Yay!!! Thats great news :)
I sound like the reactors of a Jumbo Jet in take Of
What do you use to degrease?
How often do you think this should be done? Great video!
Thanks! If you use the kitchenaid grease, then every time it starts leaking. If you are using a higher quality grease, then you probably wont need maintenance for a very long time. At that point I would say the machine may need an adjustment or 2 but really no major maintenance for quite a while.
You have that unit quite clean. Did you actually use some kind of solvent or degreaser solution after removing the large pieces?>
Usually just dish soap or simple green to clean it as best as I can when the original finish is staying. The grease is difficult to remove, but persistence will help, may have to wash it a few times. When they are getting refinished I can clean them with TSP and hot water.
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 Thank you.
Hello there, great video! I hope you can help me with this incident I encountered few days ago with my mixer. I turned on and it didn't spin and a few seconds later something popped in the machine and a little smoke came out. I opened and saw some pieces of MDC orange small chip broken into pieces...do you have answer for it?
I don't know what model you have, if it is solid state, then it sounds like a chip on the phase board blew, but you can replace it, new replacement parts are available.
What degreaser did you use? or was the grease removal mechanical only?
Hello, the explanation very clear, I followed step by step to re-grease my ksm5. But when I'm done and I put it back together, it won't turn on anymore. What do you think I did wrong?
Hello, did you ever figure out why your mixer didn’t turn back on after changing the grease? We are having the same issue today.
I have my husband’s grandmother’s Hobart K5-A Mixer (purchased in the ‘50s) which still works but is leaking oil. It has the original bowl and original paddle but no whisk or dough hook. It’s too big for my countertop and too heavy for me to lift so I’ve decided to sell. Any thoughts on how to do this and how much to charge?
I am not sure what to suggest for price, but to sell without having to ship, your best options will be facebook marketplace or craigslist. If you dont mind shipping, then ebay would be your best bet. Im not really sure what they are currently selling for, but if you check on ebay under "sold" listings, you can get an idea of what others have paid for the same model. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=kitchenaid+k5-a&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1
Vintage Mixers and More thanks for your quick response! There’s a Hobart Sales and Service store in my town and the technician charges $90/hour for just labor. He suggested I sell it as is. I’d love to sell it to someone who would appreciate the quality-it’s produced hundreds of thousands of cookies over the years and has sentimental value in our family. Wish we could keep it.
@@pauladatz4450 Wow that quite a rate! I believe that is a pretty desirable model, Im sure it would sell well. You could post it on the vintage mixer and small appliance network group on facebook.
I'm curious as to whether or not heat shrink tubing would be a viable fix to repair that bare spot in the cord @ 44:00.
If no wires were cut inside, it certainly would be! Cords for these are extremely reasonably priced, so I just went with a replacement cord.
Hello Rick! Nice to see you work on another KitchenAid! Very Inspiring!
How do you reoil the planetary oilite bushings? I was thinking of heating them with a hot air gun so that the hot bushing would soak the new oil in... Apparently SAE 30 or SAE 40 is what you're supposed to use for recharging these bushings...
Great planetary pin installation technique :-)
Nice wax job on the handle, but you forgot the bowl yoke slide ;-)
I reoiled the back motor bushing on my K5SS and in the removal process damaged the governor just so that it started to clatter a bit in stir... :-( I'm amazed you're able to remove them with your bare hands... I'll definitely NOT follow the manual for this anymore, it calls for using two screwdrivers :-(
Did you repack the front motor ball bearing? Or is it sealed?
About the brush caps... The brass insert tends to fly off if you're not careful removing them, ask me how I know ;-)
FYI The book says high speed adjusted at speed 6 and it's 180 RPM... And yes that thing does sound MUCH better now than when you first got it :-)
Thanks Johnny, good morning!!
I put a little grease on the shaft before sliding it in the bushing, and I make sure there is grease under the washer and under the gear. Heating it might actually work, it could pull oil into it as it cools! I had given some thought to doing the slide, but it fits so loose I wasn't sure it would have mattered. The governor seems to pop off pretty easily with a sharp pull, but I see how they can get damaged easily. The front bearing on this unit is sealed, I was actually trying to show that in the video when the camera cut out from the card being full. LOL if the brush cap spring flies off for me I will have to add sound effects for sure! :)
Thanks for the adjustment speed, I couldn't recall what it was, so I just set it to what sounded correct.
I tried to get a really good video for this one, and I failed pretty bad, I was out of frame for some, it was blurry for some, I just don't have the camera skills to pull it off, but I hope the owner will still enjoy it, and that it will still be a help to others. Looking on youtube afterwards, I see there are a ton of videos for kitchenaids, so I guess it isn't very critical in the end, still I was disappointed.
Actually your videos are by far the most informative, because we can actually follow what you're doing. That and your calm voice and It's like being in Tech Class, always a great pleasure for me to watch :-D
The Speed Control Plate should be screwed in evenly - if not you may get 'stuttering' at some speeds. If you need to screw it in unevenly to avoid stuttering speeds it's a sign of wear on the contacts. These contacts are just tips, there are no 'buttons' on them, because they carry very little current as a signal into the phase board TRIAC which does the power handling.
Oh and BTW I broke down today as I wanted to get some SuperLube, as I couldn't find any at Canadian Tire I saw they had some Red n' Tacky and i grabbed a tube ;-) With the Lucas X-Tra I should be OK although I don't think there is a lubricant that can do it all: for every type of gear, size and speed there is an ideal lubricant so I'm still studying all that, greases, oils, thickeners, viscosity, extreme pressure, damping... Maybe I'll end up mixing my own in my Sunbeam Mixmaster like one would make a cream topping for a dessert, hahaha
Thanks buddy, I appreciate that! Thanks also for confirming the even adjusting of the plate, I know the service manual call for even spacing, but I have seen some sites say angle it to get it to sound the best :O
It goes against every shred of common sense I have lol. I will continue to space them evenly.
I am converting a k45 to solid state, found out it is far more involved than I had anticipated, but am ordering another speed plate since the one I have is bent, like someone tried to make an adjustment to it, and it runs like crap.
I don't think there can ever be a lubricant that does it all, so I look for one that seems good for what I use it for, even if designed for something else. I did use the mobil 1 synthetic grease for a bit, but it was too pricey. The lucas oil seems perfect consistency, really sticks to the teeth of the gear well, and doesn't liquify nearly as fast as some others. I may do a test one day with the lucas oil against the kitchenaid grease, mainly because I am curious since I see kitchenaids leak like mad.
Kitchenaid grease is mineral oil with up to 1% crystalline silica.
Lucas oil is lithium based with ZDDP up to 5%. I have no idea if ZDDP has any relevance to the slow moving gears in a mixer however :)
You will have to give me your honest opinion of the red and tacky! Good or bad!
Red 'n Tacky has ZDDP? WOW! I wasn't aware of that... That's interesting! The original KitchenAid grease, according to my old manual, is Benalene 930-2 which is in fact, Shell Darina R2, a clay based grease, which has been superseded by Shell Gadus U460L 2 (base oil has a viscosity of 460 cSt at 40°C, 35cSt at 100°C).
To confuse matters even more, I read an article by Nye lubricants which says (showing a KitchenAid but without mentioning the name) that it has started using its damping grease, a very high viscosity grease with very low stiffness (thick oil, fluid thickener) to make its gearboxes quieter ;-) Of course no way for us civilians to get our hands on that grease and with the plethora of fake Timken/Falex wear tests out there there is no way for someone to truly know greases work, how and why >:-(
I have work this weekend but hopefully will be able to take the K5SS completely apart this time, hopefully correct the governor clatter at low speed and replace the moly grease I just used with the Red 'n Tacky to see if it makes a difference.
That's interesting, and confusing for sure! ! I looked up the SDS for the benalene 930-2 and that is where I saw the mineral oil as the main ingredient (confidential CAS #) , I wonder is it a newer formula? sds.chemtel.net/docs/Fuchs%20Lubricants%20Co-0002505/Fuchs%20Lubricants%20Company_RENOLIT%20BENALENE%20930-2_Unknown_11-21-2016_English.pdf
The SDS for the red and tacky doesn't say what it is (mixture) except for the ZDDP. lucasoil.com/pdf/SDS_Red-Tacky-10005.pdf
You will have to let me know your opinion if you swap the grease. I have always thought moly grease was the top tier. If I can ever find time, I would love to set up some kind of wear test that includes the KA grease, along with cold and hot tests. It would not be scientific by any means, but I think it would be very interesting.
Thanks for this thorough video! I apologize if I missed it but how do you adjust the beater to bowl clearance on this model?
I never have a beater and bowl when they arrive, so I forget to mention it.. there is a small adjustment screw at the neck where the motor attaches in the front, it will adjust to set the height of the bowl lift , or better description, the bowl lift stop.
Thank you!
@@uncalum2010 Your welcome!
This may apply to your model too. ua-cam.com/video/vcZCRqMJ2I8/v-deo.html
Did you pack grease in the front armature bearing? Seems like you cut that portion out of the recording.
Hi Clinton, I may have cut that out, sorry. I do show it in other videos, sometimes my editing is rushed and things get cut out.
Thanks, I really enjoy your videos. They are very educational.. @@vintagemixersandmore1666

Hi, any idea what would be wrong? Thx !
@@ALESGERGELI I am guessing it is the plastic gear in the gearbox. It is most likely needing to be replaced.
Where are you getting your parts? Thanks🤠
Does the motor have any holes to oil it with liquid oil for lubrication?
I believe the only place you can oil is the rear bushing, but there is no accessible hole, it still requires some disassembly. There is no oiling ports for regular oiling.
Can you please recommend someone to repair a vintage mixer?
It’s a ksm5. About 35 years old
Thank you so much
Planetary cover loose on my kA mixer 600 professional
this doesn't look like maintenance at all.
this looks like a complete knockdown and rebuild.
Do you use a food grade grease?
NVM I see...
Hi!
Have you ever repaired a proline series 7 quarts kitchenaid mixer?
Mine suddenly stopped. Was searching where were the brushes located
Following
You need need a food grade grease if the grease that you are using ever leaks out and gets into your food you will deathly sick
That’s automotive grease! Yikes
YOU NEED TO USE FOOD GRADE GREASE - or you can poison yourself as the grease tends to leak a little over time.
Lucas red n tacky is not food safe. Even the MSDS shows it's corrosive and should not be stored around food or drink. The gear box is not a sealed system SO DO NOT USE IT!
don't look like food grade grease to me
You have a keen eye
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 just messing with good vid
@@dennytuma thanks, no problem! A lot of people have mentioned that, and I did have the option to install food grade grease, but there were many reasons why I didnt on most restores, main reason being it will definitely leak in the future and stain the machine. A good stable high quality lithium based grease will stay in the gearbox and not leak through the gasket like the KA grease does,.
I gave up on this video.,His workbench methods are pretty sloppy (throwing screws around). He says brushes look fine but doesn't show what that means. He also had little idea of his camera; several times his hands blocked a view of what he was doing. And no...you don't use whatever grease you prefer; you use food-grade grease. Doesn't show how he disassembled the gears. .
You sure do complain a lot buddy. I never intended to make videos for people to follow, I did it due to requests for them. I am quite uncomfortable in front of a camera to begin with, and while working I am not looking into the camera so yes sometimes I am not sure what the camera sees. My workbench methods affect only me, and I guess you for some reason, but I lose no parts, and know where they go. I explained my view of kitchenaid grease, and other food safe grease in another video, but I wouldnt post you the link, because you gave up. Im sorry you felt the need to complain was so great, you had to take the time to comment about it. Take care!
Que video tan fuera de foco...casi no se vio nada.
