I Bought a BROKEN KitchenAide Mixer! Let's Try to Fix It! I paid $45 for this broken mixer. They normally sell for around $250 since it's limited edition. This is my first time trying to diagnose and fix a stand mixer so I'm especially excited to open it up and see what's on the inside.

"When in doubt, take more screws out" made me laugh.
I think we have a new merc item…😂
Was just going to say new shirt incoming 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't wait to see what is considered the perfect amount of thermal paste for a stand mixer.
Thanks for the laugh😅
The perfect amount of grease
Today my friend... you just won the internet...
The answer: a LOT.
Nicely done Steve!😊
I always wondered why you didnt dip into other types of devices, good to see, keep it coming.
I was literally about to attempt to fix my mom's broken Kitchen Aid mixer after watching this, and she told me she got rid of it.. I went from excited to disappointed real fast. Great video though Steve, love to see new things like this. I'm also glad you are doing well. 😁
You look like your healing well friend. I hope you feel a little better.
what? now fixing appliances? yes please!
I used to work on crown Vic interceptors so I know the smell of old dif oil. If that smells remotely close, brave man opening that inside lol. I love seeing you venture into something different. Good for the soul :).
Gear oil stinks.
Can you imagine my dissappintment when I rolled over under my car and my long hair dipped into a puddle of stinky gear oil i had just spilled... I was smelling it for 1/2 the week.
(For those that don't know it kind of smells like smelly armpits, it's a sulphur smell).
I got one of these in 1995. The thing is a beast. Wife got it in the divorce. Got a replacement in 2023 and this thing is weak. I hate it and rarely ever use it. 30 years of cutbacks have taken their toll and these things are no longer worth their cost. Want one that'll last? Look for one built before 2000.
I have one my mom bought in the 70's, and it's an absolute tank. Seeing that grease though ... I'm envisioning a maintenance repair in my future ... I can't imagine what 40+ year old grease is going to look like ... or smell like ...
There's actually a UA-camr, Mr. Mixer, who does work on the newer ones and restores the cheap plastic parts for proper metal ones, and calibrates everything for like $100.
Ah, it's an old one? I was surprised how sturdy this is build.
"Does not smell good from the back..." Aaaahahaha! I had to pause the video becuase I was laughing so much! Good stuff! Thanks Steve!
"Same." - Me
You can tell how pumped Steve was while repairing this KitchenAid, you should bring more content like this!
You are part of my comfort videos
I have a Hobart electronic which is bullet proof. I have a K-45 from 1962 which my mom used non-stop and I use every week. Service it every ten years.
Every single one of the Whirlpool KA mixers my children have bought me through the years has failed early in its life. Every one. Just like their 'Maytag' line, they're not Hobart quality, they're just junk with a label which invokes memories of a time when they were good appliances.
I really think someone else was in there and was fiddling with things after it didn't work right they said screw it and slapped it back together the best they could and sold it.
I just fixed a KitchenAid mixer yesterday. And now tronicsfix is fixing one What a weird coincidence
I had cookies that were originally mixed in a KitchenAid. Small world!
Still watching, but the grease is famous for separating. It's a pretty easy process to get all the old stuff out and replace with good quality grease. See tons of old ones at Goodwill that have separating grease.
Do they just get loud when the grease fails?
This one sounded good as new once the grease was replaced.
I'm a baker, so this would be up my alley! Now I'm gonna have to go hunting and fix one myself.
Now you're in my wheelhouse! I used to fix KitchenAids, Sunbeams, Mr. Coffee drip brewers, toasters...you name it. It put me through college, and I could tear these down in my sleep (this was in the mid-80's, for context.) Not infrequently, the thing that would go on these is the big honkin' ceramic capacitor on the motor. That would also give off that distinct "burnt" smell.
I got a regular one of these, it needs a deep cleaning and regreasing. Its not too bad, it just takes some time. Thank you for a lovely walkthrough ❤
I worked at whirlpool who owns KitchenAid for ten years. I worked in dishwasher engineering though.
When I service mine (every ten years or so for the K-45 from 1962), I put a dab of BLUE Threadlocker on that speed adjustment screw which the lever pivots on. That way I can keep it loose enough not to bind and don't have to worry about it unscrewing over time.
That was cool. We sent ours back to KitchenAid for a repair and it was a smooth process even if it took weeks to complete it. It sounds like the non-metal gear is the last fail safe and we had ground some teeth off of it. Now I get to see what I missed by not taking it apart myself! Thanks for this
The frosting usually goes in the mixer bowl and NOT the internals of the mixer
That was really well done, nice to see some branching out.
Those are super easy to fix. Great job!
I love these mixers. I have one and use it a lot.
They are great
I fixed one of these for my Daughter... Just a small "project". She went out and bought a new one, meanwhile, I ordered the food grade grease, watched a ton of videos like you did, gave it back to her like new.... I think she regretted droppin' the $500 for the new one! Don't count the old man out yet!! ok, I was a little proud of myself...
great job steve. you still got it!
thx for sticking around.
all the best from montreal
This one is without a doubt, my favorite TronixFix video. Amazing job.
Steve, it’s always great to see you rescue a perfectly working machine from going into a landfill!
Nice! Love the change of pace from electronics to electro-mechanical!
@tronicsfix For grease, just remember, the bigger the glob, the better the job!
Yeah I feel like he went a little too light inside the housing. It may not stay on the gears too well long term.
Next stop maybe: repairing string trimmers or perhaps CD changers too
the PERFECT amount of bearing grease.
I don't mean this in a bad way, but it's nice to get a break from consoles and stuff. Those videos are awesome and really helpful, but it's just nice to change it up with home appliance stuff or tools or something every so often I guess. That said, I still really enjoy the console videos. Keep up the awesome work. :)
Thank you 🎉 glad to learn more about fixing other things. Always good to have more skills in your back pocket for when you need them. Glad you are feeling better!!!
As an aspiring appliance repair guy, I approve of this video 😁
Love the console repair but "mixing" it up was great! 😂
Steve you looking good. That's really good to see!
I'm glad you replaced the grease! The grease that was in it was not food safe grease. Nice to try something outside of your 'normal' comfort zone. No microscope needed on this project lol.
The grease in there was the original grease from kitchen aid, so it was foodsafe
@@xstreaksinskyx just never seen it congealed like that and so dark.
hell ya, glad to see you doing other things. My grandmother had a kitchen aid in blue. They last for awhile imo
as a little boy seeing one of these in my kitchen i always wanted to take one apart... thanks!
Enjoyed this kind of "learning together" style video where it was sort of trial and error.
I did not realize you were in the colostomy club. Be glad you were not using a Hollister bag like I do. They are clear in the front. Glad to see you getting better.
My guy... Whoever deep fried that mixer done a great job 😄 well done dude... Nice to see new content 😀
i have re-greased and reset the speeds on 2 in the past 3 months. one of them we have had 26 years and didn't know anything about the grease. It was black and looked like jello on it. the other one, I bought at a pawn shop because it was teal and thought my wife would like to have that color. the grease was pretty much new and didn't look like it had been used much. The old grease gets everywhere.
I saw in another video, that the speed control can be adjusted by the screws on that plate. Ex: Speed 1 = 10 rotations per 10 seconds.
The ratio changes at higher speeds. The top adjustment screws, I think are for lower speeds, while the bottom set is for the higher speeds.
On the Wristwatch Revival channel I watch Marshall putting microscopic drops of grease into watches, so seeing gears getting a coat of grease like cake icing made me laugh.
There's no ending "e" in KitchenAid. ;) -- But thanks for the video! I love them!
Sweet - You fixed the title! :D
Veyry satisfying repair! I've always wonderd how easy it would be to repair ours when we wear it out.
This video was great! good f**king job on this mixer you sir are a true tinkerer! Now I just have to wait for my wife's mixer to break so I can look like an hero! 😅
Before my mom passed she always wanted one those mixers they was so expensive back then 👍🏽👍🏽
An unexpected departure for your channel, but an entertaining one! Keep throwing us these curveballs!
Maybe the first time I've seen a video with a sponsor that's actually relevant!
mixing the format up i see still a great watch
I like seeing exposed connections with the full wall power on them.
Electroboom would keep the plug connected and get shocked like 20 times.
26:17 - let´s just apply the perfect amount of.... GREASE 😂
Ok, THAT I wasn't expecting 😅
BTW, there are some older videos where you do some home improvement for your newly acquired home (your now current home, I guess). I enjoyed them.
If you had a second channel for that, I would certainly watch it!
Fascinating. Well done!
I didn't know there was chocolate frosting already in the mixer! All these years I've been using mine to make such things.
It smells bad from the back.... Well that pretty much what you expect of the backside is leaking brown liquid. 😂
I'm happy to see you looking healthy
Those needle probes are amazing, but idk if you want that much live metal sticking out...😅
Man this was something different very different from cosoles to home appliances my man is an all rounder😎😎😎
i'd love to see more videos on fixing other kinds of electronics like these.
think of vacuums and other appliances.
I love seeing Steve with hair re-growth!
I’ve taken one apart and changed the grease. The oil and what not is all the grease inside reaching high temperatures and begin to leak out. The grease needs to be changed much more often than people do it.
Can't Wait for the PS5 pro to be opened by you. 😂
This is the branch out I didn't know I needed.
I see you are in better health, blessings to you.
Ngl i don't mind watching the cleaning part, I find it relaxing
That was an outstanding repair! Good work!
lol I’d love to see you do more vids like this with kitchen appliances! Bit more interesting than the games consoles!
can’t wait to you get your hand on the ps5 pro take apart
Love seeing different things! Keep up the great work
didn't expect a mixer video but I'm here for it
Love these kinds of videos.. Good change of pace every now and then!
I love the console repairs but More of This non console stuff is fun to watch
Happy to see your are getting better!
I woulda kept the grease cleanout parts in the video. Lots of weirdos on the web like that stuff. Cool how pretty simple these machines are.
This was great
Please do more random repairs
Good to see you mixing it up 😊
So satisfying to watch 😁 thanks Tonics.
This is how my mixer was that I got from my fiancé's grandparents since they don't cook much anymore. I just wanted to switch the grease, mostly, and it was as disgusting as this one. I still have extra white lithium grease from Mr. Mixer.
Congrats! You did a great job and made some money all around.
Instead of using a paper towel when hammering, use the handle instead. Because if miss using the towel it could damage and the hammer handle is usually wood or rubber and acts like a soft dead blow.
Now to apply the perfect amount of appliance grease.
What an awesome fix! Now maybe I can afford a KitchenAid if I do this! XD
The perfect amount of white gooey stuff! :)
Look at that! The PERFECT amount of thermal pa... I mean, grease!
The perfect amount of industrial grease.
Those mixers have a governor!?
Cool.
Nice video. Fixing something that mechanically inclined can do... 🙂
If youre going to be doing this stuff going forward, do yourself a favor and get a rubber mallet so you dont put dings in those silver rings when you put them back on. Its super cheap and will save you from various forms of destroying stuff :D
Now since he has a mixer all he needs to do is start a backing channel and call it baking with Steve
You did a lot. What part was the thing that fixed it? My KitchenAid Mixer is in the same state, although the speed arm seems fine.
This was a fun repair, great idea!
Oh boy new tronicsfix video... is that a mixer 👀 talk about mixing things up
More of standard electronic fixes please!
Lookin good, Steve! This was an awesome video. Love to see something different! Don't get me wrong, the video game stuff is always great but throwing in a mixer? So good! And yes, smellavision works when I can relate to exactly what you're describing; old burnt axle grease...YUMMY!!!
What an awesome fix, very nice
