This video is about Bamix stick-blender overhauling. DIY/ fix it yourself. Novice dismantles, cleans and repairs Bamix sticks-blender from the 80's. Motor finally burnt out in 2018/19.
That is so well made well they have been making them for 50 years the bearings are oil light bearings and only need two or three drops of oil in the surrounding oil pad and when you cleaned the armature you should only clean with spirit and make sure the segments gaps are clean with a sharp toothpick but loved the video very good ( I used to be a Kenwood engineer) thanks Bob in the UK
Thanks for your comment Bob. As an amateur any expert feedback is appreciated. Unfortunately the motor blew on it early this year. It really had had a caning since the early 80's!
Since around 2014 the blade guard is bonded to the shaft with a thread locking compound. To remove it, heat the threaded area with the soft flame of propane torch for 15 sec (200°C are required) and unscrew the blade guard immediately using thick leather gloves (left handed thread). Grease the thread with petroleum jelly to permanently unstick this threading.
Hallo Der Stift kann unten an der Welle drin bleiben. Einfach oben die Motorkupplung aus der welle herausdrehen und die Welle nach unten herausnehmen (getestet am Modell M122). :-)
After putting it all back together again, it worked perfectly for a month. But now it's jambed and I'll need to pull it apart and figure out why. There is a loose white nylon seal at the bottom of the shaft. In the early part of the video it is clearly seen, but not when the shaft is removed, its not in the tray of parts, and doesn't appear in the reassembly process.
@@Aryapala thanks for the reply, but I was not very observant or I would have remembered how I got it out, and the other videos are all of the later type and uses a different design. I'll Try again, working now. [and leave the pin in the freezer for a while, so it drops in].
Thanks for the video,I appreciate it. For bamix processor- in the middle the knife is attached to the plastic holder which is underneath has a chance to be deattach and take aside the knife. So ,may I slightly grease it with 3 in 1 white lithium grease. And as well the shaft ?
Nice video. I used it to open my M122 after there was a flash and smoke coming out. Seemes that the condensator and the diode have exploded. Can you tel what value and type the condensator must be? The Diode should be a standard 1N4004 I 've found out. Hope you van answer my qeustion. With regards.
@@Aryapala mine blew up too. the rifa brand caps are not good. I slow mo-ed your video and learnt that it is a 0.022µF or 220nF metalled Polypropylene Capacitor.
Thank you. This is the model I have. I would never get all the fiddly bits back.in the right order. Hopefully mine stays working. What year is it please. 1993?
Mine has a pin in the top screws, so a phillips head won't work, and needs a hollow hex head. Although, if you don't have electrical problems, I don't see the need to take off that end cover. I may have missed it, but what did you use to grease the shaft, vasaline?
Hi My mom had used same exact BAMIX until last month. Seems rubber Shafter is having a problem. Anyways blade cannot be removed as you have done in the video (at 1 min in the video). Its great if you could show it again or explain. Thank you .
Hi. At one minute I pull off the chopping blade with my fingers. If its stuck, use some WD40 and try and pull it straight off again. If that doesn't work, submerge in boiling water for a few minutes and with gloves on, try and pull it off again. I hope that helps
@Aryapala Thanks. I am going to try your options today. Hope there is no screw threads on the bar and the blade. Otherwise just pulling will not help.
Hi , I'm having a problem with shaft slightly lose and pushing back into housing. once one of the buttons stopped working[hi speed I think] and played around with it and was able to get it going again. Does that sound serious? as in has something internal broken or could it be an easy fix?
I couldn’t get the second speed to work again. It stopped about 20 years ago and never again. As long as it still mixes without overheating it should be fine.
I can't get my pin out. It also looks like you cut a portion of that video (edit). Yours comes out way too easy. Also looks like it already siting half way up already.
@@midmodernman1817 I found it difficult too. Even worse trying to get it back in far enough, not like the video. My guess, in retrospect, is the pin needs to sit in the freezer for a while first.
@@jenniefelch9707 And yet it functions the same as a new $200 Bamix after a small amount of work. Best for the planet and your wallet to repair the old one.
@@nimpanbangun6546 Bamix claims that it sells parts for all models.. Supposedly the rubber connector is a common replacment on old ones.. If you search ebay it will lead you their their service part company..
Helpful, thank you.

@@Aryapala Sorry to hear that it has gone wrong I would not want to pay the price now all the best Bob
@@Aryapala Bamix says that its still sells all the parts for all the models they have ever sold..
Wonder how much it would cost to repair it again..

Vielen Dank für die Reparaturanleitung vom ESGE Zauberstab
Thank you for taking the time so show this info!!! Saved the mixer for my friend!!

Very nice...
Esa got our 30 years ole Bamix work again. It ran sticky lately. Thanks for really helpful video.
What’s a good source for parts? Thanks an very nice breakdown!

Sounds plausible ! Good luck sir!
I did ,with proper grease
Technically very helpfull.

Hi. I don’t know that technical question. I’ll see if I can find out for you…

Not sure what year my mum got it. Probably in the mid 80's...
My Bamix M100 looks similar. The motor is making a high pitch scream, Will a service like you show in your video, remedy the squealing motor? Susie
Short answer yes. But it takes time. Probs easier to put up wit the noise!?
Mine has a pin in the top screws, so a phillips head won't work, and needs a hollow hex head.
Although, if you don't have electrical problems, I don't see the need to take off that end cover.
I may have missed it, but what did you use to grease the shaft, vasaline?
I don't know what he used but their is special grease available for working around food..

@@Aryapala yeah, it was a cheap ebay find £30 with 4 blades. gastro em2. guy said he dropped it on ground and knocked shaft. best to let it be I guess
@@MindbodyMedic I looked over the vid I made here and there is the possibility to screw tight the base 'disk bit'. Not sure that helps?
@@Aryapala you mean at 1:45, the nylon thing? I'll take a look
@@MindbodyMedic 1:05, the base is threaded, might need tightening?
What sort of screw driver do you need to open the top?
A small phillips-head
@@Aryapala
mine has a pin in the centre so needs a hollow hex shape.

After taking the screws out of the brown ‘handle’, and unscrewing the end , it pulls away from the plastic casing

Easy fix
Trash it and buy a new one.
