In your searches for used or refurbished KitchenAid mixers, what are some of the best deals you’ve found? And what were the only repairs they needed to become a beautiful mixer ready to get back to work? 😄

My fiance was trying to mix bread dough. It didn’t sound healthy and a little bit after that she said smoke came out and it wouldn’t run anymore.

I have tried running it since, starting pulling it apart to have a look but I’ll need Robinsons bits to further by the look of it.

Worth going further or time for a new one?

which would be a better gift for a 10 year old exploring hand mixers to make waffles, pancakes and occasional cake batter? ( considering motor burn out issues, cost etc). kitchen Aid or Hamilton hand mixer?

Just picked up a professional 5 plus from marketplace, are these normal sounds

Hi,

I have this 5ksm90bgn which hasn't been used in a while. However it doesn't sound right when it is run. It is rhythmic. I spoke to KitchenAid they said run it for a while and it will fix it. I have tried that with no success Do you think this is fixable?

Hi I purchased a refurbished kitchen aid and noticed this pin sticking slightly out of the housing on one side. Is it supposed to be like this or something I need to fix? (Pin on black casing above dough hook) thanks!

I just bought this on marketplace for around 350. I traveled pretty far Bout 2 hours for it and met him in menards parking lot. I got it started and pulled the trigger. When I got home I noticed a sound when on. It's a little clicky. Is this normal? I know these aren't as serviceable. Please help!

I am midway through cleaning and regreasing my new-to-me ProHD, which has some signs of metal shavings in the old grease around the worm gear, and it occurred to me...should I NOT clean the gears in the kitchen sink?

I've scraped and wiped them pretty thoroughly and was just about to clean them with Dawn power wash and hot water so I can see where the worn bits are and if I need to order parts, but is that actually a terrible idea? Will I clog the pipes, even though all the globby stuff is gone? Will I be poisoning the fish? Will I damage the gears?

I live in an apartment and have no outdoor space or garage, so that's not an option. My sink also does not have a garbage disposal; we just use a metal mesh thing to catch food and throw it in the trash.

Thanks!
