Description
I fixed my KitchenAid mixer. Last spring, my mixer stopped being able to mix any thick dough. It would “chatter” as it tried to mix. I watched a few videos on how to fix a KitchenAid mixer and felt I could do it. I also found the parts I would probably need. I pulled the top off of the mixer and got to the gears and the motor. I found a gear that was definitely stripped. Five or six teeth were missing on the gear. I was able to order this exact gear and replace it with new grease. I also found a pin that goes through the shaft that holds the main gears in the mixer. This pin was broken so I made a new one on my metal lathe. I put everything back together and it has been working nicely now for almost a year.
