I recently purchased a used Kitchenaid mixer. I think it is from the 70's as it is avocado green in color. It looks great and is clean and seems to work good, however, the mixer gets hot and it smokes during use. I have only used it twice and feel it has not been used in several years. Do you think it needs to be oiled or greased, or possibly another problem? I cannot locate a repair company that does small motors in this area.
Smoking and overheating during use does not usually indicate a problem with motor oil. Kitchenaid stand mixers have sufficient oil in them to lubricate the motor for its lifetime.
Smoking and overheating are geneally caused by overuse. Consult your use and care guide or Kitchenaid Customer Service to ensure the mixer is being used properly. Customer Service would also be able to send you a new Use and Care Guide at no charge.
Their toll-free telephone number is 1-800-541-6390.
