Sounds like motor is burning out or has burned out. How old is it and do you use it for heavy things. They won't last if it is a cheaper model. I had a cheaper one and got very little time out of it. I bought a lot more expensive one and it has lasted several years.

Testimonial: "Thanks! I'm not really sure about the age, I believe my Mother In Law purchased it in the 70's. I don't think it is a cheap one, It also has the slicer & grater attachment. It sat unused for quite a long time and I have used it for several years not for heavy mixing and usually just for holidays. I really like it and would like to get it repaired if it will be costworthy. It was like a gear in the front end stripped when I moved the handle sideways to rempve the beaters."

    If it is a good one it might pay to repair it but be careful as it does cost a lot to repair things like that. See what a new one like that costs now and compare and see if it is worth it and I don't know whether they make parts for that age any more. Please have good luck.

Sunbeam mixmaster hesitates and then will not turn beaters

Check the carbon brushes on the motor and clean the copper commutator on the armature that they run on.

My Sunbeam mixmaster quit spinning on bottom where the bowl sits

Does the bowl table rotate freely by hand? If not, it may need a squirt of spray lubricant. If the table rotates freely by hand but doesn't turn when mixing, look at the bottom of your beaters. The beater that is closer to the outside should have a nylon button at the bottom. This nylon button rotates the bowl as it turns. If the button is worn or missing, you will need to get new beaters.

Mixer on my Sunbeam Model MX5900 compact mixmaster has burned out because beaters kept jambing in each other. Can I purchase just the mixer and beaters? Stand and bowl are OK

If the motors had burnt out then the winding can be redone if you can get this job to a winding shop.
Other wise the motor and assmebly can be ordered from a Sunbeam service outlet. try and see if you re able to source a motor assembly from a damaged/scrapped set with a mechanical defect.

Beaters won't turn bowl still does turn

I just took mine apart for this same issue. What i found was the plastic beater drive gears have been stripped by the motor worm gear. I am currently looking for these parts to replace them.

Middle better comes loose

Try placing some "braces" rubber bands around the shafts of the beaters. This should tighten the hold of the shaft with the mixer and keep them more straight.
