Mixer not creaming butter and sugar...

I put an extra plastic circle in the base of my machine as well as doing the adjustment and it worked.

Does the mixer not turn on at all or the beater just wont turn? Depending on the mixer it could have a fuse that shuts the mixer off if over heated, but it could also be gears.

If you can get the model off of the bottom of the mixer, and then give a bit more information on how it is not working then we can help you with the repair.

Also yes, the butter would most likely be the reason the mixer stopped working. You are supposed to use butter that is soft & at room temperature. I find that if you are in a rush or forgot to soften the butter you can cut it up into small slices and then cream it in your mixer and it doesn't strip the gears.

It will be a broken or missing pin through a gear or the planetary or something wrong with the fuse gear. It should be easy enough to find but you will need to split the gearbox cases to check.

Why would you raise the beater if you want it to reach the bottom of the bowl? You need to lower the beater. Turn the screw in until it just touches with empty bowl on high speed then turn it counter clockwise a 1/4 turn so it will just clear.

It could be that your over mixing the batter. It is very easy with a KitchenAid to push a batter too far, and you get too much air, or cream the butter too much into the flour, or press all the oil out of peanut butter. Try using the mixer for only as much to get the matter mixed.

Put the flat beater on and mount the bowl to the machine. Now look for the screw next to where the beater mounts on the head- this is the adjusting screw. Turn it counterclockwise to lower the beater, just a quarter of a turn, and then check where it's running in the bowl. Repeat as necessary. If you need to raise the beater, just turn the screw the other way.

burnt motor ,not safe do not use

either the electrical motor brushes are worn down on the motors commutator and can no longer contact the motors commutator bands,or if its a newer style mixer the triac that controls the speeds on the unit could have opened up and can no longer supply variable or even high speeds

there is a kit on ebay for both 701 and 901 kenwoods requires use of soldering iron do a search for Kenwood motor repair it is unlikely to be the motor usually the speed contoller components
