Gift Card Activation

Rub with wd-40

After many years dealing with Kitchen Aid mixers I purchased a pro 600 for my wife as an early Xmas gift. After just a few usages it started making a clunking noise in the gear housing. I removed the housing and discovered the casting is of very poor tolerances and the main drive assembly was lifting from the torque of the motor and causing the gear assembly to lift out of the casting and skipping on the worm gear. I am sure it is going to happen to many more of these units as the casting area that holds the bearing in is to large obviously an overdue mold in the casting process. Time for a recall Kitchen Aid.

By pass the switch and put it on power strip and turn on/off with strip. Or just replace the ****** switch. Or just bypass switch and plug and unplug to turn on and off.

If you have a really "Brand New" mixer then Kichenaid has the best "No-Hassel" return policy bar none, call customer support and they will send you a new one. If it is a new mixer still in box never used but is a couple years old then look for the warranty card and go on line to see if you can register it. They may let it by, just remember that you must mark it as received as gift and price payed unknown. if they let it pass then again call KA and they WILL send a new one. On to the more painful part, if the mixer is out of warranty and it has to be fixed the choices are:
1: send it to your nearest KA service center either by taking it or mailing it. be prepared to spend $100.00 plus dollars to do it this way.
2: send it to a local repar tech that has experience with KA probably $65 (what i charge) or maybe less.
3: Or do it your self, Not hard to do but!!! it can frustrate some people, go to KA site and get your parts list from that site for your model. then search the web for you tube videos that show you how to replace the grease, it will show you how to open and reclose your machine, then go to the speed control switch and locate the spring that is attached to it, i beleive that you will find that the spring has come loose and it is jambed in place (very tight space allowance in there) hook it back up and close up your machine and i bet a dollar to a donut that it runs fine. BTW if you find that it is not the spring being loose you will be able to diagnose the cause of the jam as the mechanism is very simple. hope this helps.

hi sadly these are good little mixers but like there bigger ones in commercial kitchen they run on a gear system so yep there going to be noisy

Hello. Thanks for choosing Fixya! Actually, Sunbeam hasn't changed their beaters since 1936 for most models. I believe your best bet is to order from a Sunbeam Factory Service Center. Here is the link that will get you there. http://www.householdappliance.com/sunbeam_oster_beaters.html
Good luck with it. Regards, J.

So go to their web site for resolution of your issue. Have your receipt handy.

Why do I see oil leaking from the beater shaft of my stand mixer?
Some KitchenAid® stand mixers that are not used very often or have been tipped may experience slight oil leakage from the shaft or hub attachment. To avoid the oil leakage, KitchenAid suggests that you run the mixer weekly for short periods of time. Generally, the mixer may lose approximately X cup of oil before repair is necessary. The oil used is FDA approved and is not harmful to consume, should any get into the food that you are preparing.
