Nydadinga - Sorry to hear about your fallen mixer. This is not a tragedy, and after cleaning up the grease with soap and water, it should operate normally. Your KA mixer has internal transmission and planetary gears which convert the electric motor's rotation into the mixer's rotation. The internal gears are factory packed with enough grease to last a 'lifetime' (whatever that means), and over the course of your move the shifted mixer leaked the grease inside the transmission housing. You did not mention where the 'oil' was found. Hopefully it was not exuding 'oil' from the brush cover caps located on opposite sides of the body, but coming from the planetary (the part that turns with the blades under the body). I also don't know how old/how used your mixer is. The older the mixer, the more used it is, the more fluid the gear grease, and tend to seep from cracks and gaskets that aren't tight. Gravity can be very insidious. The inspection and troubleshooting of the inside of your mixer is a DITY capability, particularly if your mixer is out of warranty. Just be sure to have the correct Part List manual around when you start to disassemble your mixer. You can download it from KA customer care. Click on Customer Care>Locate Manuals & Guides> Enter the 6 character model number and select the Part List file that is listed. I hope this helps! Howard, Burke, VA

Kitchen aid mixer repair locationsi

Leaking oil is caused by the grease in the gear box separating. This often happens when the mixer is not used much and the grease is not kept mixed by the moving gears. The solution is two-fold. First run the machine more frequently. Second is to open the head and replace the old grease with an approved food-grade grease (6 oz. is the right amount). KitchenAid grease can be found online and at Ebay. The Service Manual can be found at:

http://www.kitchenaidparts.eu/documents/pdf/service-manual/classic-svc-manual-new-email-version.pdf

While the Artisan series is not specifically referenced, the procedures are the same.

You can also take the mixer and manual to a competent repair person.

Oil came from my mixer

You have a bad gasket in your mixer, the oil inside from KA is 6 oz. and the oil is due to separation, as KA uses a food safe vegetable based grease and after periods of non use it separates, liquids from solids, and leaks when the gasket seal goes. It is a messy fix but fairly easy, ereplacmentparts.com has a video on it. hope this helped

Kitchen aid stand mixer bought in US, moving to Europe, 220v 50hz

I can not respond to the warranty issues. My kitchen aid mixer is past warranty as well. I live in a country that uses 220V and my kitchen aid mixer is 110V. I have been using my kitchen aid mixer for almost 4 years with no problems at all.

The converter boxes are supposed to blow the fuse on the converter before it reaches your appliance and cause any problems.

If you purchase a 220V kitchen aid (although it would cost more money) it would probably have more power because of the higher voltage.

Hope this helps!

Food made with KitchenAid Stand mixer tastes like grease

The likelyhood of grease coming from the mixer is extremely small. As long as the beater & bowl were washed first and the shortening you used was fresh, there shouldn't be a grease taste.
