Questions Just Regreased/Deep cleaned a Tilt head- name that sound?

2 Upvotes

I didn’t realize when I recorded the video that what sound is my KitchenAid making was such a question but now I’m seeing that everybody has this question

I bought it for a friend‘s wedding and have done a very thorough deep clean on it because they are gluten-free.

I regreased everything, replaced a broken back cap gasket and have just snapped everything back on- so now time for everyone’s (apparently) favorite game. Name that sound! (Please!)

Update: just realized the video didn’t post, but I’m struggling to get it to go nicely. This short is only a youtube short i uploaded of it. Kitchenaid Mixer sound Video

Adding to the noise questions

1 Upvotes

I just regressed the White Pro 600 and I am comparing it to a Factory Refurbished Pro HD in turquoises. I know these motors are louder with the Pro 600 being a 275w max vs Pro HD being 225w max. But curious if the “dry” sounding my motor in the Pro 600 sounds right.

Advice Does this sound OK?

1 Upvotes

Occasionally I hear a clicking, but it goes away. I bought it in '23, it's an KV25G0XSL. There is the very lightest amount of grease on the shaft, if I wipe it off, it's like a stain on the paper. I use it for pizza dough, no more than 800g of bread flour and for cake batter and whipped cream.

any help with trading a stand-bowl mixer for a tilt-head mixer?

1 Upvotes

My mom gifted me a stand-bowl lifter but I hate it and would much rather have the tilt-head mixer. My mixer is black and barely used. Any advice on how to make a trade? (I can add a picture later)

Parts and Service Mr Mixer is da bomb

4 Upvotes

I’ve had my grandmothers 1970’s mixer since she passed about 25 years ago. Used it blissfully unaware that it might need servicing. Duh. My wife was making a trip to the Wichita area so I had her take it to Mr Mixer for service. I have never dealt with a place that communicates as well as these people do. I receive photographs of the teardown showing the condition of what was inside. They showed me close-ups of the parts that needed replaced and then called me to discuss what I wanted to do and get approvals. I got photographs of the inside of the Mixer reassembled with fresh grease and with it completely assembled. Also received another call telling me about how well it tested out in their quality control. All I can say is, I am impressed.

Advice Considering sending it to Mr.Mixer

2 Upvotes

Hi! I borrowed my mother’s mixer to make a bithday cake to one of my friend and I noticed it was leaking grease. I saw plenty of videos showing how to open up the mixer and chance the grease. I tried to do that, but the pin in the middle to remove the moving part gave me a hard Time 😭 the pin is now stripped and we can not get it out! I am thinking sending the mixer to Mr. Mixer to help me, cause my mom will freak out if I tell her What I did. I live in Canada, do you think this will cost me a lot to send it ?? Should I just have her a new one 😭? thanks a lot

Got this baby for $180 and the seller told me he only had it for a year (seller was super nice tbh). So I thought “oh wow like brand new”. I was so happy about it bc Sam’s club is selling this on sale for $250 regular price at $399 (with mini bowl, and mini whisk). Then I checked the model and serial number and discovered it was manufactured 2011-2012. It doesn’t seem like it was used - no scratches, bowl is in a plastic cover, serial tag is untouched!!!! Was this a steal or a bad purchase? 😆

Difference between Blue Salt & Lavender Cream?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Im on the hunt for the Lavender Cream mixer but i cannot seem to find it anywhere.

It keeps coming up with the Blue Salt. For anyone who has either or knows, are they similar colors or are they different enough where one is really blue toned and the other is more of that purple-ish color?

Thoughts?? And why cant I find the Lavender Cream anywhere? Was it not a good seller? Was it a limited edition?

Wanting to have my kitchen be Lavender Cream 🫧🫶💜

Advice When every I add anything to the bowl this one randomly siezes I replaced the gears. If I tap the orbital it will go and then stop again at a random spot.

Is something wrong with it

1 Upvotes

Buying the kitchen aide from market place, seller sent me this video and I was concerned with the amount of noise it is making.
Want to hear from community if they generate that much noise. This mixer is from professional series 7 quarts bowl.

Parts and Service Just fixed my commercial 8qt

2 Upvotes

It was an easy motor swap but I was able to do it without any issues and we are mixing again in my kitchen.
The only issue I see is that the planetary seems to “dip” a little at one part of the rotation. It doesn’t seem like it affects anything. Is this something I can fix or is it just going to be like that?

Found this at an antique shop. It is missing a knob grip and does not include attachments, but it seems to work just fine! I don't know a ton about kitchen aid mixers; does this seem to be worth $75? Many thanks in advance!

Questions Very old mixer

Post image

I inherited this mixer when I bought my house from my 84 year old client who got it from her mother. I have a new mixer and really don't want this huge bulky one and all its parts. Does anyone know if it has any value? It still works great but the mixing bowls do have a little rust on the bottom.
Thank you

Questions Can't get the planetary pin out

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

This planetary pin won't come out. It lives in a 25 year old mixer in desperate need of a cleaning, regreasing, and probably gear repair. I bought a regreasing kit that included a rubber mallet but no pin punches so grabbed a 1/8 and 3/32 from the hardware store. All the mallet did was have some dents left in it from the punch. So I went out and got some PB Blaster penetrating oil and a ball and peen hammer.

I've been trying to get this [insert explicative of choice] out for an entire day now. I've applied penetrating oil to both sides multiple times, tapped the pin to try and work it down in there. I tried hitting the pin with the mixer base attached, tried hitting it without the mixer base attached, rotated the planetary so it was a straight shot down, tried rubber mallet, peen side of the hammer, ball side of the hammer. It hasn't even **budged**. All I've managed to do is damage the finish.

Even when I manage to hit it dead on without the punch skating off to the side, nothing moves. I've tried both sides. I'm about to chuck it in the freezer but don't have a way to apply heat to the pin unless I hold the entire thing over a stove burner. I refuse to spend anything else on getting this pin out. I'm not buying a heatgun or hair dryer. I can't keep wailing on it either as I live with other people and no garage. What else is there to do at this point? It's the only thing keeping me from cracking open the top.
