When my very expensive, meant to last a lifetime, KitchenAid mixer started sputtering just in time for Thanksgiving, we turned to youtube.
This of course, was after calling KitchenAid and learning that my mixer is out of warranty and will need to go to Orlando for a bench fee of $90 to determine how much it will cost to actually repair it.
Ordered parts on Amazon. No fix. Not the "usual" worm gear problem. Ordered the 2nd batch of parts and will resume this little project after Turkey Day. Very frustrating that a $400 mixer is a POC but we are grateful for the guys who generously give of their time to put the fix it videos out there for the rest of us. They are life savers!!
But don't buy a KitchenAid thinking it will be a mixer that will last a lifetime. My mom's from the 50's still works great. But that's made in The USA with all metal parts.
Sorry...I digress. I think it's the steam coming out of my ears......
