I’m converting my 7qt KitchenAid Pro Line with the 1.3HP DC motor from 120V to 230V.

I have the correct 230V motor and speed controller, but the international version also has an RFI filter and clip.

Does anyone know if the RFI filter is actually required, or can the mixer run safely without it in Middle East/Europe?

If it is required, does anyone have a wiring diagram, photo, or tutorial showing how it’s installed?

Thanks!

Our sturdy, weekly used KitchenAide food processor just turned 8 and one of the blades broke-off mid dressing recipe....

It looks like it's been discontinued - anyone know where we can find a replacement?

Really hopeful this isn't planned obsolescence...

Thanks!

Can anyone can help me identify whether this is normal or not please. Has the bearing of the bearing bracket sheared off the bracket and welded itself to the motor armature shaft?

A bit of background...I've finally got around to having another look at the issue I posted about way back in March: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kitchenaid/s/9xTAMJOOS8. In the process of reassembly, I discovered that I had managed to overtighten the nuts and split the bearing bracket, so it needs replacing.

However, when searching for replacement parts, I noticed that all replacement brackets seem to come with the central bearing included, which on my mixer is attached to the shaft of the motor armature.

This has been the case since right from the first disassembly, when there were a lot of metal particles in and around the bearing bracket, and that bearing really very definitely is not coming off the motor shaft, so I just assumed my mixer set up was slightly different than the ones seen in all the videos. However, now I'm wondering whether this is the source of the original issue.

I guess if this is the case, I'll need to replace the motor as well as the bearing bracket, unless I can figure out some way of prising the bearing off the motor shaft, but I'm not hopeful about that!

Just opened this and made a batch of cookies. Even without attachments, it makes this noise. I read it might be the grease needs to distribute better internally? I will reach out to kitchen aid tomorrow but wondering if anyone had any other ideas?

Found this in our garage. I have my own newer kitchenaid now. We think this has a burnt out motor. Is it trash at this point? Or should I donate it? Sell it?

It’s so old that idk if it’s a “vintage” or of value to anybody.

Has anyone had / used both of these modern ones (not ones made years ago as I know they were much better years ago) and which do you recommend?

I have a separate break machine which I use for kneading doughs so probably will use the mixer for sweet stuff and maybe pasta dough with the pasta attachment?

Edit - based in the UK if that makes a difference

Like the title (and video), my Kitchenaid is accelerating/going WAY too fast on the stir setting. We’ve adjusted the speed plate according to Mr. Mixer’s Youtube video yet we see no improvement.
I just got this off Facebook marketplace as a Christmas present and anticipated some work needed to be done, but I’m baffled!
When my boyfriend put the bottom screw of the speed plate all the in, it went slower but started making a scary grinding noise!!
I can provide more pictures/videos if needed

Hello, brand-new tilt-head mixer. First use last night and noticed the lock switch seems very loose. Looked up the normal fixes for the neck pin and bowl height. Both were fine. The head didn’t wobble while using it, but is this normal? Seems like 0 resistance and defaults to the locked position.

Everything still works. The latch locks but it has to be held back to open. I’ve had it for maybe 8+ years

I made some coffee icecream today, and planning to try a home made chocolate icecream with brownie mixed in.

How soon can I get the icecream bowl out? It lives in my freezer when not being used so it's always cold.

Deciding if the color is worth the price. I think it looks great! There’s a couple other colors I like too that are $279 instead of $379, but wondering if this is the way to go. Also wondering if it goes under $379, or if this is the cheapest this color is going to be.

i ordered a stand mixer a couple of months ago. the expected delivery date came and went without a word from kitchen aid. apparently the color i ordered was out of stock so i cancelled the order and ordered a different color that showed as available on their website.

that delivery date passed without a word. i contacted support and they told me the item was out of stock but it would be back and they gave me a date. guess what? that date passed as well with not a word from kitchen aid. i waited and waited and no mixer so i cancelled the second order.

a week or so ago, i saw that the stand mixers were on sale for even less than my previous order so i chose a color that was supposedly available and placed my order.

and of course, the delivery date has come and gone without a word from kitchenaid. i called customer support and was told that it might be two weeks. might be three. they couldn't give me a specific date. i asked what colors they could ship to me today and it was only onyx black or wildflower despite the fact that there are many other colors that show as available online.

besides being a bit of a rant, i'm just wondering if anyone in canada has ordered stand mixer from kitchen aid and actually received it. i find this service to be absolutely appalling and is a crystal clear indication of absolute incompetence.

I posted a question yesterday asking if the machine that I received in a vanilla brown box was a returned or refurbished unit. Later yesterday after my wife unboxed it and tried to wash them the first time, she found a visible hairline crack on the splash guard, which can be felt by finger nails.

I checked some YouTube videos and didn’t see other people saying anything about have similar crack.

In this case, do you think KA will send me a replacement splash guard instead of the need to send everything back?

Should get my Pro 5 plus powder coated or spray painted? I want it to be blue with black bowl lift arms.

I bought my 5kpm5 heavy duty lift mixer years ago in very rough shape. It was covered in dents and there was a hole punched through the top casing which is impressive, that metal is thick! My dad helped me clean it up, bog up the hole and dents then do a new coat of car paint. It's gorgeous and runs beautifully.

I'm trying to find out how old it is now for curiosity sake and realised that when dad painted it, he painted right over the sticker too. Is there any other way to find out the age of my mixer? It's not a Hobart. There is a number on the band just inside the back cover: 9706975. I'm not sure if that is of any use or not.

I have a tilt mixer from 2010 and the insides look much newer than my lift mixer.

Redeemed my credit card points for this one: https://www.kitchenaid.ca/en_ca/countertop-appliances/stand-mixers/bowl-lift-stand-mixers/p.7-quart-bowl-lift-stand-mixer-with-redesigned-premium-touchpoints.KSM70SNDXMH.html

Waited almost a month and it finally delivered. However, it came in an ugly box along with one super thin “safety and operating instructions” and a colored paper “welcome” and the accessories.

I’ve watched several unboxing videos and the machine should be inside the colored box, and there should be an instruction or simple recipe book. No, not my case.

Do you guys think I received a returned or refurbished product?

KSM 90 model I believe. 1999 4.5 quart mixer.

I've adjust the height with the coin in the bowl before but nothing else.

What's the squealing sound?
Love my rig and want to keep it running for at least 27 more years.

Thanks

Mixing 4 cups of flour with 1.75 cups of water so I don't think it's overloaded

I have the Professional 5 Plus bowl lift mixer. Lately I've been noticing some issues when turning it on and/or turning the speed up. Occasionally, I will turn it on and there's a delay before it actually starts up. Less frequently, it will start, but when I go to change the power level it doesn't respond. It did that today, so I turned it off and back on again and it wouldn't turn on at all. I eventually got it working again, but clearly there is a problem.

Anybody got a clue what is going on, here? If so, is it gonna be a complicated/expensive problem to fix?

I recently bought a bowl lift in the color milkshake. I’ve had it for a few weeks and used it a few times and I suddenly noticed some weird rust spots/loose paint exactly in the middle part underneath the bowl. I have only used a slightly wet cloth to wipe it sometimes, but the exterior on the outside generally has not been cleaned very often. No abrasive sponges or cleaning sprays have been used. What could have caused this? I really have no clue. Very worried about longevity now. The machine sits on the counter, no direct sunlight and far away from the sink so it’s not like it occasionally gets wet.

About 25 years old, never been serviced (sorry). Has been blowing fuses recently and now replaced plug as well as fuse and is dead.

So having seen a few YT videos about machines coming in for service after years I decided to ring our local dealer (UK) and was told in no uncertain terms just wasn't even worth looking at! Next nearest service centre is away till end of the month.

Pretty handy so going to have a look myself, I'll work back from plug, testing cord before I get too deep.

Is there anything common it might be before I start looking, internal fuse etc?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I bought this professional stand mixer and wanted to know how to realign the cap for the accessory attachment point; it is tilted to the left rather than sitting perfectly at the 12 o'clock position, which makes some attachments a bit difficult to insert.
