Damn, cannot fathom that I just watched the entire video not realizing the length.

This video caught my eye. I worked at the plant that makes the castings. PHB die casting in Fairview Pennsylvania is where they are made. I made all the parts that are zinc. The metal is ZA-27. I probably touched tens of thousands of those parts. My carpal tunnel flared up just watching you tear it apart. Bonus info....PHB stands for Parker Hilbert and Benson, the Jeezless slave drivers that own the plant.

This video actually saved my ass. The girlfriend had been wanting one of these mixers for years, but is too cheap to bite the bullet and pay out for one. Well, the neighbors were cleaning out their house, due to rebuilding after a fire (everyone was thankfully safe, and the house is on the fast track to being rebuilt,) and they just damn well threw one of those mixers out! Literally, from a third floor window. Well, I not being fool enough to pass up the chance, asked if I could have it. They said sure, and I brought it home. of course the damnable thing didn't work, even after applying a doming hammer with liberal gusto. I was just about to tear the thing up and keep the gears and maybe the motor in case I needed to build something to kick my own ass for me, but I remembered you had done a video taking one of these things apart, and it might help. Damned if it didn't, because it turned out that the varistor on the bottom had straight up sheered off and flown down into a crevice inside of the housing. Guess the impact had pulled out the weak solder joints, and I hadn't questioned the two empty holes (something every man should take the time to do.) Fixed the mixer up all well and good, and I was a hero for at least the next twenty minutes, until the girlfriend told me I could use it to make us a batch of bagels, at which point my noble efforts were forgotten.

I had a similar experience, my sisters-in-law was throwing hers out, but I caught it before she threw it out the proverbial window. That mixer was a mess though. She literally never used the dang thing so all of the food grade grease separated, mind you this was an older model which had about 16oz of grease on the gears. After years of no use, it separated and leaked all over the outside of the machine. I took it home, disassembled it, cleaned everything (took 1.5 hours) and then liberally applies new food grade grease. The thing works like a charm now, I also told my wife it has to be used monthly so that doesn’t happen again. She bakes a lot more now than she used too ;)

Seriously, it's an amazing way to present information. AvE is very deserving of his growing follower count Just watching all of his tear downs will teach you so much about how things are put together and how they function; which in turn will come in very handy when things invariable go wrong. You'd be surprised how much "junk" can be made completely serviceable again just by taking it apart and replacing a few tiny components. Great channel.

I'm a little late to the party, but the cantilevered PCB is a design decision to concentrate strain on the board. PCBs don't like strain, of course. The metal all around the PCB doesn't mind strain from vibration - it's homogeneous metal in elasticity. When you couple the PCB to both sides of a vibrating metal chassis, you force the board to strain with the metal, very likely in its plastic region. That leads to cracks in the traces, dendrite growth and eventually traces lifting off the PCB. When you cantilever the board, you can control where the strain is located on the PCB and limit the traces exposed to that strain. Other things like the electrolytic caps are mounted on robust tractes with tons (as you pointed out) of solder to hold it to the board, and those legs are strained well within their plastic region (indeed, it's a property of the caps that component manufacturers charge extra for). Great video! Looking forward to perusing your library.

That’s probably right. My guess was less vibration and was thinkinging the PCB might expand/contract differently than all those thick alloy parts and it was to prevent stretch/squinch.

I know im 6 years late to the party, but i can answer some questions. I worked as a maintenance and automation controls technician at the manufacturer that casted the beaters and hooks for these mixers. The mixers are painted through a powder coating process. Whether its a form of enamel or plastic i dont know, but i was always told powder coated paint. As far as the base metal they are all cast aluminum (minus the whisks). And the broached section is formed during the casting using an inserted core with that "j-hook" feature. Love your vjos and what you do. This Old Tony showed me i can justify having my own machine shop purely for a hobby, and you keep my engineering passion thriving.

I stripped out the gearing on my wife's Kitchenaid grinding up an entire frozen turkey. She was not happy. But I too was amazed when I opened it up at how well built and serviceable the damn thing was. The gear I burned through was a sacrificial Nylon gear. I remember everyone being furious in the part reviews that it was a Nylon gear... but man, that was part of the design beauty. Instead of burning out the motor or wrecking some expensive metal gears, there's just a little nylon part you can keep a bunch of spares for around. A real metal gear would actually serve the manufacturer better because you're more likely to destroy the whole drivetrain. So, two things surprised me about this teardown... 1 is that there doesn't appear to be a sacrificial gear in the drivetrain, so with the professional version you're also given more trust not to overdrive the thing. And 2 is that the grease doesn't look like the black food-safe grease that mine was packed with.

Yeah I'm 2 years too late, but in the off chance you see comments still, I have a Kitchen Aid mixer from the early 70s. Still works, and the design is almost identical to the one in this video. I haven't taken it apart so I don't know what the motor controller is like, but one notable change that's obvious is that the motor brushes are replaceable on the unit I have via a pair of threaded caps in the side of the housing. I've never had to replace them, though. The attachments have the same coating (or at least very similar) and they've been around 40+ years so I think whatever they use is probably fine. The whisk I have uses, I think, aluminum rather than zinc. Anyway, this has been one of my favorite videos of yours.

We bought our base model Hobart/Kitchen Aid mixer shortly after my wife and I were married in 1979. So it is pushing well over 40 years old. We could not afford the "Pro" model in those days. The bowl in the base model can be removed and set on a countertop and it won't tip over and spill, which makes it more convenient. Our unit is so old the DC brush covers are accessible from the outside of the main casting. No disassembly required. Never had to replace the brushes. Our mixer motor used to cog at low speeds when we first used it, but since the brushes have broken in it runs pretty smooth now. Wife used it today to make pizza dough, still works perfectly. One of best appliances we ever purchased. You do a great job of reviewing, so I subscribed.

In reply to the painted dough hook: I just inspected the one my wife has been using for the last 17 years. She uses the HELL out of it! She sat down and calculated that, just for cinnamon rolls and icing, that thing has accumulated well over 1,000 batches, and on top of that there are the hundreds of batches of cookies, cakes, and pie dough. Total damage consists of 4 small chips off the boss that attaches to the mixer shaft! I'd say that qualifies as durable! By the way, don't expect the same level of competence on their cheaper line. The one she had before this suffered a gearbox failure because the multi-stage worm gear (yuck!) box partially melted when used for two successive batches of dough. That's a whole different beast!

I was chatting with KitchenAid representative over the phone .. I shared your video with KitchenAid call center in Tennessee .

This is a real tribute to this machine - he didn't destroy anything and treated each part (for the most part) with great respect.

I had a KitchenAid mixer for over 20 years, probably more like 30. Last month I replaced it with one that looks almost exactly like the one you just tore apart. The old one was still working fine but I really wanted that soft start feature so it didn't sling flour all over the damn kitchen. In between the two were plastic gears in the drivetrain and KitchenAid took a lot of grief over that on the internet. So my old one had metal gears and the new one has metal gears. What happened was KitchenAid was owned by Hobart, sold to Whirlpool and Whirlpool tried to cost reduce the mixer and got consumer blowback so they switched back to metal gears after all of the KZread videos showing how to replace the cheap plastic gears. By the way I just bought one of these for my sister for a housewarming gift. SKOOKUM!

We've had one for about 7 years now. The paint on the implements has held up fine for us, no chipping or flaking. If I ever need to replace them I might go for stainless to eliminate the matter altogether. One of the things that really impressed me was the service. My wife's parents bought ours for us as a refurb. The first one we got crapped out after about 6 months, so we called customer service. As soon as I told them it stopped working they got the ball rolling to ship us a replacement, and to put the old one in the box the new one came in so UPS could pick it up the next day. No hassle, no dickering, easy peasy. The replacement has been trouble free since.

jonesgerard The only one I've repaired was worn out on the only part aVe didn't take apart. The gear that the mixing shaft spins in had worn to the point that it'd spin when not under load but would slip with the touch of a finger. This was in a bakery that made dog cookies and the dough was mostly peanut butter, sweet potato, flour, and oats; so pretty thick and dry and required a good bit of torque while using the regular mixing paddle at medium to high speed. I assume this is one reason why the manual has the warning that was mentioned about not mixing bread dough at high speed.

We tried a 6 quart "professional" model and it broke down within months after the same type of use as the Hobart. From the start, the lift mechanism was flimsy and wobbly and the motor did not sound as strong and it's sound worsened as time went on. Soon, something broke in the head and caused a catch and clunk as the beater went around. Then we had to fight KitchenAid to honor the warranty. It's gone but the Hobart is still going along.

This man’s play with vocabulary is 👌🏽 I love it.

I’ve had my kitchen aid mixer for 15yrs and mums had hers for 40 yrs and with absolutely no problems. I’ll be my daughters one when comes to it.

My mother has had one for at least 45 years. The implements were panted back then to. We never had any problem with the pant chipping. My mothers bowl was fasten at the bottom with threads on the base of bowl and a stainless plate mounted on the bottom of mixer mixer. In order to remove the bowl, the top of the unit was on a hinge and lift up on a 45 degree. There was was a locking lever on the right side to keep the top of the unit from bouncing around during mixing. I think your model is labeled professional because the way the bowl attaches. The bowl is probably a thinner gauge of steel and would not be able to handle the torque if it had a threaded base. The numbers on the casting probably indicates the year of casting. Crossing out the years with holes around the numbers.

I've got some good 1000's of hours on these bastards in restaurant kitchens. I'm not surprised at all by how beefy they are inside. Point of failure on these is always falling. They take a lot of abuse, and will run forever, but they don't bounce. That nice heavy duty top casting dents just fine when it falls off a counter to a cement floor. People turn them on and walk away, and then 30 seconds later it vibrates right off the counter. They get run too hard for too long and get super hot - grease starts dripping out of the drive head into the bowl. I've seen that on heavier duty mixers too, though, and the situation can go on for a long time before the manager cares enough to do something. If you've eaten at a restaurant, you've eaten that grease. Torque is good, but it stalls easily on a few pounds of cold butter that haven't been broken up. That whisk attachment doesn't last long enough for the lack of paint to matter - the wires break off long before the metal gets nasty. The paint on the paddle and hook holds up well. You don't normally put anything hard enough to chip the paint in a mixer. That being said, it'll mangle a spoon without bothering the paint much. The spot welds on the bowl break - tabs and handles pop right off eventually. Not a cheap item to replace, considering. Lack of bearings is no problem. Things get super loose over time, but I've never seen one grind itself to death. They all fall off the counter eventually, so this doesn't matter.

Most likely the grease is an H1 or H2. As he mentions in the video, the grease could be a calcium sulfonate which are normally formulated as an H1 food grade grease. If the grease were to be a simple lithium or lithium complex grease, there is no way it is food safe. Aluminum complex greases are the most common food grade greases, however, calcium sulfonate are gaining ground. The color of the grease looks very similar to the colors calcium sulfonate greases naturally are. With how well this item was built, I would think they would choose a quality grease for the gear system. A calcium sulfonate will last quite a long time in this application.

People regularly get rid of appliances when cosmetic bits break, or when 'nicer' appliances come along.

One of the best purchases I've ever made for my wife. She would burn through $100 mixers about every 6 months (was only baking cupcakes as a side job). Got her this exact model and it has made hundreds of cakes and thousands of dozens of cupcakes...no issues. Expensive? Yes. Well built? Fuck yeah.

When I worked in the hotel maintenance industry I took one of these mixers apart because the Bake shop managed to break it. One of those bigger front drive gears stripped 3/4 of the way around. I was able to get parts to repair it, but I did take about a month and a half.

@AvE don't know if I'm too late but, KZread just suggested it. The codes in the casting are when the part was produced. It's a date code, year in the middle and a dot for each month around the year. The one you have was made 7/15 = July 2015.

I have one of these mixers literally the same model. It doesn't move when it's operating at least not much. As for the beater bars with the paint on them they hold up really good because they don't come in contact with the bull there's an adjustment process if it is touching the bottom of the bowl. The reason you're seeing what you're seeing is they're essentially scaled down version of the commercial products. I've worked out with a stand on the floor KitchenAid that held about 10 gallons of batter. It was pretty impressive. Been a fan of KitchenAid ever since. That goes back to 1973. I highly recommend that product. Their accessories are a little bit pricey and are not as well built as the mixer

My mom's had the same one for 8 years and it still looks brand new, and works as if she took it out of the box yesterday. These are money well spent.

Having worked in aluminum die casting 25 years plus, those dimples are more than likely part of a date code system. G.M. did a similar process on their transmission castings. The casting date was changed once a week, each day a prick punch was added. This aided in the traceability of the manufacturing date, should a problem arise.

EXACTLY Thats why I thought it was this model that was made by the transmission casting company. Used to hate the cast stuff it shatters everywhere when your wrecking stuff.

I know I'm super late to this party, but figured I'd offer some insight (in case anyone was still wondering). The "J-mount" system that KitchenAid uses for attaching mixing heads to the mixer is not a secondary machining process. It is all done during casting. So the square bottomed broach is not a feat of magical machining, but just a simple case of something being in the way when the liquid metal flowed. Same for the hole.

I have had the smaller version with a fixed bowl, lift top. Sure, I have had the thing repaired 2 times, which costs almost as much as the new ones sell for, But I keep telling myself that they don't make them as good today. It is still going strong for roughly 35 years now. All in all, I can't complain. Mine might have been made prior to Whirlpool buying the household division.

42:55 These marks are just for QC, so if there is a bad batch of castings, they can be tracked down to the months of production. This particular casting was made from the batch cast during the seventh month of 2015. Strictly for tracking purposes, so the months before and months after don't have to be junked if a certain month's production turns up some bad-structured parts.

My mother has had one of these for close to 20 years. She doesn't use it all the time, but every year before christmas she makes a shit ton of cookies. Every year for about 1 month it gets a hell of a workout and the (plastic) paint is still in great shape and it still runs strong.

Great video, as always. We have had a Kitchen Aid with the painted beaters since 1996, the paint holds up great. We have made a lot of cookies and bread. The beaters look like new. The motor is starting to sound like it is struggling though so an inspection is in order.

@AvE Stamping at 43:00 is a production stamp. The number is the year and a dot for each month. Quick look indicates it was put in service in 2013 and this part was cast in August of 2015.

Terry Stolmeier so every month they just each whack another dot into the die? hmmmm clever, would a die last that long?

That's pretty much it. This information can be found in most cast parts at some point and comes in lots of configurations but essentially mean the same thing.

Agreed. I work in plastics injection molding and some of our older dies have similar methods of identifying when a product was made. It helps if you get a customer complaint to know when the part was produced if it was a stock item that might sit a while before shipping.

AvE has a beard. I feel like I saw a glimpse of God.

@Gabriel Gontijo So rotting in some hole in the ground dead now some time...

I really enjoyed this video. KitchenAid is all that has been in our family for 70 years. Mom's original from the fifties that came with a glass bowl is still going. All the kids got one as a wedding gift back in the 70's and 80's, and they get used a ton. Keep up the excellent videos.

Dude i love the unpacking, just so delicate

43:00 obviously manufactured date... one dot per month ... when you run out of years it's time for a new mold/die...

Put a few dabs of silicone on the circuit board and you're good.

Brian Tracy When I worked in tool and die we would dimple it everytime it was serviced. There are way more than 12 punch marks around the numbers. Once the tool is running solid parts they run the tool til is blows then you rebuild it for the processing company. They won't dimple it but maybe once or twice in 2016 and 2017 for PM's or if they crash it. It will have a lot of service in the beginning of its life and at the end of its life as the components in the mold wear in and then slowly wear out in its final years of production

0:20 Careful, you almost blew your cover

You know it's good cause it's a 5.7 liter

I've had one for years, used very heavily! No problems with beaters and still looks like new. Great machine!
