I found a mixer just like this in a garbage dump. Took it apart, cleaned it, installed new brushes, and gave it a paint job. About 10 years later is it going strong! It's sad to see the "throw away" attitude but so many people lack the skills and confidence to just dive in. Great video.

About 35 years ago I bought a Sunbeam mixer without the stand at a yard sale. Worked fine, but was heavy for a hand-held. Then maybe 10 years after that, I was at an estate sale, I saw this thing that looked like just the stand. Bought IT, and sure enough, I now have the whole package. And it works fine now.

I'm 36 and at one point in time in my adolescence I was on the path to becoming a maker such as yourself, a bit of bad news regretfully took me in a different direction and getting back into this space comes with many challenges now that I'm an adult. I have kids now and so I'm working with them on their creations which brings me joy but truthfully seeing your videos is the cherry on top. I feel like you and I are so similar and I really whole heartedly feel like I should have pursued my dreams regardless of the bad new news and now a little voice in my head just keeps saying it's too late. I'm trying to ignore my internal naysayer and so I just want to say Thank you Adam for your consistency and bringing these visuals and commentary into my life.

I even found one of the peel and core attachments on marketplace that was busted, I fixed it and modified it to be a wire and cordage winder. Essential tool in my shop.

I went to an auction. They had several Kitchen Aid Artisan mixers, new in the box. But all the boxes had orange stickers on them as being returned as defective from new. I bought one very reasonably.

We replaced our small mixer at work a while ago because it wasn't running consistently. But I had faith in it and took it home instead of throwing it away and went through the same steps trying to tune it and then replacing the control plate. I don't remember if I felt like I had a reason to or just because I like taking things apart but I also went deeper into the mechanical side of it. Its full of grease, if you were wondering. Grease that will get everywhere. Also managed to break the shift linkage while in there and its held together with a zip tie or something I think. 5 years later I still never used it and now its on permanent loan to a coworker

Re-motored my Mom’s old K45. Was needed, as it’s 40something years old, and as far as I could tell, was the original motor. Now, it’ll probably run another 40 some-odd years.

One of the more charming things about Adam is that even with his truly vast knowledge and skillset he is usually just some dork trying to figure out how to do something with varying degrees of success and keeping at it.

I fixed my mom's 50 plus year old mixer and those required the speed spring to be attached to the speed control. Her machine still works perfectly after restoration.

Two of my favorite things to watch combine! The Repair Shop (Freevee) and Adam Savage doing something.

Im so proud of myself. I just recently successfully repaired two vintage fluorescent light fixtures. One was a lovely chrome fixture for the bath that dates from the 1940s. In addition to the base being chrome it also had this chrome shade in front of the bulb that tilted up and down so that it is both a reflector and a shade depending on how you position it. Some triple x steel wool polished that up nicely and I had to re-wire it from where someone had previously cut the wires to the switch and the built in shaving outlet. The other was a nice big heavy fluorescent desk lamp dating from the 1940s. This was functioning but it had apparently suffered a fall and it was damaged. A large molded metal base that supports a large shade via two square posts that extend up and then curve forward holding the shade, each with a ball socket joint. A fall had pulled one of the ball sockets apart and I had to disassemble the lamp to feed the wires back through ball socket and put it back behind its retaining ring. Everything went back together perfectly and the fluorescent bulb is quite old so it cast this nice vintage fluorescent green glow you dont see anymore.

I have always loved how repairable these mixers are. Manuals, replacement parts, and accessible fasteners.

I love buying and flipping KA mixers that are "broken" it's usually a speed controller that needs adjustment or replacement $15. It's a good idea to regrease them also if they are the older models.

I have an inherited one of these from the 70s (I assume) and it is still going strong. All I've done to it is some light cleaning and installing a grounded power cord. I was scared to use a machine that has a metal shell and an ungrounded (and unpolarized!) plug. I love how repairable they are!

Nice, mine has the same problem. Thanks for showing me how to fix this.

I fixed one of these... kind of lol... I couldn't get the spacing on that back plate quite right. Had a knocking sound after but it did work. I took the brushes out of the motor by accident, and was really tough to get back in. A 2 hr project turned into about 5 days, I took it completely apart and loved doing it, cool machine!

I worked on our kitchenaid recently because the gears had stripped out (there’s one plastic gear to prevent damage to the rest when it’s overloaded). It’s amazing how serviceable the gearbox end is built.

Something I've used in the past when working with electrics is an isolation foot switch, i.e. you have to actively engage to apply power. Then a bench mounted outlet with a little ON light and you should be good. I've also got a 'dim bulb' tester, which is a great way of applying current limited power.

I feel you. I just repaired a "broken" welder that only needed a new lock washer on a screw holding a drive gear.

The quality of these mixers is so high. They are absolute beasts and last nearly forever, particularly if they are well taken care of. Mine is a joy to use and my only regret is that it took me so many years to get around to using one.

I know you said this channel is not about How Tos. I do however remember you making a tutorial on how to make a halloween lantern with amazon parts. We made it, and it was my first "makers" project and I loved it. Wished since then you made more how-tos for two left handed people like myself.

Awesome fix! Good to know that if my mom or grandmas KitchenAid breaks parts can be gotten easily.

Reading/watching this, and describing this mixer as "old" makes me feel old, since we got one of these as a wedding gift, and it's still in our kitchen being used regularly.

Larger commercial mixers have a built in transmission on the gear box, not too dissimilar to what Adam has in his lathe. They are far more consistent regulating speed but it is hard to cram an identical system into something that sits on your counter top.

I can't wait to get my own KitchenAid mixer. I've wanted one for years.

Surprised nobody has posted about the governor's working, which I was really mesmerized by. It really looks like an electrical version of a steam engine's governor, where the centrifugal force of the running motor pushes out a powered pin (varying with speed), and the angle of the speed control plate then decides how many of the contacts on the plate the powered pin makes contact with. Overall it then regulates how long the motor is powered during a single rotation. During the slowest setting you could tell the motor was sputtering because it only got powered in parts of the rotation.

Adam is demonstrating exactly why it is important to purchase ONLY appliances that can be repaired. Many manufacturers have completely engineered away from that approach (like TV's) but look hard, and you can find them!

I have a 25-year-old Kitchenaid who ceased up while making Christmas cookies and found a tutorial on how to disassemble, clean, and lube it. I use it to make bread which is hard work for a mixer. Followed the steps now it is better than new. These machines just keep going and going.. You can't kill'm.

Kitchen Aid mixers are one of the best household investments because you buy them once and they last through generations of children as hand-me-downs and rarely ever break. They also function as a multi-purpose tool with things like a meat grinder attachment. I have one that's probably 40 years old.

Those 1999 through 2005 kitchenAid mixers are the best. Only 3 things ever go out on them, the speed control plate, the power supply and rarely the motor. Fantastically made.

i love watches these Adam One Day Repairs

As someone who does commercial kitchen equipment repair, and rebuilds large Hobart mixers, this hits me in the industry.

My parents have a 40+ year-old mixer and the only maintenance needed in all that time was the gears needed to be cleaned and relubricated.

In several years of watching Adam work in the Cave I think this is the most I've ever seen him use a manual screwdriver!

(Adam) "Don't lose the pin" (also Adam) "I made a new one because I lost the pin !"

Finally, some regular guy repair stuff! I knew you could do it! That's where quality built items are now in America. You have to look for industrial versions of things to find items that are repairable, because unlike consumers, business people cannot afford to keep wearing out - then throwing out things to buy new ones. Spoiler here... for something you intend to use for many years, you will SAVE money over that period by buying said industrial quality items and repairing them when needed. Sadly, since most buy cheap for the short term savings, the need for Emmet's Fix it shop has all but disappeared.

My partner ran one of those almost every day for 15 years-mostly making bread dough. It was a reconditioned trade-in when she got it. Finally the gearing just wore out. The parts were close to half the cost of a new one, so off to the great appliance home in the sky. Her mother's is on its second life with a new family friend after more than thirty years. The heavier one we now have is likely to outlive us both. Love appliances that can be re-built.

I have a KitchenAide 6qt lift-bowl mixer that's over 12 years old now. One of the sacrificial gears failed on a large ball of pizza dough. It was messy, but I got the replacements parts(gear and food-grade grease) for like $20. It took about an hour(mostly degreasing), but it was good as new.

Was just watching a video where a radio in a 10 year old GM product was no longer supported or stocked by GM. Even the suppliers of the radio did not have the parts to repair the radio. Two thumbs up for Kitchen Aid.

In my family, a KitchenAid mixer is what you get for a wedding present, and not any sooner. My Mom finally caved when she realized I'd never marry, and got me a KitchenAid for Christmas - this exact color, too. It's nice to know it's easily repairable! (She still has the one she got from her wedding, so, nearly 40 years old and still running like a dream.)
