How it works:

1) Am available to do individual repairs 1 on 1 . Cost $125. plus parts* if needed.

2) Have events around Portland where I spend the day working on mixers onsite at host’s retail location. Please review the Events sections for specific dates/locations. You’ll make a reservation and pay on host’s site. If I need to replace parts* the charges will be collected when you pick up your mixer.

  • I will text you a photo of the inside of unit when completed and ready for pickup

The service includes:

  • opening up the unit to remove old grease and regrease the gears with food-safe grease,

  • place transmission case gasket

  • inspect and adjust the mixer speeds and speed/head locking levers

  • adjust the whisk/blade height and pivot point mechanisms

  • inspect the electrical cord

  • thoroughly clean the exterior of the machine and polish the surface to make it look almost new

The Kitchenaid® approved food-safe grease is Made in the USA.

Note: I will try to get your mixer back to best possible condition but, over years of use the mixer’s tolerances and surface finish will show signs of wear.

I only work on select models that are listed in details below.**

If you’d like to host an event at a retail shop, DIY workshop or mixer fixer mixer, please contact me.

Photos are what mixer’s grease look like inside after 10, 20, 30+ years of mixing.

Fine print

  • The motor of your stand mixer MUST turn on for me to service it.

  • Please bring your bowl, wire whisk and flat blade attachments along with the machine, so I can adjust everything properly.

  • If your mixer makes a horrible grinding noise that’s OK and I will try to fix that.***

  • ***The worm drive gear is considered a “sacrificial gear” in the event a utensil falls into the bowl while an attachment is spinning. The teeth on the worm gear are plastic and immediately breaks to prevent the motor from burning out. I excavate the broken teeth from within the grease and replace the gear.
