WE dont want to know who is behind the camera. We don't want to know about the predicessor, We just want to be able to open up the machine. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU.
Except it is about me. Find your info somewhere else 😅.
Really..Thanks for the visual help. I appreciate it.
you can easily fast forward without trying to ruin anyones day
it was a fun little diversion.
Thanks to your excellent video I was able to disassemble clean and regrease my mixer quickly and with zero problems. Much apriciated!
It's a pleasure to be of service
Hi Mr Mixer. I want to thank you for your 3 part video on greasing Kitchen Aid heavy duty pro. My things were in storage for a time in Phoenix AZ. So when my things got to me in N.H. and unpacked there was grease all over the packing that leaked out of the machine. It's so hot in PHX I get it. I didn't want to use it until I knew it was ok. So I found you. Just regreased followed your video. Your video was perfect. Also cute family. I'm 66 year old retired grandmother. Thank you vary much.
I live off of DIY videos. This is one of the most detailed and thorough I've seen. Thanks
Such a pleasure! I appreciate your kind words
Mr. Mixer rocks. His videos helped me through my K5-ss repair and regrease like no others I found on TH-cam. I wish I knew about him before I started. I found he has parts and food-grade grease for sale too. He also provided me with expert advice when I found two screws left over from my repair. He's funny in a corny way, but as a young dad, he needs to be. Congrats on your growing family. Support Mr. Mixer, a true American patriot!
Perfect - my inherited K5SS quit spinning mid-batch this morning, and it took me about five minutes to find your video, with exactly how to take apart this vintage mixer to prep for repairs. Thanks so much!!
Mr. Mixer: I received this amazing KitchenAid model as a hand-me-down because the power switch wouldn't stay in the off position. Kind of a hazard with kids helping me in the kitchen! I found a video of someone taking theirs apart and saw what a relatively simple fix it would be. I got really excited and made it most of the way through before I realized that my model was different and I was at a standstill. And then I found your videos! I was able to get down to the core, no problem whatsoever. (Watching your series of 3 videos sure made me wish I had a tub of that awesome grease!) And it was so wonderful to have a tutorial for putting it back together, in case I mixed up any steps or screws. I am so thrilled to have this hardy mixer that works completely. And now that the surgery is over, I can say that it was such a gratifying experience -- thanks to you!!
Thank you for this great tutorial. I also found additional help at the KitchenAid mixer group on FB. I had a great deal of trouble getting the four #3 Phillips head screws off, but using a ratchet for torque and then applying heat from a hair dryer on the most gunked up one of the four did the trick. These videos were truly so well done. Thank you, again.
My pleasure! I appreciate the kind words!
Great job explaining! Very clear and informative! Keep up the good work!
Yaaaay you finally did the k5ss! Time to get to work disassembling and cleaning mine!
You can do it!
I have that machine. Great information. Helped me a great deal. Thanks for the great video. Very easy to understand
It would be nice to have you explain everything I will ever need. Your explanations, demonstrations and close ups work well with your tone and inflections. I subscribed for more 🤟👍
Thanks Mr Mixer, you ROCK!
Great video!!! Very informative, well produced!
Thank you, I appreciate you being here
I just re-greased my wife's 35 year old K5 ss.. your video was perfect and it was so simple.. thank you.. great video
It's a pleasure
Mr Mixer. I followed your video of re-greasing my wifes k45ss and it came out amazing, I thought. everything was great but she just used it after my re-greassing and all speeds work but the Stir setting.. It was working before. what did i do.. tks JK
@@johnkennedy4478 you should watch our speed tuning video and adjust the speed plate accordingly
Hi Jake! 😀 Good thing for camera people, they are part of the most important work. 👍🏻
Agreed!
Best close-ups of bottom pin removal and plenetary ring.
Awesome!
Thank you sir.
Ahhh A200!😍
Thank you for the informative video! We cannot get the planetary pin out. We’ve been hammering away for 2 hours with a punch. We’ve tried multiple angles, a hairy dryer to heat it, ice to cool it, WD40. Any recommendations?
I just bought a K5SS and plan to disassemble and replace the grease soon. Is the paddle height adjust screw in the middle on the right just below the bowl lock?
If you mark the drip break with its exact position on the planetary before removing it, it may reassemble just...a bit easier. Tape would probably be suffice. I'm sure a dry erase would work but would get rubbed off during the re-greasing and cleaning.
Hi I'm literally in love with u again thanks
❤️ It's my pleasure
@@MrMixer316 update got this bitch working ayyy god bless you you're doing the lords work
Thanks for this great video! I have the same mixer and I need to regrease it for sure after so many years of use but I also need to fix the speed (there is no difference from low to 2) Is it like the other models or different? And the arms that are a bit lose :( I wish I lived closer to you so that I could have you fix it! Thanks again for your nice videos 😁
You are so very welcome, the speed control adjustment is the same as the tilt head model video
I'm looking forward to seeing you dive into a Hobart A200! I also wonder about those 10 quart machines from China, and am wondering if you've worked on those as well.
I've worked on some 30qt China stuff, they are basically cheap Hobart imitation
My K5SS has a little black button on the side of the lower housing. Do you know what it is for? It complicates disassembly a little bit because there are wires connecting the upper and lower housings, so you cannot get them very far apart. Thanks for the video. I have done a successful re-grease.
Hi. I have an idea that i need your opinion on. I bought a mixer to use as a backup mixer. Turns out the bowl on the HD is smaller than the standard bowl on the epicurean and proline. I want to buy a silver support arm and replace the one that comes on the HD so that it can use the wider bowls that i have. Is that doable?
Aloha, amazing tutorial. There are several floating around and yours is hands down the best.
I got all the way to removing the four #3 screws to detach the head from the base. Screws will not budge. Tried letting some silicone spray set to maybe loosen.
Any advice on how to get those four screws out if they do not want to move?
Impact drill maybe??
I have the same problem..
Thank you, I was wondering whether they were #3 or #4 screws. Thank you
I am having the same issue. Has anyone been able to remove the #3 screws? One came out very easily, the other three will not budge.
Hey there, looking for assistance disassembling older Professional model KSM50PWH mixer. To remove housing there are only two flat head screws underneath. Removed them but it didn’t release the housing. Also has 4 huge Phillips screws holding top to base. Should I remove all four or only two front, two back etc? Wanted to ask the pro before I proceed. Thx!
Hi Mr. Mixer, I recently purchased a K5SS stand mixer, without attachments. I ordered a set but the flat beater was hitting the bottom of the bowl. I used the bowl height screw, but I turned it too much and the screw fell out from the inside. I also must have turned it the wrong way, because now the other two attachments hit the bowl. Is it possible for me to repair this myself?
Hi Jake!!!
Hi Jake!
Hi :D Hope you liked the video!
@@bridgeburner100 Your videos are what I’ve been missing in my life. Seriously, I’ve been dreading the day my K5 breaks down. No longer!
We love you Allison, thank you for being active in our community!
I just got this unit used and it was working great. I was trying to clean the unit up because it was not cleaned up after using but the two plastic screws on the side I had removed to clean them and of course the springs popped out and now the unit will not turn on. Would that have anything to do with that or can be something else you think ?
It 100% does, check out our carbon motor brush video
Do you know how to take out the motor?
My stir speed is way too fast. Is there a way to slow down the stir speed on my K5SS? Thank you for the great video's!
The tilt heads are the same electronics so watch our how to tune your mixers speeds video and if that doesn't work for you, you'll likely be needing a new phase board
I just got a ksmc50s. What is the silver knob next to the speed control lever and how do I remove it? It is keeping the beauty and on.
I believe yes it's holding the beauty band and it's a safety feature to prevent you from accidentally bumping the machine into the on position in a commercial setting
Aleluya! After multiple atempt i did because this video. I have no words to thank you! God Bless you!👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☮💝
Happy to help!
Great video! Beautiful work! I just received a K5SS. The previous owner spray painted the mixer. Could you advise on whats the best way to remove the paint to bare metal before spray painting it? There is also some rusting on the bottom. Will sanding be enough to remove the rust?
I think just hitting the whole thing with sand paper will be the best route to clean the paint and rust. Otherwise it would need to be completely disassembled and sand blasted
@@MrMixer316 We decided to use sand paper. Could you advise on the grit for remove the paper as well as the grit for between spray paint coating.
Fan from Singapore
Being 2 months old, I'm sure you've already done this, but for future people that ask I thought I would share my experience on this.
The original finishes of all Kitchenaid mixers are powder coating. That means they are baked on. While it isn't impossible to remove them to the metal it will take a lot of work. Chemical peels or baking it could remove it. Sanding will take forever.
I recommend just burnishing up the finish so the paint will have a surface to stick to. It worked wonders for mine.
Each of your videos are gold! Quick question, where can I get the endcap screw for my KitcheAid mixer, model K45SS. Or perhaps you know the screw's thread spec? The online part stores want $15 (with shipping). Not happening. Thanks in advance! Merry Christmas!
I have some available for 12$ free shipping, not sure what the thread pitch is off the top of my head
@@MrMixer316
I’ll contact you via your web site for the screw, along with another part. I feel much better giving you the business than a faceless company. Thanks!
Any advice on stubborn pin removals (4:01)? I’ve heard warming up the pin with a hair dryer might work. I’m worried I’ve banged it up to the point of no return.
Send me an email mrmixer316@gmail.com
Question. What if that pin won't come out.. I can't for the life of me nor my hubby get it to come out.
my mixer makes a clunklng noise when I use bowl lift . Anyone know what it may be? makes no sense to me.
Do you have a video for the K5A or can I safely follow this tutorial?
This tutorial will work! The only really difference is how the power cord sits in its little housing. Otherwise you are a go!
I recently found and bought a used *"K5SS AS"* (wondering what the "AS" denotes- maybe the color? It's an off white... maybe "almond?")
Anyway, your video is the ONLY VIDEO I have found, or even made a reference to the K5SS, that shows the *"HEAVY DUTY"* on the trim band. You mentioned it's the successor to the K5S. *Any idea what year those Heavy Duty successors were built from?*
Needless to say, I was thrilled to see my machine on your video! Although, your green mixer makes me wonder if it *IS* the same mixer as the vibrant green color makes me think yours is newer.
I found my mixer at a thrift store with the attachments AND bowl - all for $75 out the door!
Can't wait to attempt to disassemble it and regrease it! It's my new *FAVORITE* KitchenAid mixer!
ALSO, is the *"Heavy Duty"* 325 watt motor a D/C or an A/C motor? *Is there a way an ordinary person can decipher that?*
I read that a 325 watt D/C motor has more torque than a 325 watt A/C motor. Any thoughts?
Thank you!!! Keep making these videos! You're the *KING of KitchenAid!*
Good find! That's a good price as this is one the best if not the best model you can own. AS would be the color but off the top of my head I don't know what color that is. They ran from 1978 til the early 2000s, I'm not sure the exact date they they removed them from the lineup, it's a 325 watt AC motor. The only mixers that kitchenaid sold with DC is the 7qt proline and 8qt commercial. If you turn it over and there is a sticker on the bottom with a serial number, I could get you an exact year
OH! That would be greatly appreciated! *THANK YOU!*
The sticker lists the *Serial # WD 3 1 6 5 5 6 8* and I realized the *MODEL # is actually K 5 S S A C,*
instead of the *"k5ssAS"* that I mistakenly listed earlier.
@@rattlecat5968 looks like 1993 is the production year!
@@MrMixer316*THANK YOU* (I goofed on one of the serial number digits.)
I feel like a FOOL! I misread the last two digits! I'm sorry! The *LAST TWO DIGITS are TWO - eight! Not "6 8."* Does that make a difference? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to waste your time 😟 Me eyes aren't what they used to be!
Hi Mr mixer all KA mixer has the same size gears? I need to change mine and don’t know what gear need to order. I have the professional HD that almost 22 yrs old, Thanks
sorry im just seeing these for some reason i didnt get notifications! The gears are all the same between the k5ss syle which is the same body type as yours and the tilt head machines!
@@MrMixer316 thank you 😊
👍
I've been hammering, wd30-ing, isopropyl cleaning the planetary pin on cycles and it is absolutely not budging. in fact, the pin started to mushroom out. I've now tried drilling a bit of it out and using a screw extraction tool, to see if I can break the friction, nothing. my next course of action is to use a Dremel and patiently grind it out... any tips before that? please I'm desperate
Have you hit it from both sides? Hit it really hard? If it still won't budge we generally drill them out but its not super common. Worse case we can get you a new planetary, they are relatively inexpensive!
@@MrMixer316 Thank you for the quick response! And yes I had hit it on both sides (very hard). I ended up drilling it out. I was surprised by how easy it was, I just gave it a center punch and worked my way up sizes. The Iron was very soft and I managed not to damage the planetary :)
I started this because I bought the machine used and cheap. It is making an awful noise and I now know it isn't the gears because they look good. I'll still re-grease them. I think the motor is just a bit loose., I ran it without the gears and noticed the noise disappeared when I put pressure on the stator. It's definitely a vibration noise, going to see if you have a video on the matter already or at least one to remove the motor.
Thanks again!!! hopefully I got it from here
We had to use a mini crow bar and applied heat to the big vertical pin in the center bc nothing else worked.
Similar for the professional 6qt? disassembly?
We actually have a 6qt tutorial on here currently!
Having trouble getting the pin out in order to take the planet off -any recommendations? Had my mixer since the 70s and never had it apart to clean. Haven't used it in quite a few years, but want to clean it up and degrease but the pin won't budge.
Make sure to use an actual punch and hammer, and sometimes you really have to swing hard! Try from both sides of the pin! Out of all the mixers I've repaired I've only had 2 pins that refused to come out!
Ok, got to get one of those, we'll try again after, thank you!
We got the right tool, pin came out with a little work. My machine has been cleaned and new grease and she is working great, she'll probably outlast me, lol! Thank you great videos!
@@craz4mom that is so great to hear! Happy to be of service!
I have a KSM5. Is disassembly basically the same?
Yes I refer to any of the variations that look like this as the K5SS, they are in essence the exact same machine!
Could you please advise how to remove the bolts at 5:24 if they are stuck? I've tried an impact driver, heat gun, penetrating oil and mine will not move. I can't open it.
I have never had an issue like that, I can not advise. An impact gun should have 100% take care of it. Make sure to use a Phillips 4 driver maybe with a socket and hit it with a rubber mallet?
@@MrMixer316 Thank you! I will try that and let you know if I'm successful.
@@MrMixer316 The penetrating oil soaked overnight and the rubber mallet didn't do anything, so I hit them with a regular hammer as hard as I could. Then they came loose. The hammer didn't hurt the screws at all.
Shout-out to Jake, he doesn't deserve that with his drip.
Hi Mr. mixer. I have a question for you. I have two artisan mini mixers that I acquired from an auction and upon inspection discovered they were display models. It appears that they are missing two components the cord and what I believe to be The speed controller. I was wondering if you have any experience with converting a display model to a working model. Also I follow you on TikTok.
Yes but it will likely be fairly expensive due to parts
Are they worth parting out?
@@cardude2191984 probably so, especially with bowls and attachments, but it would be like $125 minimum just for parts
@@MrMixer316 do you have a specific website that you order parts from or do you just use eBay
What does a mini mixer look like?
tapped and tapped and tapped with force and still can't get that dang pin out of the planetary ! Even came from both sides !
Oh no! Are you using an actual punch and a heavier hammer? Every once in awhile we will get a real bugger
@@MrMixer316 yes actual punch and heavy hammer, ugh I have the grease and already to go but no bueno amigo !
Is this the same model as a k4sswh?
It will be identical, the only difference is this has the 5 qt bowl
Hi Jake! lol
Where is your store and your email?
You talk way too much.
And yet you're here because I also provide the best info. It's almost like you can't have your cake and eat it too? This is my content, and while your opinion is valid, it won't change the way I do things! 🖖
