This was the first time I attempted to take apart a small appliance. When I got everything disassembled I found that the mixer needed a new Gasket and a new Dowel Pin. I found AppliancePartsPros.com online, contacted them, and ordered the new parts. I was especially pleased that they had a video on their site to show me how to disassemble the mixer and re-assemble it. This video gave me the confidence to complete the project. My wife can now continue all of her baking with the same machine she has been using for over 30 years. She loves that mixer and had a big smile on her face when I turned it on and it sounded like it was new. Thank you for the great support.
