Michael L Santa Ana , CA December 26, 2015 Appliance: Model BASIC KITCHENAIDE MIXER 20 +year maintenance Checked out You tube video. Easy tune up. One gasket was damaged and I did not notice that the brush holders has no brushes. I believe a quick call to Appliance parts pros will fix this, besides I need a few more parts. I expect to get another 20+ years from this KitchenAide mixer, once repairs are competed. Watch out for the single lock washer located on the rear upper housing screw, you don't want to lose this!

Richard H Salem , OH December 06, 2015 Dripping oil into the mixing bowl Ordered on Tuesday, was delivered on Thursday, great service. Took mixer apart, and replaced the main shaft, oil seal on the shaft, and the mating gasket between the primary and secondary gear drives. All parts were exact replacements. Only thing that could have been better would have been if I could have printed only the exploded view on the web site rather than the whole parts list to get it. Easy to use and order from this site, Thanks. Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
