Hi, my name is John I will do my best to assist you.

Knowing the model number of your mixer will be helpful in trying to locate an assembly diagram, and part info to better assist you. Please provide the model number.

General Suggestions

As you may be aware your mixer has a safety feature that disables functionality if the unit gets to hot due to overloading. If this may be a factor and you haven't already, unplug the mixer and let it rest for at least an hour and then try it again.

You mentioned that the motor is working but the attachments don't turn. Some mixers are equipped with an mechanism that will only allow drive from the motor to engage if the attachments are firmly locked in place. The problem may be here.

If the unit was overloaded, it is possible that the plastic gears were damaged. Unless I can locate an assembly diagram of your specific model I will be unable to give you more detailed information.

If you feel comfortable with a trial and error approach you could carefully disassemble the mixer for closer examination. Most mixers housings are held together by 4 or so screws. Be careful when separating the housing halves as some parts may disconnect, or detach. If you open it slowly and pay close attention you should be able to see how things are assembled, and understand how they are going to come apart. Make notes for reassembly.

If you find that the gears are damaged, you will most likely have to contact the manufacturer to locate replacement parts.

If you have more specific questions please post comments to this thread and I will endeavor to monitor new activity and respond as soon as possible. I recommend that you "bookmark", or "add to favorites" this page for your convenience.

Very hard to find service manuals for Braun applicances unless you are part of their service network. Generally the gears should be separate from the motor. The challenge will be to get to the motor and gear without breaking the casing. It might help to provide a model number. My experience is get a new unit for around $60-70 eg. Sunbeam.

I am not marketing for the Sunbeam but they are a value for money. Make sure you get the 650 watt unit if you do heavy work.
