Bosch mixer doesn't run! (by 2 users)

posted by JoniL on Dec 10, 2007

It seems that the switch is out. The mixer is about 25 years old and I have used it fairly heavily in the past for bread (up tp 5 loaves) and my husband used it for grinding meat. Recently it stopped working when using the blender attachment - our daughter was making smoothies - it started again for one use and now that Christmas is here it stopped entirely. Moving/jiggling the on/off knob got it to go for a second then nothing.
Could it be the switch? How long do these mixers last? Would there be a local repair shop or is this something we could do?
Thanks for your help!

I have a similar problem with wornout switch. How do you take the unit apart to get inside to look at switch?

It sounds like the switch to me.mixers last awhile as long as there not overloaded.The brushes in the motor also go bad but i think the switch is your problem.Goto home depot/lowes and take the switch with you,dont forget to mark the wires.If they cant help you goto graingers (its a electrical/plumbing wharehouse).let me know,you can use an universal switch if the one you cant find isnt availiable.
