ambpsg143, Sorry to hear you don't have power. I'm assuming the outlet you're using works and you've already checked your breaker box to make sure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped (or blown a fuse if you still have a fuse box). If all that checks out OK, then it is definitely a power issue inside the mixer, which means it a couple of things could be conspiring against you. My first thought is that It may be a bad controller assembly (the speed knob), or it could be the motor, but either way it's something you can check yourself. I'd start with the controller assembly and inspect that first. It's possible a connection has come loose. Unfortunately the whole controller assembly is on a little PC board filled with resistors, capacitors and diodes, which was not meant to be 'home fixed'. My 'expertise' ends at being able to recognize a resistor from a capacitor, but I don't get much deeper than that. A local small appliance repair shop should be able to determine if the controller assembly is functioning properly or not. The next possibility would be with the motor itself, but electric motors are pretty simple mechanisms and generally don't fail, so my bet's with the controller assembly. I hope this helps.
