Hi i just had my mixer spark and then the motor

Motor seems to be burning out.

The bad sparking can be several different things. The bad sparking at contact points or burned contracts on the switch can be caused by a faulty phase control or wrong wiring. Open the mixer, check wiring, if that is correct remove an replace the phase control board.
If the bad sparking is at the motor brushes this can be caused by worn motor brushes, rough commutator, faulty armature or shorted motor field. First remove the brushes and check that they are not worn to less that 5/16'. Replace with new brushes if excessively worn. If Brushes are fine remove and check armature. you will most likely have to replace the motor/armature assembly.
Thank you,
Colleen

In the mixer there is a worm drive gear, it is a fail safe so that you don't burn up your motor in just this insatance. the gear is nylon and when the machine is torqued too much the gear is designed to give out or strip. It is making a terrilble racket because all those chewed up teeth are now being milled and ground up while you are trying to use your mixer. STOP!!! the part costs about $8.00 USD and takes about two hours to fix. You should put a new gasget in but a lot of people dont want to spend the extra $6.00 buck because you have to buy new grease for this fix also, about $25.00 more. You must clean out all the old gear grease to make sure all the chewed up gear teeth atre out of the machine, then repair with new worm gear part and then re-pack with grease and add the new gasket and close up the machine all fixed. about 3 hours time $50.00 and a roll or two of paper towels. (The grease is real messy)

burnt motor ,not safe do not use

Hi Janis.

You have likely burnt the motor. That is the most common fault when the mixer is used for a prolonged time on a compact dough.

The best thing to do is ringing Sunbeam at the number listed on the owners manual, and checking what conditions for repair are offered.

If you have misplaced the manual, then track the number using Sunbeam website: Sunbeam.

Regards.

It sparked, too? It's dead.

The mixer motor has probably overheated, as proper use and care was not being followed with the stand mixer.

Bread doughs are recommended to be mixed on speed 2 only and never for longer than 7 minutes. With the resistance of a bread dough that is provided against the beater, mixing for over 7 minutes may overheat mixer and cause smoking.

Please consult your use and care guide to refresh your memory about how to properly use your mixer for making bread doughs.

Hi. You should consider a few things. They type of hook you use, can greatly affect your end result. If you're making a yeasted dough with a high protein percentage 12-13%, you should be using an "ED" hook, this is a spiral hook that has a sharp turn at the tip. You can find them on eBay for a competitive price. I believe that Hobart also sells them, but for a higher price. They are very good for mixing pizza type doughs, they also do an excellent job kneading the dough.

Have you checked the flour for lumps before it goes into the mixer? Have you tried sifting the flour?
Are you adding all the liquid and flour at once? If so try adding flour in stages to all the liquid. If you find that this solution helps you, please rate it. Good luck! ricardok45

IT NEEDS TO PROOF LONGER

Does the mixer work in any other speeds?Are you mixing pizza dough and in what speed?I service these mixers alot--i work for hobart.It sounds to me like you have a sheared key on one of the shafts.The mixer doesnt have a clutch.
