OILING/GREASING INFO.FOR OLDER KIT. AID BLENDER/MIXER

From Kitchen Aid they only come on a new motor. I am a Kitchen Aid service agent and I remove them from burnt out motors and keep them. Look for a service agent near you and see if they can help you out. I have no idea where you are, I'm in New Zealand.

You could try asking this in the Tefal part of this forum instead of the Kitchen Aid area as folks who know Tefal may not be browsing this area. You could also be a little more specific about exactly what the fault is that needs repairing.

Is it a Kitchen Aid KSM150 mixer as in the subject or a blender as in the body or neither? I'm struggling to visualize a nut holding an upper shaft bearing in either one.

Try Reliable Parts.ca. Everyone else was out of stock for Jenn Air small appliances, but I was able to oder a part for my blender from them. Looks like they ship to USA

Is it getting hot when you operate it? If you run a mixer for a long
time, the motor will get very warm. On the older units, when the
motor overheats, the various parts of the motor and its container
may start to melt. Mixer motors are not designed to last forever and
a replacement motor may be available from the manufacturer.
Another way is to purchase another similar mixer as you can on
eBay and swap parts.

Leaking of oil in a stand mixer is not necessarily indicative of a large problem.

Kitchenaid stand mixers are overpacked with oil to last the lifetime of the motor. If the motor sits idle for some time (is not used), the oil may begin to drip from the gears and settle. Oil leakage may primarily be seen from around the beater shaft or planetary action.

A stand mixer can lose up to a 1/4 cup of oil before it needs to be serviced.

It is recommended to run the mixer on speed 10 for 2 minutes in order to redistribute oil back into the motor. In order to prevent future occurences, this is recommended to be done every 3 weeks if mixer is not being used.

The Australian outlets will zap that blender - you need to purchase a 240V to 120V transformer in order to make it work.

Have you tried greasing it near the blade. I read in my instruction book that sometimes they seize if they aren't used often. They also suggest trying to soak the wand in a pot of hot water for a minute or two and then trying to use it in the water. Hope this helps
