    How to change the belt in a Bodum electric mixer?

    Question moved from Cars and Trucks. Stand Mixers don't normally have belts and I don't believe this one does as I can't find spare belts. They are operated by nylon cogs that run in grease. The most likely reason is the she shear pin has sheared. This is a small pin like a nail that goes through a cog or shaft and shears if too much load is put on the mixer beater or dough hook. It often happens if you make bread and have the speed too high. https://www.google.com/search?q=change+the+belt+in+a+Bodum+electric+mixer ..

    Harbinger LP9800 mixer keeps shorting out, what can we do? Its been happening for a few months.

    You will need to get a qualified electronics technician to look at it. The issue could be anywhere on the circuit boards inside the mixer. Unless you know what you are doing don't try to repair it yourself as you could make the problem worse.

    After mixing bread dough the mixer head will not tilt up to get the dough out of the bowl

    Push the head down before pressing the button on the mystery mixer. There is probably dough under the hook with it pressing the head up and is locking the catch. You can pull out the dough around the dough hook to make it easier. All questions need 'make model (what it is)', first 3 words please

    Good substitute for "Sunbeam power unit lubricant"?

    All question need full 'make model (what it is)' please. Duplicate question deleted. Press Refresh to see your question. The only thing we know it that is made by Sunbeam and it MAY be a food mixer because that is the category it is posted to. Look at what is there already. It is black and greasy, it will be GP Graphite Grease. If it is white and greasy, you can use white Lithium grease in spray or tube. If it looks like normal oil, use 3 in One. This is a service manual for a vintage mixer, it say to use a special grease, but from the description high temperature bearing grease would work. https://studylib.net/doc/25985112/instructions-for-servicing-vintage-sunbeam-mixmasters Nothing based on the the quoted words. https://www.google.com/search?q=Sunbeam+power+unit+lubricant ..

    My Kitchen Aid mixer flashed a spark and banged whilst I was using it. The plug fuse has not blown but the mixer does not work.

    Could be anything, but could be the switch, the electronics board, motor windings, the carbon brushes or worn insulation somewhere. Odd that the plug fuse didn't blow. It needs electrical diagnosis to find out what went wrong.

    Blakeslee A717 Commercial Mixer With 7 Quart Bowl. The snap ring on the dough hook doesn't hold.

    It is not a make I have heard of before, which is odd, because I spent 50 years in catering and hospitality. Parts are available according to this. Getting to the snap ring would be the issue. You may be able to pull the old one out with a right angle pick and push the new one in. https://www.google.com/search?q=blakeslee+a717+parts ..
