DanCole42 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 My Kitchen Aid stand mixer (K5SSWH) got stuck up on some bread dough, and something is clearly busted with the gears. Does anyone know of a local repair shop that can take this (Fairfax)? According to Kitchen Aid, the nearest authorized repair shop is in RICHMOND. WTF?

I've called ten places and none of them repair these things! WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my Kitchenaid mixer (it's the one with the lever that raises and lowers the bowl) for more than 25 years and have never had a problem with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they "just don't make 'em like they used to." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 That's the same model I have. I wouldn't be surprised if they "just don't make 'em like they used to." Most likely metal parts of the past were replaced with plastic parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's the sort of thing you might be able to find used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may still be an appliance repair shop in Baileys Xroads, sort of behind the ToysRUS (Gorham St. and Seminary Rd). They carried parts for Kitchenaids and would be worth a call. They set me up right when we managed to destroy the auger on our sausage attachment about 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slarochelle Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone have any updated info on Kitchen Aid stand mixer repair shops? After mixing a cake batter, it only runs at speed 10, regardless of speed setting. This is the 525 watt, 6Qt model, purchased 8 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the repair shop mentioned above your post is still in business. They seem to be able to take on any small appliance that comes in the door. I know that's where I would start.
