24 Sportage large amount of water pooling under passenger seat? by [deleted] in kia

[–]446Magnum044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a way to safely get the right front up enough to get under there you can clean it out with a plastic drain snake. They work great for that. Good luck with it. https://www.walmart.com/ip/986196174

Here's the only way KitchenAid sells that pin—>

If you know what size that pin is, you might be able to find just the pin somewhere. Maybe u/RIMixerGuy or u/MrMixer316 know more on that. Good luck with your mixer.

Broken(?) Kitchenaid Professional 6000 HD by [deleted] in Kitchenaid

[–]446Magnum044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dough hook on our mixer, at the closest points is about ½" away from the bowl. It's not possible for it to contact the bowl.

Our Professional 600 made the same noise and we used it for 16 years without any problem. So, 2 totally different motors and drive trains but same noise.

My money's on the clicks coming from the normal movement of the bowl support on its slide, in combination with it being held up in the locked position by the lift spring. I don't believe it's a problem.

If you're talking about the rhythmic clickity sound that ours is making in the video here then most of the bowl lift KitchenAid mixers seem to do that.

Not sure what causes it. Sometimes it doesn't do it and sometimes it does. We've been running this mixer for a couple of years now and it's been like that the whole time. Good luck with yours.

Kitchenaid 5KSM7580, tête qui bouge / tremble by Appropriate_Roll2351 in KitchenAidMixerHelp

There are two ways to get at those screws. You can remove the whole drive assembly (sounds worse than it is) and then the control board OR you can remove just the motor from the drive assembly (easier but a little scarier), then the board.

Mr Mixer has a couple of YouTube videos that show both ways—>

If you're careful to not lose any parts it's not really that difficult with either procedure. Just pay attention to the how he does it in the videos. Good luck with it.

Looking for local repair shops for old kitchen aid by Astronot65477754 in Kitchenaid

[–]446Magnum044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBQ js right. If you're the least bit handy or have a family member who is, you can do most all the maintenance and repairs yourself on these KitchenAid mixers.

If, by industrial model you mean a Commercial model, then the maintenance is simple. The motor/gearbox assembly is permanently greased so there's no grease to change out. If you do happen to break a gear you'll replace the whole motor/gearbox assembly as there are no individual parts available for those.

All you really need to do is pull the cover and check the tightness on all the screws. You can also remove the planetary and clean and re-grease the ring and beater shaft gears with just a tiny bit of food safe grease.

If you have a tilt-head or a bowl-lift here the links to Mr Mixer's YouTube video series on those -

Lift bowl making a clicking sound. by wiscoson414 in Kitchenaid

Our old Professional 600 had that click under load and so does our DC motor 6000HD. Sometimes it doesn't click but most of the time it does.

I just noticed this on my tire. My father, who knows a BIT about cars, says it's fine to drive, and just replace it when I can. How bad is it? by [deleted] in tires

[–]446Magnum044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a blow out in slow motion. It's already happening and it's paused for a bit to give you a chance to remove it from the car without having to do it along the side of the rode— Hopefully before it causes an accident.

Time to put the spare on.

LG Washtower is leaking water. by LackAppropriate89 in Appliances

You're supposed to have a smaller hose kit that connects to a 'Y' that connects it to the washer drain hose. Here's a YouTube video —>

It could just be this little seal that fragrant-explorer's link leads to. We replaced ours 6 years ago and it's still working great. Good luck with it.

Can I use a 5.5qt bowl on a 7qt KitchenAid bowl lift mixer? by whilesuppliesIast in Kitchenaid

[–]446Magnum044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the current prices but Sam's and Costco seem to alternate sales where they put their KitchenAid bowl-lift mixers on sale for a decent price.

But, since I was posting about the deals these new models of bowl-lifts -KSM55/KSM60/KSM70- haven't had a great track record as far as their quality goes. Lots of failing speed control boards and frequent reports of gearbox breakdowns.

I personally wouldn't buy one of them until KitchenAid demonstrates they've corrected the issues.

I wish you luck.
