If the Stand Mixer stops due to overload, slide the speed control lever to “0” (OFF) and unplug the Stand Mixer. After a few minutes, the Stand Mixer will automatically reset. Plug the Stand Mixer back in and slide the speed control lever to the desired speed and continue mixing.
Your KitchenAid needs lubrication to do all that handy mixing and whipping, so inside the machine is a lifetime's worth of solid grease. When you turn on your mixer, the grease distributes throughout the gears to ensure smooth operation.
On average, KitchenAid stand mixers carry a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. That said, their longevity largely depends on how frequently they're used and how well they're maintained. “A KitchenAid mixer should last you many years, as long as you're not abusing it,” says David.
To cut butter into flour with less effort and easy cleanup, you can also use the KitchenAid® Pastry Beater that attaches to your stand mixer. Whichever method you use, it is important to work quickly to keep the butter from getting too soft.
KitchenAid recommends you change your grease once a year! This is relevant to how often you use your machine. For those who have oil leaking from the Planetary Ring (the chrome ring) then you need to change your grease.
This can happen if something hard fell into the bowl while mixing (e.g., a measuring spoon, the attachment hub cover or hard ingredients) Most likely a gear in the mixer motor has become stripped or damaged, which would require repair or replacement.
Some mixers have an internal Thermal Overload Protection switch, which will turn the mixer off if it overheats, depending on what you were mixing and the length of time the mixer was in use. Once the mixer has cooled down completely (about 30 minutes), the mixer should be able to be turned back on.
