Not sure if this is rust or just gross crud. I suspect rust. Did my best to remove it... but the only part I was not able to clean entirely. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #kitchenaid

Misc greasy parts. This was a pita. There was hardened grease behind the gears and in the gears, which hopefully was the cause of the loss of power on this. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #grease #kitchenaid

Reassembled and running... will have to mix some bread dough in here to see if it is back to full operational readiness. #kitchenaid #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #repair
@ai6yr Bravo! Glad it worked!
@MightyRedPanda Haven't tried bread dough, yet, which was what took this out of service.
@ai6yr Kitchenaids are often worth fixing - they last FOREVER.
There's at least one guy out there doing repair videos and selling refurb units and parts (https://www.mrmixer.store/)
