KitchenAid Mixer Re-Grease Pt. 3 Final Step (Classic, Artisan) Tilt Head 

Before embarking on the grease replacement project, I watched many youtube videos. These videos from Mr. Mixer are by far the best I found. I followed them step-by-step and the all event was painless. Thanks.

You just saved me $500. My mixer (20 yrs old) quit working. I was ready to throw it out and buy a new one. I saw your videos, so my husband and I took a chance to repair ourselves. The gear worm was destroyed!! We replaced it, cleaned out old grease and applied new grease. Now it works perfectly. Your instructions were clear and concise, right down to if parts potentially did not go back together easily. Thank you

Thank you!!! I've had my Kitchen Aid for over 20 years and never regreased 😢. Your 3 part series was awesome 👌🏻.

Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful. I followed the three videos and was successful in cleaning up and greasing, and putting back together perfectly! My mixer looks brand new, inside and out. The rubbing alcohol got all the dried up stained oil off. I am so very pleased. Thanks again.

A GREAT tutorial! My first time completing any such mechanical project. (67 year old lady here) Enjoyed the process as all instruction was so clear and easy to understand. I give it 5 stars ⭐️ !

I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for a very detailed and informative series! As you can see, I made it to Part 3, I didn't have any spare parts left in the end, which is always a good thing, and I hope to get another 10 years out of my KA mixer. For $10 can of grease and a couple of hrs of invested time, I feel it was an afternoon well spent.

Thank you soooo much for those 3 videos which make me feel a bit like a real handywoman! One of the gears came out of its housing, so my robot wasn't working anymore, but I ofc didn't know what was the problem before seeing it, meaning that I had to open it to find out what was going wrong... then I saw this black grease, as my KitchenAid is already 15 years old, and I decided, as anyway it was already dismantle, to replace it with a brand new grease... so I followed all your steps, also changed another gear - the plastic one - which was a bit worn and, miracle, it's working again, like a brand new one!

excellent demonstration/tutorial!

Amazing instructions; so easy to follow the whole process (1-3 videos). Thank you for taking your time to help us all out. I also ordered parts from Mr. Mixer and the parts were sent so quickly. A lot of other entities could learn a thing or two from him.

My planetary pin didn’t easily slide in…hopefully my hubby can help get it back in without jacking up the gear. Love this video…I almost was able to do the whole job myself 😅 Update: I got it done & with the everdime installed, regrease & gear change, she is running better than like new! Thank you so much for this 3 part series Mr. Mixer! Because of you I was able to restore my late Mema’s kitchenaid & it will be in my family for years to come ❤️

I just wanted to write a quick thank you! Trying to get my kitchenaid mixer serviced has been a less than pleasant experience so I decided to do it myself. I'm so glad that you created these videos to help all of us out. You're the man!

My best friend gave me her 30 year old Ultra when her daughter gave her a new Artisan for Christmas last year. It had never been re-greased. Started Friday night and finished last late Sunday afternoon. I had a heck of a time getting the pin out of the planetary, and had a harder time getting it back in. Your content is right on the money. Thank you!

I almost had to stop at the square bit for the screws, but thankfully my mom had a pencil case full of bits and I was able to make it to the end! Thank you so much. My KA was my last large gift for myself and I want it to last as long as I can make it. You are doing the world a huge service.

Thank you! You are very easy to listen to and follow. My 20* year old kitchen aid is back in business and quiet again. Peace and good health to you for 2024.

Excellent detailed tutorial. Nothing left to guessing. Coming soon 2hr documentary on boiling an egg. 😂

Intros that go hard: this one. I did feel a little overwhelmed how messy, old, and messed up looking my inherited kitchenaid mixer was, but watching this video, and hearing the top of the assembly fall into place when I finished was really rewarding. I just want to thank you for all your help through your videos, would not have bothered otherwise. Now back to baking and mixing!

Glad you cover old mixers. I have a 1977 tilt head that's still running strong. Didn't know you could re-grease them. Thanks!

Great tutorial. You sure make it look way easier than it actually is, but I guess you've been doing it a LOT. I was so looking forward to hearing the mixer run at the end after that nice maintenance you did. But I was disappointed you didn't give us that satisfaction. ;)

I started on regreasing my kitchen aid mixer in December 2023. I thought if I'm taking it apart might as well repaint it a color I like. 😂 Now it's April 2024 and I'm ready to regrease my mixer

Awesome set of videos! We were getting some oil dripping on our 24 year old mixer (never been serviced). I watched your videos and was able to get everything done. My only adventure was putting the planetary back on the vertical shaft would go into the unit too far and I was unable to align the pin. I finally got a paper clip in and pulled the shaft down until I could get a small punch in to pry it downward until I could get the pin in. Of course I messed up the speed control but I followed you other video to get it back in line. You are great!

Thank you , thank you....I followed you through all three videos of grease replacement, took me awhile with numerous stop and go time. Also had to order a middle gear from you. BUT I did it, got it back together today. What a relief, and it’s working very smoothly. 🎉🎉

Million thanks for your videos! Local repair shop diagnosed my tilt head mixer failure as "...broken motor to be replaced. No point of doing this as it costs 2/3 of the mixer". They offered to trade in this "dead" mixer for 50 bucks. :))) No way! After watching your videos I was able to regrease it and replace carbon brushes myself. As good as new!

Thank you so much! This series was fantastic. Great instructions

I love your detailed description on how to fix this. You don’t assume everybody has a fix-it mind. I think the only thing I would add is something my father taught me. When, taking something apart, lay it down in the order you took it off. That way, you only reverse your order for reassembly. That helped me a lot as a child learning to keep my bicycle clean and greased.

The 3 videos were the most complete and thorough set of steps to regrease a Kitchenaid mixer. Mr. Mixer showed all the steps without wasting a lot of time. Great job!

Thank you so much for your very detailed instructions! This was my first project maintaining a machine without my husband’s help, and you made the process fun and as easy as possible. I also very much appreciated that you had the re-grease kit available on your website. Thank you so much for producing high-quality content! 😀

Just completed a regrease on 29 year old mixer. Took 2 hours. Very satisfying! Note: the Everdime did not work on my mixer. The screw went all the way through and it fell off.

Just finished my re-grease of my 1998 mixer. There was no grease to speak of anymore on the teeth of the gears! She's purring like a kitten. Thank you so much for these excellent videos!

THANK YOU!! we have had a kitchen aid K45SS since i was a baby. I am now almost 30 and this thing was never re-greased the whole time it’s been in our family. I was able to take it apart, clean out the 25+ year old grease, and put it back together. I will say the pin holding the planetary in place was a real bitch to get out, and our machine now has a few battlescars to show for our adventure. BUT, it works better than ever and is beautiful and clean otherwise!

Used your excellent explanation today to help my sister regrease her mixer. It runs like a kitten now, and no more leaking dark fluid in the muffin mixture lol. Thanks agsin i love extending the life of a highly mechanical device. Peace brother!

Great videos that helped me fix my kitchen aid mixer. Thanks

You are a lifesaver!! I had no idea this machine needed regular maintenance...it's at least 15 yrs old...no problems until today. Came across your videos...you made it sooo easy and straight-forward! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge for free! I am so thrilled to have been able to do this on my own with your assistance. Kudos!

My husband and I just finished cleaning and re-greasing my kitchen aid mixer. We carefully followed your videos and boy did they help! I bought my parts from you and received them promptly. THANK YOU!

Thank you Mr. Mixer. You just saved me $300+ - I don't know if I should thank you some more or be mad that I'm not getting a new mixer. I guess I'll keep my Ultra Power for another 20 years.

Just did a full regrease of my ‘93 mixer I inherited from family by watching you. That thing was still perfectly calibrated. Thank you for the help!!

Thanks for this series - opened up my ancient inherited mixer that was, uh, not working right to find little chunks of gear missing and nasty grease everywhere but in the teeth. I'm fairly handy but watching this made it a million times easier. (Also the carbon brush video was a lifesaver.)

Best one yet. You’re the only one who mentions the old type and new type grease. I’ve watched a lot of videos on this subject and although they are all useful, I always felt they were making it up as they went along. Very few replaced the gasket. You know what you’re doing and great advice. Thanks

Thank you for this video set! Until I watched this, I was fearful about taking my 30 year old KitchenAid apart. I did it successfully, cleaned and re-greased her, and she runs like new!

You sir, are an excellent teacher. I thank you for these well done tutorials. Thank you.

Thanks so much. Made it to the end without any drama or spare parts. It was a bit daunting when it was all in pieces but your clear video made it simpler than I thought.

The Mr. Mixer videos are the best. So far I have done maintenance on my wife's 20 year old tilt up and on a Pro 5 we bought at a second hand store for our daughter in-law. Total cost on the Pro 5 was $125 for mixer grease and parts. Not bad for a $500 mixer. The Mr. Mixer videos provide everything you need to know and parts and tools are available at a resonable cost on his website. Thank you!

I was terrified when I heard metal-on-metal sounds coming from my trusty KA mixer after using attachments on too high a speed. No one in my area seems to serve KA mixers either! Following your videos helped restore my mixer to as good as new. Thank you SO much for posting this series!

Your a great teacher !!! Every little detail is covered. This is what RU-vid is all about. Amazing!!

Just wanted to say thank you for your videos and for making this easy for me! I followed all your steps and successfully regreased my 10-year-old Kitchen Aid! I'm so grateful you showed up on my For You Page on TikTok.

This series was so incredibly helpful! Great detail and tips at every step - made the whole process very straightforward.

This was the best tutorial I found! My kitchenaid is running beautifully, no more grinding noises. Thank you sooo much!

That you SO much for this series!!! I followed all three of your videos and was able to regrease my mixer!!!! Your attention to detail made this job a lot easier for me. 💕

I've seen a few other channels disassembling and reassembling kitchenaids, but they never taught how to do it in such detail. Thank so much for this!

Thank you for these videos, your instructions were super clear and easy to follow. You saved my mixer from going to the thrift store!! I ordered my re-greasing kit from you and can't wait to use my mixer again!

Mr. Mixer…you are the bomb! I tried to breathe new life in a 1970 K45 mixer and your tutorials were amazing. You even answered my phone questions and sent me helpful pics that really worked. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your how to videos on cleaning and re greasing the kitchen aid mixer. Its runs a lot smoother now. Keep up the great work.

Great step by step videos. Mine is 20 years old and one day it dawned on me this thing probably needs greased. Other than having troubles with that pin coming out, all went well. I feel like I have a brand new oiled machine. Thanks Mr. Mixer!

Thank you, Mr. Mixer. I wanted a Kitchenaid Artisan Mixer for Christmas and couldn't find one because the plant was shut down for COVID. So I got a used one. It was leaking grease all over. I did not know these mixers needed maintenance. So glad I found you. I watched your videos and you convinced me I could do it. So I ordered some grease from you and I can now say I did it. Husband had to help get the pin out. I was afraid I would hurt it. But, It's greased and I'm so glad.

You have found your Calling Mr. Mixer! Thank You for your Excellent Presentation! I’m now looking forward to receiving my Kevlar gear from your company! I’m sending my Amazon gears back to them, wish I had tuned in to your channel earlier!

Wow! Just finished regreasing her! Very easy to follow and very detailed videos. Thanks Mr. Mixer!

Dear Mr Mixer, you saved me with all your beautiful videos and smart explanations, you are simply awsome. God bless you. Hello from France

Thank you again Mr Mixer, my Kitchenaid was making a grinding noise, so I have opened it up, cleaned it out and found a worn worm gear!! Ordered a new one to fit before I put it all back together! Excellent video, although my 20 year old mixer has a different wiring so the top of the mixer was still attached by 2 wires to the base , which made it a bit tricky to clean, but I managed! Thanks again, from the old country .

I wanted to say thank you for your go to for the K5SS repair, I did it myself and now it no longer equals and shakes! You saved my mixer!

Thank you for the great step by step instructions! The worm gear on mine wasn’t the problem… the worm gear pin had fallen out and bent. Had to replace the whole worm gear housing. My mixer now works! Thank you!

Thank you! This helped me fix a 25 year old stand mixer.

Dude! Thank you so much for this comprehensive video. This is by far one of the best tutorials I have seen on RU-vid to date! I was able to fix our mixer after 2 years of it sitting idle. Thanks so much again for such an awesome video and such a great website for accessing legit parts.

Just used your videos to replace the worm gear and re-grease my mixer. Thanks for the detailed and easy to understand instructions!

Thank you so much for this incredible walkthrough! Was able to get a perfectly good mixer up and running again thanks to your step by step series!

you are awesome! thank you so much!!!! cheers from brazil 🇧🇷

I will be buying your grease and gasket this next week, thank you for helping me with the process

Excellent series - thanks.

This is one of the absolute best instructional videos I've seen on RU-vid and I've watched a LOT! I did regrease my mixer about 10 years ago and it's definitely time. After watching this video i know I'll do a better job too! Excellent info and instructions. I'm definitely going to order the regrease kit from you!

Thank you so much! Very informative detailed video.

Thank you for these step by step videos. I figured the worst that would happen is loading all the parts into a box and taking my mixer to a repair shop. I just finished regreasing my classic 4.5 KitchenAid and it works!!!! It doesn't tilt but I was able to figure out the additional screws that needed to be removed in order to get to the gears after following your directions to that point. There aren't any videos for that model on RU-vid. Happy Holidays to you!

Great job I watched all 3 re-grease videos. It’s nice to see someone that does a thorough job Thanks

Got through part 2 and onto part 3 tomorrow! Fellow re-greasers beware: I gave myself a nasty cut running a paper towel around the drip ring to clean it out. It’s like the worst paper cut ever…lots of sharp parts on these things! Be careful, just like Mr. Mixer said :)

awesome video - thank you Mr. Mixer!! Easy, step by step through the 3 video series to get my kitchen aid back up and running. Best video out there on regreasing kitchen aid.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! In addition to grease and gasket, I bought a worm gear to install since my Classic was purchased in 1994, I would ready. To my surprise, I found a metal gear with no wear! It's a keeper! I never had thoughts of changing the grease, but recently I used a hub attachment for the first time ever and started making bread, and my machine was struggling a little. One of the reasons could be that I was not paying attention to speed with the dough hook(speed 2 only!) or the meat grinder attachment. Ergo...another plus for reading directions!

This video is fantastic! Easy step by step instructions. I wanted to say THANK YOU. I'm currently living in Egypt and can't find someone to fix my mixer.

Thanks for this amazing tutorial, it helped me a lot to re-grease a mixer that was given to me because it was leaking and making cracking noises. After getting the parts I needed from your store I was able to put it back together and now is working like new!!!

These 3 videos were excellent and very helpful in my DIY to disassemble, de-grease, re-grease and reassemble my wife's KitchenAid. I looked at two other videos and Mr. Mixer's was the best by far.

I just finished replacing the worm gear, re-greasing, and tuning the speed control (yes, on Christmas Day, I have my priorities straight.) Thanks for your videos, I watched them through before attempting the repairs, and queued them up to watch again during the repair. The reassembly was not exactly smooth because one of the fiber washers slipped out of position as I was putting everything back together, but I managed to go backwards step by step until I found the problem. RECOMMENDATION: wear disposable gloves, and have a back up pair or two. If you are smearing grease on gears and find that you need to pick up a screwdriver or move something, you can pull the gloves off and have instant clean hands.

Mr Mixer. Thank you for a clear and concise series of videos. I have just replaced the nylon worm gear and regreased. No waffle. No BS. Excellent delivery, too.

Thank you so much for this video series! All our questions were answered, and our mixer is running great again!

Thanks for empowering me to do this. Had to replace lock handle and speed handle and re-greased as well. I was able to follow along perfectly to this 3 part series. I bought all the stuff off your site. It’s been great.

Thanks Mr. Mixer. Very informative and helpful video. Maybe I can do it. 🦋🦋

Thank you so much for helping me fix my mixer! Your instructions were easy to follow & you kept it lighthearted too. I bought my mixer 2 years ago but not able to use it until now & when it wouldn’t turn I was perplexed since It was brand “new” but no longer under warranty. I thought the gears were possibly stuck from lack of use so thought I’d try fixing it myself before spending more $$ to replace it. For never being used it sure had a lot of gross grease piled in it. I didn’t realize until this last step that I needed food grade grease (thanks to Amazon I got some the next day). Following your step by step instructions and with the right tools it now works like a charm. Thanks again!

Thank you for your time and effort in this very informative series. I spotted a sad K45SS sitting in a pile of large items during large item trash pickup in my neighborhood! It still works just sounds like metal on metal. Gonna re grease and hope for the best. Now that I know what to look for as far as replacing parts and even where to get them, I'm now more confident than ever to be able to gift it to my wife! She's been wanting one for a long time now! Thank you! I'll keep you posted on the project!

Mr. Mixer, I just want to say thank you for these in-depth videos!! BY FAR the best on the topic!!

Thanks for clear instructions on how to repair leaking oil. My initial fear was mixer was broke beyond repair. I felt like small town fixit shop. Your instructions removed any fear on tackling this repair. The cleaning was long part only because I cleaned every bit of old grease. After greasing and reassembly the mixer works like new.

Great video! Never re-greased our mixer before, it was starting to give off an odour while it was running so I figured it was time... I found a few wishy washy videos of other people doing it and then I found yours and thought 'Hey, this guy looks like he actually knows what he's talking about'! They were entertaining to watch and walked through the entire process and gave some helpful advice along the way. I found a broken tooth on the worm gear so I replaced that while I had it all apart. All in all it went pretty smooth, I should have made a video of me re-greasing it while watching your video. LOL

Thank you so much for sharing these videos and for the very thoroughly explained steps and instructions. I was able to regrease my mixer, which has been leaking for years, thanks to you!

I just finished re-greasing my Classic. I followed along with the video and it was so easy! Thanks for the videos.

I made it! The slow clap is appreciated 😂 I’m going tomorrow to try and find some food grade grease because I pulled my whole machine apart without realizing I shouldn’t just use my general purpose grease... oops. Thanks so much for making these videos!! Truly the only actually helpful info online I could find!

I just re-greased my kitchenaid and it sounds great! Thank you so much for this post!

Dude thank you! Replaced a gear after trying to grind up meat with bones. And it works perfectly again

Thanks for the whole series on the 4.5 quart. Super helpful.

you are a great person. i fixed mine after watching your videos step by step. thank you

Great! All the information I needed to strip down, replace gears and re grease. Thanks very much.

I watched all three of your EXCELLENT videos in this series. You have a new customer. I'll be placing my order for parts and a regrease kit immediately! Thanks and kudos for a job well done!

Thank you so much for this video!! I used it to regrease my machine I found it so helpful! Loved how you showed what screws and explained everything so it was very understandable!! Thank you again!

Great series of videos, very detailed. I'm going to do this regrease to my KA Artisan mixer from about year 2000. Never been done before!

Your videos are amazing. Really detailed and the corny humour sprinkled in is perfect. I would just comment that you could add something in your video comments regarding the extra washer that older models have. This extra third washer is part of the replacement set you sell. I noticed mine by chance as it was well stuck to the mixer. I thought I'd noted it's location but had horrible grinding when it all went back together. A quick email to you clarified its proper location. The mixer is like new and heading to my nephew as I've moved to a heavier duty bowl lift model. Will tackle regreasing that one next (it is a few years old). Your spare parts were shipped quickly and I was really happy with the whole experience. Thanks again.

Mr. Mixer - thanks so much, we had an oil leak on ours so nasty I thought the EPA was going to fine us!! Hahaha, but a tub of food grade grease and a little bit of work and we are back up and running! Thanks again!!!!

Excellent series, well explained, audio, lighting and camera work exceptional. A+. Thanks from Colorado.
