KITCHENAID MIXER STOPPED WORKING [FIXED] - Thermal Fuse Broken 

See video description to get the link to buy the THERMAL FUSE to fix this problem. You will need a soldering iron to fix it, if you don't have a soldering iron yet PLEASE consider using my link to buy from Amazon (helps with my channel): ✅ amzn.to/2IEzGvx Thank You very much! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Same issue with my mixer. FWIW, they put the thermal fuse there next to the motor winding so that it can be in contact and trip if the temp gets too high. Remember, it's not an electrical amperage fuse, it's a thermal fuse, so putting it on the PC board would not protect the motor from exceeding the thermal tolerances of the design.

your note about having to buy the full motor assembly for the fuse saved me a big headache, thanks!

Thanks for this video, it was helpful for me to fix my mixer as well

Exactly my problem, thank you

thank you! I got mine brand new and have only used it maybe 10 times before it just stopped turning on. ALSO: MOTION SICKNESS WARNING on the video😆

Hey, thanks a lot for this advice. Mine works now the fuse is taken out. Do you have any details on a replacement to order? I could only find one for a kitchenaid mixer jug. Do you think that would be ok? Thanks a million. Very satisfying repair!

As said, thermal overload due to excessive heat. This happens for a reason. At near 10 years old, the gearbox grease my have lost its effectiveness. Time to clean the gear box and replace the grease. This should reduce friction and hence load on the motor. When any fuse fails, it's a warning that something is wrong. Without finding out the cause and avoiding it from happening again, another fuse will fail. At least these machines are repairable. Many now made are not.

thanks for the video . same issue

Yes a bad design. Mine worked to make a loaf of bread and then popped a puff of smoke on the second use. So maybe a total of 15 minutes running for $300. Not very well engineered. Mine is a Professional 550 HD. I hope I can find the fuse. Thank you for your video. I will need a better soldering iron that I have so I will get it from your Amazon page.

My thermal fuse is not broken, but my motor is already burnt! I wish I have your problem.

Thank you.

It is noisy because all those gears need to be re-greased... All the old grease has to be removed first then after everything is clean new grease can be added.

Thak you very much for this video...same thing happened to me.

That's a safety feature built into the board...you have to turn it off before it will run after losing power.

The fuse is for protection if there is a motor power overload or excessive heat. Also planned obsolescence.

Please post the fuse and where to get it ?also what kind of grease do I use on it??thank you

It is for thermal protection and thats why need to be attached to the motor to protect it from overheating,do not bypass it or your motor will burn.

Sometimes mine won't turn on. I unplug it and plug it in again, then it kinda works. Not as powerful as it was, and really noisy. I'm not an electrician, by any means, but I'm not afraid to try to fix it on my own. Do you think it could it be a short somewhere? I am going to jump the fuse for now and grease the gears. Thank you for your video and explanations.

So you wed to strap that where it was as it’s a thermal fuse.

What is the temperature on the thermal fuse?

is it safe to use the Kitchenaid Stand mixer without the band trim ring on it?

The best way to prevent it from overheating in the first place is to use it well within its operational limits. Have a 5 quart unit and I won't put anything more than 3 quarts. Plus, I frequently feel for overheating on the motor casing during operation.

My KitchenAid mixer professional plus 600 hd is not strong enough and shuts off. Any solutions? I guess I used about 3 times

You never showed how exactly do you temporarily recap the wire.

Hi are you on USA voltage

How did you know that the fuse was bad?

Mine looks the same but no fuse inside?

I have Kitchen aid mixer that belonged to my grandmother that won't turn on (it actually got in a bind and stopped) any idea what happened?

Why not use a circuit breaker that would reset itself after it cools?

2 years later. Any tutorial on how to put in the new fuse? Not everyone has experience with a smoldering iron or welding. Can’t we use a heat gun to shrink wrap instead?

Grease!!!!!

Couldn't even see what process you went through to get it working

You are showing repairing this with it all open with it plugged in?!? That doesn’t seem like a really good idea.

Inline thermal fuses like the one you found are not "bad design". They are triggered leveraging thermal characteristics and so then it becomes a matter of PROPER DESIGN to have them inserted into a break in the wire and kept close to the device they are actually protecting. Having such a fuse on a circuit board would actually be considered a bad design for several reasons, one being that it would add heat to the circuit board that could then create other problems for the whole circuit and also it would not be in close proximity to the motor, which would mean that you have to ignore the requirements for implementing this type of fuse as it was designed to be used. So NO ... kitchen aide didn't make an amateur design choice when they put the fuse where you found it. They actually did it exactly as it was engineered to be done and the entire circuit is precisely and accurately following proper engineering standards. Making the fuse easy to replace for a home tech is never a design requirement for a quality product and it never should be. Proper engineering to result in a highly durable and capable machine is always the number one goal for a company like Kitchen Aid. And they consistently deliver that goal to their customers as their reputation speaks to so loudly even in these years where competition in this space is fierce.

It’s a mixer not a blender.
