KitchenAid tune-up: grease, gasket and worm gear
The two repairs above, done together. Most mixers that come to us with grinding also need the grease and gasket done, and doing both at once costs less than booking them separately.
Does this sound familiar?
- Grinding or whining plus an oil leak underneath
- A mixer that has never been serviced and is starting to feel rough
- Any mixer heading into heavy bread baking or a busy holiday season
What the repair includes
- Full strip-down of the mixer head
- New worm gear fitted
- Old gasket replaced
- Complete clean-out and fresh food-grade grease
- Reassembly, speed check and a test run under load
Almost every mixer that arrives with a grinding noise also has grease that has broken down, because the two problems have the same cause: age and heat. Handling them in one visit means one strip-down instead of two, which is why the combo costs less than the two services priced separately.
This is the service we recommend for a mixer that has never been serviced, for anything being brought back into regular use, and for anyone heading into a heavy baking season with an older machine.
You get the mixer back cleaned out, freshly greased, fitted with a new worm gear and gasket, and test run before it leaves us.

How do I know my mixer needs the full combo?
If you hear grinding and see an oil leak, book the combo. If you are not sure, book the diagnostic and we will tell you honestly what it needs.
