KitchenAid® Mixer Refurb Day
Friday, August 8, 2025
with Brett Stern
Kitchen Aid® stand mixers were built to last. But after many years of making Grandma’s sugar cookies, this machine, like any other, needs some basic maintenance. To support that, we’re offering a KitchenAid® mixer maintenance day! Bring your Kitchen Aid® stand mixer to Kitchen Culture during shop hours on August 6 or 7 to receive full maintenance service on August 8.
The service will include opening up the unit to inspect, clean and re-grease the gears with food-safe grease; inspecting and adjusting the head locking mechanism; checking and adjusting the blade height and pivot point mechanism; checking the electrical cord; inspecting, cleaning and adjusting the speed switch; thoroughly cleaning the exterior of the machine and polishing the surface to make it look almost new.
Please review the details below to learn if this service is a good fit for your mixer.
The maintenance service detailed above costs $99. If replacement parts are needed, they may involve an additional fee. ($15 for speed or head locking lever, $15 for new rubber feet, $20 worm drive gear, etc.)
Kitchen Aid® stand mixers that are eligible for this maintenance event are Tilt Head models: Classic, Classic Plus, Ultra Plus, Artisan and Lift Bowl model: Heavy Duty. Other models may not be eligible. See below.
Your stand mixer must be able to turn on.
You will need to bring the bowl, wire whisk and flat blade attachments along with the machine.
