our KA is 32 years old and making a noise. Will cleaning and repacking get her back to new?

If the noise is like clicking of gears together, yes, but the main gear is a worm gear, so if it is beaten up, grease will not be enough.

I recommend replacing these 2 parts along with the grease:Gear, bevel 9703337Brass Worm Follower Gear 9706529There is a great video on youtube that takes you through the replacement process step by step. My mixer has worked perfectly ever since! Just make sure you clean out all the old grease!

Ours is 10 years old. We cleaned it an repacked it and it is working like new. Someone else suggested replacing a gear and gasket. That sounds like a good plan. Just be careful when you take it apart and don't lose any parts in the old grease. Take the old stuff out carefully.

I did so with mine and it is running like new. Do not wait to long. The grease inside turns to liquid and then just flows out of the machine with no warning. Repacked it and it is quiet. There is a video on the internet on how to do the repacking.

If you never have done this before I would open it up and check for worn parts replace as needed or if not then reassemble with new grease and test. if it still makes noise the you have a bad part or parts or the electric motor is worn out.

I believe it will, there is a gear they recommend replacing when you repack it. I would add that as well, just to be sure, and a new gasket and you should be good to go!

I am not sure, we used this product because the grease had been leaking out of our stand mixer. Apparently, the mixer needs to be used regularly to avoid this issue. My husband used this grease on ours and now it works great, no leaks. We have enough to do several more mixers. I would try using this product, give it a try, my husband found the instructions on YouTube. Best of Luck!

Hi Amanda,I don't believe so...a piece may be missing or it may be loose. We are using ours now for a 16 month old and we have not heard a clicking sound before...before disassembling you may want to check the manual, it may be part of the features but that sound does not seem right

We have had this unit for 2 years and the last year it has become noisy, although we have cleaned it somewhat regularly. I think it is about to die, which might be why it only has a 1 year warranty.

ours rattled and hardly would work unless we shook it lol. she probably sent you ours. i would send it back

Yes. The frequency depends on hours of use and how much dust and dirt is in the air. Inspect it and if it is dirty replace it.

I guess it would depend on her age. I'm 65 years old, and a Grand mother, I am able to handle it with to problem. If she is 85 and on the weak side, this could be to heavy for her.

I watch it and replace it when it gets dirty before two or three months. I tried hosing one off to clean it and reuse it after it dried, but was not happy with the results. Our home was built in 1915, we have two dogs and a cat therefore, although the system is only four years old we allow for extra dirt and dust. Hope this helps.

You may need a new control panel. I had to replace it 5 times.....fifth time's the charm I hope. Having problems with KA refrig......I am off this brand.

As long as you keep them clean, yes. After 3 years they will become louder.

I would have to say that the squeal your Dyson is making is not normal. My reconditioned Animal makes nothing but the usual sound all vacuums make.

Sorry, but no. Ours are going on 15 years old now (what? how did that happen?) and are all in near new condition except for the fry pans, which have some build up, but no pitting. Maybe it is a newer formula, since yours are only a year old.

We have the Hello Kitty model. A week ago, ours started doing the same thing, making a very loud whirring fan noise. At first i was able to move it around and i got the sound back to the original "whisper quiet" sound level. Turned it on tonight and the fan is dead. Got it November 2010, so we're two months out of warranty... :(

We've had ours for just over a year and never had the shaking noise issue. I had read that in a comment before buying but it seemed to be an anomaly. Ours has been great.

Hi. Mine is also new - used for the first time yesterday. It does NOT squeak or make a zipping sound. You should check it out. Good luck.

it is a beautiful sound and works well. I do not know about the reconditioning

Unfortunately you probably need to pull it all apart again and reseat all the connections make sure there is no dust and maybe it will be ok.
