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 in the days prior (March 30, or April 2 or 3) to receive full maintenance service on April 4.

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 $85. If replacement parts are needed, they may involve an additional fee. ($10 for speed or head locking lever, $15 for new rubber feet, or $20 worm drive gear, for example.)

• 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.

• 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.

Did you know that twice a month our neighborhood association coordinates meal service for nearby shelters? Want to help? Prepare meals with us at Kitchen Culture! We’ll gather the ingredients and put you to work peeling and chopping or boiling and baking. Our space is limited, so please register here if you’d like to attend. It’ll be a fun afternoon to meet some neighbors and do something good for your local community.

Please understand that by registering you are committing to attend and seeing the cooking process through to the end. When people sign up but don’t show up, we run the risk of leaving people unfed.

Note: We share the cost of this effort with the Foster-Powell Neighborhood Association. If you are able, we encourage you to contribute a little bit to the cost of this project as you register. However, if cost is a barrier, please do not let it deter you from participating. When you sign up, our site will ask you for a “billing” address, but you will not be asked for payment information unless you’ve chosen to donate.
