My Kitchenaid Mixer Is Dead

I was mixing bread the other day and the bowl popped off in the back. The beater got stuck and stopped. NOw it isn't working right. And of course the warranty had expired. No one in my area fixes them, and the company will take at least 3 wks to get it back to me. Plus, we are of course broke (as usual) and we can't afford to send it into the company and get it fixed. What do I do now??? Can I mix bread by hand? I don't think my little hand mixer will be strong enough to make bread. And the recipe I use requires 15 minutes of beating in the stand mixer! How the heck can i do that w/out my stand mixer?

Sorry, just had to vent. I am just in tears here cuz I don't know what to do.

I just wanted to say I'm so sorry :( I know how much we come to depend on our kitchen equipment.

While you're waiting to be able to get your machine fixed, maybe consider using a different recipe or a mix for bread? I use GFP, and I think it could be successfully mixed up with a hand mixer--it only gets mixed for 2 minutes.

:angry: Oh, my! I'm so sorry!! Can you call and get a loaner?! :D I've never heard of a KA doing that! My bread recipe only requires 3 minutes of mixing.

I feel your pain. I love my KA. Do you know any old gents that love to tinker? Sometimes they are the best at fixing what seems like an unfixable problem.

There's no sense in mixing that long for gluten-free stuff. There is no gluten to develop by kneading. You don't even need much power, since the batters are pretty wet, compared to gluten bread dough. The main problem with hand mixers or stand mixers like my Sunbeam Heritage Mixmaster, is they simply don't have a paddle. With the two regular beaters, the batter gets stuck on the beaters and goes up to where the beaters attach to the mixer. With the paddle attachment (which only Kichenaid has) that doesn't happen.

I loved my Sunbeam, but I love my Kitchenaid Artisan even more.

best regards, lm

ITA Larry! I had a Sunbeam Mixmaster and couldn't believe the difference when I got a KA. It really improved my breads!

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly. A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly. It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease. B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Hi Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. No...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly.  A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly.  It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease.  B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted in urine.  Tingling in feet and hands is symptomatic of deficiencies in B vitamins like thiamine, Pyridoxine, and niacin. September 19 2025, "Your daughter needs to be checked for Vitamin B12 deficiency as soon as possible!   The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia can precipitate a B12 deficiency resulting in severe depression.  Please have her checked immediately! The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia (both gas and injected anesthesia) bind irrevocably with the Cobalt in Cobalamine Vitamin B12.  This precipitates a B12 deficiency in people with a low B12 level.  This can happen immediately, within days or weeks or months depending on B12 stores.    I've had medical procedures that required anesthesia and been struck down by deep dark depression and uncontrollable crying immediately, and also within weeks of the exposure.  My doctor put me on antidepressants which only made things worse.  Antidepressants don't correct a vitamin deficiency.   Please have her checked for B12 deficiency as soon as possible!"

      Hi  Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. Not sure if it was Ferritin levels they did. History of haemochromatosis in family , my husband has it and other daughter is a carrier. She still has a few more blood tests to be taken including Vit D levels. Has had deficiency in that last year and had 6 month course as had back pain and tingling in feet and hands. Anyway thank you everyone for all your previous replies and help!!!!

      Ijmartes71 I  son't think you are crazy by any psycoligical s=defination but you are obsessive. you may have considerable brain fog  , a problem that affects celiacs and many other people. . With this obsession you have abd being braun dogged you arw not abke to take any advice people are giving you to help you. To take advice you need to reduce your anxieties abd think more clearly. .Stop taking your herbs for at least one week because some of them will have side ellectsif you take them too long. You can add them back if you don't notice any good changes. Be more careful about being strictly gluten free.
