More Than Just a Gear Replacement
We repair and overhaul KitchenAid stand mixers at our Canberra workshop in Fyshwick. Most KitchenAid faults trace back to the gearbox — worn brushes, a stripped fuse gear, or old grease that has hardened and stopped protecting the gears. Swapping only the part that failed leaves the rest of that wear in place. The overhaul refurbishes the whole mechanism, so the mixer goes back to work properly rather than just running again.
It doesn't have to be broken first. An older mixer that still runs but has never been serviced can be booked in for the same overhaul as preventative maintenance — give your KitchenAid another lease on life before something fails mid-mix. This is one of the services available through our Fyshwick small appliance workshop.
Not every KitchenAid fault requires a full overhaul. If you're unsure what your mixer needs, book our $110 workshop diagnostic first.
What's Included
The Standard Overhaul
A technician properly refurbishing your mixer — not a bag of parts.
Always included
- Full strip-down of the mixer
- Full degrease of the gearbox, with all the old grease removed
- Metal gears, transmission, motor, bearings, planetary mechanism and wiring inspected for wear or damage
- New gearbox gasket
- Gearbox and planetary regreased with fresh commercial-quality food-grade grease
- Reassembly, speed test and adjustment
- Noise and mechanical check, and an electrical safety test
- Exterior wipe-down and a service report
Inspected and replaced where required
At no additional charge
- Fuse gear (sacrificial gear)
- Motor brushes — replaced if worn by more than 5mm
- Speed control plate — adjusted, and replaced if required
If any of these included wear parts need replacement, we'll replace them as part of the overhaul without contacting you for additional approval.
If we find anything outside the standard overhaul, we'll email you before carrying out any additional chargeable work. Every overhaul comes with a 6-month warranty.

Common Symptoms
Signs Your KitchenAid Needs Repair or Overhaul
You don't need to diagnose it yourself — describing what it's doing is enough to know if the standard overhaul is the right starting point.
Beater Won't Turn
Motor runs, but the beater or whisk doesn't spin.
Slips Under Load
Loses power or stalls partway through a stiff dough or thick batter.
Stripped Fuse Gear
The gearbox's protective fuse gear has sheared — a common wear point.
Noisy Gearbox
Grinding, clicking, whining or knocking from inside the head.
Grease Leaking
Old grease weeping from around the gearbox or beater shaft.
Speeds Feel Wrong
Running faster or slower than the speed dial suggests.
Only Some Speeds Work
Fine on some settings, dead or cutting in and out on others.
Never Been Serviced
Still running fine, but an older mixer that's due for a mechanical service.
Some symptoms need parts beyond the standard overhaul — we email you a price before fitting anything extra. Not sure which applies to your mixer? The $110 diagnostic will tell you.
Is My Mixer Compatible?
Available for Compatible KitchenAid Stand Mixers
The standard overhaul is built around KitchenAid's traditional mechanical design — a metal gearbox, carbon-brush motor and speed control plate — used across most classic tilt-head and bowl-lift stand mixers. It isn't available for every KitchenAid model.
Send us your model number, found on the plate underneath the mixer, and we'll confirm it's compatible before you book.

Why Overhaul the KitchenAid You've Already Got
A stand mixer is a long-term kitchen tool, and most faults come down to a handful of wear parts rather than the whole machine. An overhaul addresses those wear parts directly, at a cost and outcome you know upfront.
- You already like the mixer you've got
- Extends the useful life of a machine that's otherwise sound
- Avoids replacing a mixer over a wear-part fault
- One fixed, known cost rather than an open-ended quote
- A full mechanical service, not just the one part that failed
After the Overhaul
Warranty & Turnaround
Turnaround Time
Typical turnaround is around one week, depending on current workshop workload and whether any additional parts are needed. We don't promise a fixed completion date — we'll email you if the mixer needs work outside the standard overhaul, and when it's ready to collect.
6-Month Overhaul Warranty
The overhaul carries a 6-month warranty covering the parts we replace and the workmanship carried out as part of the job. It doesn't cover unrelated components on an older mixer that weren't part of the overhaul, misuse, accidental damage or normal wear. This warranty is in addition to, and doesn't limit, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Please don't leave your mixer outside the workshop. Anything left unattended hasn't been registered or accepted for repair — it won't be monitored or protected, and may be exposed to weather, theft or removal by passing scrap collectors. GBRS can't accept responsibility for unattended items. This is separate from our policy for appliances we've already accepted that aren't collected — see our FAQ for that.
Who's On the Bench
Local Technicians You Can Trust
You're leaving your mixer with us and walking away, so it's worth knowing who has it. GBRS has been repairing appliances for Canberra since 2015, and the workshop is our own bench in Fyshwick — nothing is sent away to a third party.
The people who work on it
Qualified, and kept current
Between our technicians we have degree-qualified engineers, electronics specialists, electricians and multiple Cert IV qualifications. A mixer overhaul is precision mechanical and electrical work on a bench, which is exactly what that background is for.
Reviews we don't get to write
Every completed GBRS job triggers a feedback request through ServiceM8, and this feed is what comes back — across every appliance type and service we provide. We don't write the reviews, pick which ones appear or take any down.
