How do I fix a kitchen aid mixer that possibly shorted out?

You need a "step Down Transformer" Available on ebay for about $10-$11 see this link https://www.ebay.com/itm/1600W-WATT-220-TO-110-VOLT-TRAVEL-POWER-VOLTAGE-CONVERTER-TRANSFORMER-STEP-DOWN/261271470822?epid=2280961078&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item3cd4fe42e6:g:uyYAAOSwWV9bPnrq&enc=AQADAAAB8KX%2FKt4E1xf3SDqEdBclaYb3BEV2goiLGFm8pFHXtqqWxpi8UuZ%2B1UmMICagX0mPwzYtCPZLcL0E6Vaah6ZHw722DadNzkh3SM4MH25CRSPyDz9KvizBus75NMrUzhlRLp%2B4V42jC8hHgHYIYx%2B%2F4ycoFIijohPaTQWlPWqQoiUUUNXGfcFmCpcoSSrOtf3PVZcoJ9puUxTsrWPljut5U1XkLTUpfC8GRbje9eRdiyaqM1czASyOWZZgzA57iczV5z3vANeoEC%2BNacVC7bZrYUq5aG3%2F%2FawiBxNf8TwriwXCOw4nCe1FY2tLmRo1wBhjzLcjKTSoA9NXOgfP9yx2GAHB0aImAG6lwuD1Gjsbujapr0tOx303NO4%2FGDIjh23zBM2fFEjQ2lGE4u18hjWq90SC6CeIR6MRzjQmQFq0b%2BCQhZ966xg8sO6%2FP5M15emZQZPI4Wuwx6hC%2FWdQTFVmAkRx5XK1ZrG1qEUEGpPaD1FfdbI0tdiajTnoGtyj%2BYHYMLv7LJIQy8LPkNOtVsM4s4wNyFX29hZBcd90%2BBD9nVBT5XxRvvRld9N6uirS7H1399hftHO5SQD%2F44k8oA6tIY8fkYHruTeGLpXXjdFSuaWZZIJ0ehjAYwCMW6mHoymA2EJQOmGfV1RnrN%2BpaghdG54%3D&checksum=26127147082247fa4391f0f146d69550a6c6cdd31f82

When your mixer is not starting , you could have a motor that has overheated as the mixer motor is thermally protected. An electrical problems such as a reset GFCI outlet or electrical breaker may also be causing the problem.
The manual recommends turning off the mixer and also waiting for about 10 or 15 seconds, and turning it back on. If the mixer still will not run, wait for 30 minutes before trying again. The unit does not have a reset button, so if it still doesn't operate after a 30-minute wait, you'll have to look elsewhere for the problem.

First here is the link to a good suuplier with OEM parts for 110 and 220 volt http://www.appliancezone.com/SearchProducts.aspx?ID=9707627&x=12&y=7

you can change any KA mixer from 110 to 220 and 220 to 110, you need the armature stato phase control board and speed swith for eith conversion, the 220 madel number or 220 model has a letter in front of the ka which is the indicator for 220 volt go to http://www.kitchenaid.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/OCManualsLiteratureSearchResultView?catalogId=10552&langId=-1&storeId=10202 for a exploded parts list and part numbers look any where for a KA 220 volt model and you can find the same thing

The loud pop was probably the soft start circuit board on the motor. You can buy this board at repair sites or Ebay. And yes, they make 220V versions of this mixer.

The voltage in US is 110-120 volts and the amperage is 60 amps. In your country the voltage is 250 volts which appears to be high as the general voltage in Asian countries 220 volts and the current is 50 amps You have to use a transformer/adopter which can reduce the voltage from 250 to 220 Or it is a universal adopter where this aspect is covered up. In that case you have to check the amperage. 300 watt is the power consumed and has nothing to do with low/high voltage.

You need a Step Down Voltage Converter (also called a Voltage Transformer)
which steps down 240, 230, 220 volts to 110 volts and
allows you to use 110 volts Devices from USA in 220 v / 230 v / 240 v Countries

Mixer provides the facility to convert the power to another one.
In the mixer you will provided the key to convert 220 volt to 110 volt.
Drag that key to 110V.

I can not respond to the warranty issues. My kitchen aid mixer is past warranty as well. I live in a country that uses 220V and my kitchen aid mixer is 110V. I have been using my kitchen aid mixer for almost 4 years with no problems at all.

The converter boxes are supposed to blow the fuse on the converter before it reaches your appliance and cause any problems.

If you purchase a 220V kitchen aid (although it would cost more money) it would probably have more power because of the higher voltage.

Hope this helps!

i want to buy a kitchen aid

Hi guys,

The only available Kitchen Aid stand mixers on the European markets are the Kitchen Aid Classic and the Kitchen Aid Artisan.

The best way is to contact a Kitchen Aid service center / repair facility in your area.
Here is the European website of Kitchen Aid: http://www.kitchenaid.eu/eu_EU/ka/ka_europe.htm

If you bought a different Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer (like the Professional series) you probably won't find the required parts to convert it to a European model. The only way would be to use a voltage converter.

I hope this helps.
