Meet the Fuse Gear:

Your Mixer’s Best Friend

Did you know your KitchenAid mixer has a built-in fail-safe mechanism called the fuse gear? This nylon gear protects your motor from burnout when the mixer is under stress. If you hear a clunking noise and your beaters stop rotating, it’s likely the fuse gear doing its job. Replacing it is much more affordable than a new motor, so treat it well! For those who rely on professional kitchen equipment like robot coupe NZ products, understanding these protective mechanisms is just as important.



Top Tips for Keeping Your Mixer in Tip-Top Shape

Mix Smart

Always keep your mixer on speed 2 or lower when mixing heavy ingredients like dough or fruit cakes.


Watch the Weight

Don’t exceed a total ingredient weight of 1.15 kg (including liquids).


Timing is Everything

Limit run-time to 5-6 minutes for heavy mixtures, allowing a 20-minute rest period. For normal ingredients, stick to 8 minutes with the same resting time.


Secure the Attachment

Always tighten the thumb screw (the black screw near the attachment hub) after use. This prevents the attachment from falling out during mixing.
