Ours has been janky forever. Sometime after we got it, the speed selector took a dump, and for whatever reason (purported abuse?) we decided to never look into the warranty. So today I went to mane the pizza dough from Wednesday, and I see that a stand mixer is the way to do it. Fifteen minutes with a dough hook, versus real work? Dough hook wins. Now I’ve poked at it before, but me being the kind and gentle soul that I am, I didn’t want to break the mixer any worse than it already is, so I pop it open, see nothing obvious, close it back up again.
Today, well I want speeds. Not zero to omg, but multiple speeds. To that extent, I kept taking it apart , I visually inspect parts, I analyze what it’s doing. I also washed down any debris south running alcohol. After putting out back together, I have speeds again.
I also have pictures, and a dream. So the motor:
Is driven by a motor controller (botto

Someday, this little switch is being replaced with an Arduino and a property asked controller.
