Two days before my event last weekend, my KitchenAid mixer decided it no longer wanted to participate in my bread business 🫠
So naturally, I convinced myself I could fix it.
Started off SO confident. Ordered parts using the model number, watched the videos, grabbed my tools, took the mixer apart like a mechanic in a rom-com montage…
Only to discover:
✨ the parts were wrong
✨ the inside of a mixer is a sensory nightmare
✨ grease somehow smells WORSE than it looks
✨ there are tiny metal rings specifically designed to ruin your evening
✨ I do not own snap ring pliers because apparently I’m not actually a mechanic
Meanwhile I still have bread and roll orders to fill, my poor hands are out here doing the work of industrial equipment, and I’m one greasy paper towel away from losing it 😂
So updated agenda:
➡️ Lowe’s for tools
➡️ Amazon for hopefully the CORRECT parts
➡️ continuing my descent into appliance repair against my will
Send help. Or someone with stronger hands than me to knead dough 😅
