Good Repair For Squeaky Juicers, Bread Makers, and Mixers
If you have squeaking or rattling kitchen appliance you know how annoying this can be. With cheaper devices this is usually the time to retire them and replace with something newer, but in some cases the appliances still feel quite solid and were expensive. Juicers, food processors, and bread makers are all common culprits for making loud squeaks and extra noise after a few years. The manufacturer usually lubricates gears, pulleys, axles and bushes with either silicone or teflon based materials. You can get them from electrical repair shops or try hobby shops. The thing about these lubes is that they are very clean and don’t leave ugly stains, thats why hobby makers like to use them. To lubricate the noisy parts you will have to open the appliance case. Most electrical appliances use phillips head screws, although some use security screws you will need special bits for. Once inside and when you an see the motor, pulleys, and gears, just give the machine a turn by hand. All you need to do is apply a few drops of the lubricant between the contact points (eg where an axle runs through a bush or bearing) and run a thin bead around gear wheels.
