Mixer Hums But Won’t Turn
KitchenAid stand mixer hums when switched on but the planetary doesn’t spin. Failed worm gear, stripped main gear, or worn motor brushes. We rebuild the gearbox.
Your KitchenAid mixer hums but won’t spin, the espresso machine throws an error, or the Vitamix base is leaking. BJE Appliance Repair sends a certified small appliance technician the same day — for stand mixers, blenders, espresso machines, coffee makers, and more, with brushes, gaskets, and gears on the truck.
Tell us the symptom and we’ll match it to the failed component. Every small appliance below is covered by our same-day diagnostic and flat-rate quote.
KitchenAid stand mixer hums when switched on but the planetary doesn’t spin. Failed worm gear, stripped main gear, or worn motor brushes. We rebuild the gearbox.
Vitamix or Blendtec stops mid-blend. Thermal overload protector tripped from heavy use, or worn motor brushes. We test, replace, and reset.
Pump runs but no pressure builds. Failed vibration pump, scaled brew group, or a clogged 3-way valve. Atlanta hard water makes scale common.
Drip coffee maker takes forever or brews lukewarm. Scaled heating tube, partially blocked check valve, or a failing thermostat. Descale and test.
Press the button, nothing happens. Loose safety interlock, broken bowl tab, or a failed motor switch. Quick fix on most models.
Smoke or burning plastic odor from any motor-driven appliance. Failed motor brushes, seized armature, or melted insulation. Unplug it and call us.
Breville E5, Saeco descale prompt, or De’Longhi grinder fault. Error codes map to specific sensors. Our techs decode and reset.
Water pooling under the unit. Cracked water tank, worn O-ring at the brew group, or a failed solenoid valve. Easy parts swap.
Timer counts down but elements stay cold. Burned quartz heating element, broken thermal fuse, or a failed control switch. Common Breville Smart Oven part.
Instant Pot or stovetop pressure cooker won’t hold pressure. Worn silicone gasket, dirty steam release valve, or a failed pressure sensor.

You receive a written, all-in price before any tools come out. If you choose not to proceed, you only pay the $89 diagnostic.

Four reviews from Atlanta-area homes whose small appliances we serviced in the past 60 days.
“Our 12-year-old KitchenAid Artisan mixer ground its worm gear. Tech rebuilt the entire gearbox for $185 — new mixer would have been $450. Mixer purrs like the day we got it.”
“Breville Oracle Touch espresso machine wouldn’t pull pressure. Pump replaced and brew group descaled. Espresso pulls perfect crema again, and we saved a $2,800 replacement.”
“Our Vitamix 5200 kept tripping the breaker. Brushes were shot. Tech replaced them in 30 minutes for $115. Blender runs quieter and cooler than it has in years.”
“Cuisinart food processor safety interlock was broken from a fall. Tech sourced the OEM part, replaced the lid sensor, and now the unit runs every time. Honest, affordable.”
Our trucks reach every part of metro Atlanta with no travel charges in our standard zone. In-shop drop-off available too.
