Sunbeam MixMaster Repair

[kirbylux52804]

I'm looking for someone that could possibly repair my vintage Model 1-7A Sunbeam MixMaster. There is something wrong with the speed control, it will gradually go from low to high on it own.

I found a guy on the web that repairs MixMasters, but he won't repair my model.

Sunbeam Help

Hi there! Have you tried to service your mixer yourself at all? If not, to me, without seeing and hearing it in person, I would bet it's either the capacitor or resistor that's going bad. -Michelle5

Try the WACEM Yahoo group

You should probably check out a Yahoo group called WACEM (We Actually Collect Electric Mixers). There are some pretty knowledgeable people there who can help you. But I agree with Michelle's preliminary assessment. It does sound like a capacitor, which is a fairly common--and easily fixable--problem with Mixmasters.
