Why is my recently refurbed Kitchenaid Professional 6 mixer so loud?
텍스트:
I recently refurbished my Kitchenaid Professional 6 mixer by replacing the plastic gear box with a metal one, as well as replacing the motor and worm gear. Now it’s loud. Real loud. There’s no screeching or grinding, just an uncomfortable loudness. I’m positive it’s the interaction of the worm gear with the motor, as I removed the other gears from the gearbox and it’s just as loud as when it’s fully geared.
I also tested the gears without the gearbox on (had someone hold down the worm gear as I turned it on) and discovered the sound is much quiter when the worm gear and motor gear aren’t as closely snug as they can be. But when I put the gear case on, there’s absolutely no play, as it should probably be. I discovered as well that if the top right screw on the gearbox ( if looking from the front) is slightly loosened, the sound diminishes, though not as much as I’d like.
What can I do to make the mixer more quiet, as it doesn’t seem like it should be as loud as it is. Could the gearcase be faulty and pressing down on the gears too much?
