Thought my stand mixer was dying. Nope, just a $8 part.

Took me three weeks to figure out why my KitchenAid kept locking up. I was ready to drop $400 on a new one. Went through every forum post out there. Turned out it was just the grease in the planetary gear assembly. One tube of food-safe grease and two hours later, runs like new. Has anyone else had a simple fix take way longer than it should have?

Used to think I was saving money by waiting. Now I check the simple stuff first.

You mean like the time I thought my truck had a busted transmission and it was just a loose battery cable? Yeah, been there. Embarrassing how long it took me to check the obvious stuff.
