Ireceived my KitchenAid Artisan 5-quart stand mixer in metallic chrome at my bridal shower in March 2020, three days before the world changed forever. Since then, my stand mixer has been in use a lot.
Just a little over two years later, it started making a loud, intermittent screeching noise. Sometimes, the noise would start immediately upon turning on the mixer. Other times, it would take a few minutes to warm up. Then, it would screech until I stopped using it, making any baking experience a less than calming one.
My husband and I looked up numerous videos to figure out the problem. None of the videos were making the same sound that mine was. Most of those sounds were just gears grinding, not a KitchenAid stand mixer making a loud screeching noise randomly. (Listen to it on my YouTube video!)
As of June 2022, the shipping option cost $42 plus a $25 diagnostic fee. KitchenAid would send me a box to ship my stand mixer in, along with the necessary packing materials to keep it safe. They estimated that it would take about 3-4 weeks to get to my machine.
Once their technicians diagnosed the issue, I could choose to have the stand mixer shipped back to me unrepaired, or I could have it repaired at the factory. If I had the stand mixer repaired at the KitchenAid factory, that diagnostic fee would be applied towards labor. A KitchenAid representative would call me in advance to tell me the cost of the repair (sans the $25 credit), and I could either approve or deny it.
On May 10, I received an email from KitchenAid notifying me that they had received my mixer. That gave me great peace of mind! There was no estimated wait time, but I was reminded that it would be worked on in the order it was received.
On June 1, KitchenAid called me and let me know that a technician had opened up my stand mixer. They reported that it would need to have the armature, bearing bracket, brushes, and gasket replaced for a total of $98. The armature piece alone cost around $45 online, so I felt that that was a reasonable price for the total repair. I gave the go ahead to start work on my stand mixer.
The very next day, June 2, KitchenAid emailed me a tracking number for my stand mixer! KitchenAid shipped out my mixer only one day after I had confirmed the fix. That felt like lightning speed after waiting so long for them to work on it!
I tested the stand mixer immediately upon arrival. It no longer made the awful screeching noise I had become accustomed to! I was curious to see if I could identify that the mixer was mine (not a replacement). After a quick check, I confirmed that the stand mixer body, bowl, and beater attachment were all my original items and had not been replaced.
I also noticed that there is a bit of minor cosmetic damage to the body of my stand mixer. (And of course, I missed it before filming my video review. Normally, I have an eagle eye when it comes to finding imperfections, but somehow I missed these ones.)
My factory KitchenAid stand mixer repair experience was decent. There were no unexpected delays, and the whole process took about six weeks. I thought that the quoted wait time was accurate, and KitchenAid kept me in the loop the whole time. The total cost of the repair was $170, which was entirely reasonable.

Looks like the LCD display on my M20d has died. What are the options for getting this repaired. Does Line 6 still work on the M20d mixer. Can anyone suggest a repair shop near South San Francisco, CA?
Also, since the LCD is not working, I cannot access the Info page>WiFi settings on the mixer, to get the security pin. When I try to access the security pin on my one currently connected Ipad, it says it's only accessible from the mixer. Does anyone know a work around for getting the current security pin, when LCD is out? Is there a default pin, after reset?
I am curious to know if there is a way to reset the pin as well. I have a similar situation, but had a second mixer as a backup. Just haven't gotten back to fixing this one yet. If there is a way to reset, that would be great. Don't feel like trying 9999 possible pins before I hit the right one.
Regarding the LCD fix, basically they don't have parts for this mixer. Sad...really. I've owned this mixer since 2012, and there is still nothing that touches it from a product idea standpoint. Unfortunately, the implementation just needed a few more years of development, and that didn't happen.
Fortunately, I did find a "Sold for parts" M20D, and was able to get my mixer LCD, up and working again. I am good until the next breakdown. I'll probably buy up a third M20D for additional parts, if I find a good deal on one.
I have since moved on to another product and no longer use the M20D. I have gone through 4 of them with only one of them still working 100%, but just could no longer take the chance of it eventually breaking down. If I were proficient at soldering, I'd tinker and try to get them back up to speed, but I'm not. So... I have a couple "for parts" M20D's if anyone is interested. :)
