I know this sounds bizarre, but I have the same GE mixer that my mom

see why they don't make appliances fixable anymore. (Or is it that you
can't find anyone to repair them.)
It's that most things cost more to repair than to replace. We get stuff
so cheap (from you-know-where), that the cost of labor for the person
who would repair it is higher than just importing another mixer - which
is probably far inferior to the one your mom got for her shower! So all
those little repair guys have gone out of business. It's a shame.
