My 2019-ish 5qt tilt-head model squeals badly with no load, the squeal goes away once it's kneading a big dough ball. I took it apart until I was left with the top motor unit that has a worm gear coming out. Gears and grease looked fine, the motor is still making the noise with none of that attached. Trying to decide if I should
a) keep going with disassembly
b) take it to kitchenaid's recommended place in Redmond and pay whatever they ask for
c) cut my losses and buy a used older machine
Thanks for any insight
and re: bitwarden, I've used it for 3 years happily, it very rarely does weird stuff on me. I use the iphone app and the plugin for firefox
