Not really, because it was over 19 years old, so it really didn't owe me anything!
I disassembled it, after watching some YouTube videos, that explained some of the possible problems with a "burnout". I bypassed the circuit board, and directly hooked the motor up, and plugged it in, and no motion. The top brush is plenty large, so it wasn't those. Strange thing is that I would always set my hand on the motor frequently, to monitor the heat, and it wasn't that bad this time - I've had it worse.
I'll have to think about whether I want to repair this, or replace it, with something better. Something with a safety thermal shut-off, for sure!
Funny thing - I gave my old 4 1/2 qt KA, tilt mixer, to a friend and his newlywed, so that I could get a larger one, in late 1999. That one is still running, and I got that in 1976! I called him up (in FL now), and after the formalities I asked him if the mixer was still working. After a pause, he goes "Noooooooo!" And busted out laughing. He knew that I was going to tell him that mine bit the dust!
