If your KitchenAid mixer smells like burning rubber, fix it immediately for safety. This smell may be from overuse, thick or dry dough, or a worn belt.
As-is mixer use is risky. A belt's heat can cause smoke and fire. Slipping belts can strain motors. You may experience permanent damage to the mixer's function. Inhaling rubber fumes is also toxic.
Stop using the KitchenAid mixer and inspect for damage for safety. Fraying or loose belts need replacement immediately. Do not use the mixer until it is fixed to avoid damage or injury.
The burning belt smell from your KitchenAid mixer is a serious problem. Stop, inspect, and repair the belt to avoid fire, motor damage, and toxic fumes.
If you've got more insights to add, don't hesitate to let us know.
