Expert Review
If your trusty Buffalo GL190 mixer keeps cutting out halfway through a heavy dough mix, don't panic! It's usually this little overload switch doing its job to protect the motor. It’s a common wear-and-tear item and, thankfully, a very quick and simple part to swap out, getting you back to mixing in minutes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the mixer from the mains before starting.
- Ensure wiring is reconnected securely to the new switch.
- Avoid consistently overloading the mixer to prolong part life.
- Regularly check that the push-to-reset button moves freely.

Did You Know?
- An overload switch tripping is a safety feature at work, not necessarily a machine fault.
- Consistently tripping the switch can be a sign that your batches are too large or dense for the mixer's capacity.
- Replacing a worn overload switch is a small cost that can prevent a much more expensive motor replacement down the line.
