I have not named myKitchenAid stand mixer, which is weird when you consider the length of our relationship.
It turns out, this is the number one problem with KitchenAid stand mixers.
Mixer, known in real life as Zach Dinicola.
(And thedirections to do it yourselfare free.)
You made this way too easy.
Granted, Zach does more than simple adjustments.
Often, it’s possible for you to watch it all go down on TikTok.
We email, with pictures, and we answer the phone.
Your machine cant get any more broke.
If you get in over your head, well talk you through it or you might ship it in.
How many people try it on their own and end up sending the machine in to you anyways?
Mr. Mixer takes in a thousand KitchenAids a yearits all they doso that seemed pretty promising.
My editor and I are both convinced that older KitchenAids are just better.
Would you buy a new model or make a run at find an old one?
You want a solid state mixer.
The older they are from 2020 back, the better.
Even a mixer from 2014-2015 has less plastic parts than they do now.
Even before 1978, those pre-solid state models, they lasted a long time.
One:Re-greaseand inspect the machine.
Two: Check that head calibration with the Everdime.
Once it does that, you get a lot of head play.
The attachments are probably coming into contact with the bottom of the bowl, which damages them, too.
you’re able to avoid a lot of extra strain on your machine by simply adjusting the screw.
There are other screws too that are affected.
Three: We recommendtuning upthe machine.
Do you recommend tilt-heads or bowl raising KitchenAids?
Depends on what youre going to use it for.
Tilt-heads can handle dough in smaller batches, but you dont want to overload them.
If youre making heavier stuff, you want a bowl raise machine.
The tilt-heads, for what its worth, are all the same underneath, despite the different models.
The K5SS, which they stopped manufacturing in 2010.
The 80s were a great time for those machines; really quality parts on there.
What happens to dead KitchenAids?
Why dont more people repair appliances?
Get to mixin!
If you want the newest tilt-head:KitchenAid 5-Qt.

If youd rather lift:KitchenAid 6-Qt.
