How to Fix Loose Kitchenaid Stand Mixer Head

[@cwdesigns101]

YES!!!! Thank you! This video saved me from thinking my mixer was a “gunner”.😅 I was just about ready to ship it to kitchenAid factory for a long long repair time. I have had this mixer about 30+ years without any repairs. But just loosening the screw- it lifted the mixer and made it study again. I never would’ve believed it if I didn’t do it myself. Thanks again! Happy baking grandma again. 😄

THANK YOU - It worked! I was so afraid I would have to pack this up and send it for service. :)

Hello & HUGE thank you. Making Christmas cookies, that set screw dropped out on the counter. When I attempt to put it back in, it looked the correct size, & yet it didn’t “seem” to be right. My problems was, I was using what I was told is an electrician screwdriver for the bolt-thingy & i was “Off-kilter”. I was miss threading the screw. I’m a very different type “girl” & it came to me I could actually take apart the mixer from the stand, take it off the stand & place it un-fettered on the counter where I could put the screw in straight. Then put the mixer back on the stand, put it back together, lay mixer on the side, back out the screw, slide the pin back into the stand & mixer then tighten the screw at the right angle. My skinny screwdriver was making me be off all around. Your excellent video showed me the way to do it myself. Thank you so much.

It's funny that I can tell how many people are using their mixers based on how many views and comments this video gets - there was a big spike right before Thanksgiving and now another one as people are making Christmas cookies! Glad you got it working!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to film and explain this fix. Your video was extremely helpful and clear and I can't thank you enough for sharing your repair process!

Thanks! My wife does a ton of baking and this had been driving her nuts. I owe a shout-out to a channel called @MrMixer316 because I originally learned about this from a repair video on his channel: kzbin.info/door/t0zNTVlmikvKyP9v2GYVyQ

[@SameBull-r4l]

Thank You for posting this. No nonsense, and it works.

[@earljgardinier]

[@BenFinio]

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving baking!

Thank you so very much for your video. I was honestly ready to throw my mixer in the bin!!! I too had no idea that the screw “shouldn’t” be tight. Thank you ❤

[@lynnmanson2387]

Thank you for the video. I finally fixed something without needing my husband’s help.🥳

[@edwardclough2067]

very helpful!

[@zombiebychoice]

Thank you i had no idea the screw on the underside existed

[@Maftuna-maston]

Thank you. When I tilted my mixer up and saw the screw tightened mid way I thought my mixer was broken😅

[@denisedolezal1083]

How do I tighten a fixed-head mixer where the bowl lifts with a lever?

[@strongestccp]

Thanks a lot 👍

[@northaveable]

I just discovered the screw on the inside is missing! What size screw do I need?

[@BenFinio]

Unfortunately I have no idea, but I'm guessing you can contact Kitchenaid support for a replacement part.

[@brooklynkat718]

Amazing thank you!

[@KarinDAngeli]

I am missing the screw to tighten up the pin. What do I order?

[@jessicasimonov8337]

Have the same issue, did you manage to find which screw should be there?

[@krissabanet2935]

mine takes an allen wrench or hexagon shaped head instead of a flathead, newer artisan mixer i got i believe in 2022. hex bit is size H2.0

[@krissabanet2935]

@@jessicasimonov8337meant to tag you in my comment, hex bit size 2.0
