Troubleshooting Problems

Please read the following before

arranging for service.

1. The mixer may warm up during

use. Under heavy loads with

extended mixing time periods, you

may not be able to comfortably

touch the top of the unit. This is

normal.

2. The mixer may emit a pungent

odor, especially when new. This is

common with electric motors.

3. If the flat beater hits the bowl,

stop the mixer. See “Beater to Bowl

Clearance,” page 11.

If your mixer should malfunction

or fail to operate, please check

the following:

1. Is the mixer plugged in?

2. Is the fuse in the circuit to the

mixer in working order? If you have

a circuit breaker box, be sure the

circuit is closed.

3. Turn mixer off for 10-15 seconds,

then turn mixer back on.

If the problem cannot be corrected

with the above steps, see the

KitchenAid Warranty on page 3. DO

NOT return the mixer to the retailer –

they do not provide service.
