Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your stand mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Mixer does not turn on.	Not plugged in; power outlet issue; mixer head not locked.	Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify the mixer head is fully lowered and locked into place.
Attachments do not reach the bottom of the bowl or scrape the sides.	Attachment not properly installed; bowl not properly seated.	Ensure the mixing bowl is securely locked onto the base. Re-install the attachment, ensuring it is fully inserted and locked. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Mixer is excessively loud or vibrates.	Heavy load; unstable surface; internal issue.	Ensure the mixer is on a stable, flat surface. Reduce the amount of ingredients if the load is too heavy. If noise or vibration is unusual or persistent, discontinue use and contact customer support.
