Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your HOWORK Electric Stand Mixer, please refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mixer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet not working; mixer head not locked down. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the mixer head is fully lowered and locked into place. |
| Attachment not mixing ingredients thoroughly. | Attachment not properly installed; incorrect attachment for the task; too much or too little ingredient. | Ensure the attachment is securely clicked onto the shaft.
