How do you get the bowl to stay in place? I went from a bowl-lift stand mixer to this one and the bowl flew off when I started to mix it. HELP!

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

It should have notches at the bottom of the bowl, they twist into place at the base.

There is a nob on the bowl that fits into the stand & when all else fails,read instructions.

Hello Cindy,The bowl locks into the base by giving it a quarter clockwise turn.

Sit the bowl on the platform and turn it to the left and it locks in place. You were kidding with this question weren't you?

This mixer is a standard hand held and cannot be rested on the bowl. I suggest you try to get a mixer with a base that holds the bowl in place while the mixer is running if that is important to you.

I had the same problem. It won't stay in when I have it in bench mode. I just put it with my other gardening items and pull it out when I'm turning the bench over into kneeling mode.

Problem I have with mine is the bowl falls through the holder. Otherwise it could work for you.

use both hands holding the sides of the bowl, close the lid from the bottom, while it close to the top, slightly use both of your index fingers to squeeze the bowl, and use your thumb to push the lid down. Now it closed perfectly.:) make sense?

Make sure you have all the mechanisms locked into place. The bowl must be locked in as well as the lid. If you think you have correctly addressed this problem, refer to customer service for further assistance.

The bowl "snaps into" the feeder and doesn't move if it is. It is a bit of a hassle to get the bowl to snap in but give it a shot. If done correctly both the feeder and the tray can be picked up by just lifting the feeder.

I have the same bowl and mine did fall off and chipped . My husband used Gorilla glue and it did the job. Do not lift it by the bowl after gluing .

I found that you have to have the handle to the bowl against the mixer on the right or left side. You cannot have the bowl in lock position. This was the only way it covered everything.

I have not had this problem with the KitchenAid. Just make sure that it snaps in before starting the mixer.

when you use it the disc's stick to the food and comes out each time. how do you get the disc to stay in place and not lift out. Does the basket come out so you can insert the disc

Make sure you have the disk/flange underneath the base seated correctly. Once it is seated you should be able to tighten it up and it won't move any more. From time to time we have to tighten ours up after a month or two of play. Hope this helps.

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

How many quarts is the bowl,and if you measure the bowl opening and depth they should have one that works. Is your mixer a tilt or lift style? if it is a lift style remember that the height is adjustable so the the sideswipe doesn't rub on the bottom to hard resulting in beater failure

I have the previous model but the same problem. I put a piece of packing tape on the underside of the bowl and feeder, holding the bowl against the feeder. Never had a problem since. :)

The mixer is supposed to snap onto the storage container, however mine does not want to snap on. I will fiddle with it a bit more to see if I can get it to snap on and stay on.
