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?

I just hold the top lightly until it stops moving to the point it could 'walk' or tip over. This was the only drawback I could find when I researched blenders. Supposedly they are not supposed to tip over, even though it sure seems like it could; but I haven't had that much faith in it that I would walk away from it.

The bowl cannot be tilted when the mixer is running. Also scraping the sides with the mixer running could very well cause injuries.

I threw the bowl away and bought a brand new mixer. It was frustrating that after paying so much money to get a replacement bowl, it would not fit the mixer stand.

I had the same problem....theyre 2 different kinds of ends. So they have to be placed in the correct hole or they continue to fall out....not a very good diagram on the bottom of the mixer itself, but it is there....hope this helps

The bowl doesn't turn at all...the bowl fits into the mixer only one way. It has a slit in the bottom and connects with mixer so it does not move. The bottom on small suction cups so the mixer doesn't move when running (but I still never leave it alone when running)...Hope this helps!

My wife has only used her's one time so far. But it seemed to mix up everything very well. Just saw a mixer attatchment that has like rubber spoon edges on the mixer. That might even be better. Good luck!

It must be defective. We didn't have any problem attaching it to our mixer. You should exchange it.

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

The handle on the bowl brakes to the left, JUST AS ILLUSTRATED. To tell you the truth, I can't see how it makes a difference as long as it fits the mixer, unless you have lost the use of one hand. In that case I'm sorry. I happen to be right-handed and have no problem mounting the bowl to my mixer in spite of the left leaning handle. Instead of worrying which way the handle leans, worry whether it fits you mixer.

I have the same problem. The slow speed it way too fast for a cake mix, and normally a "middle" speed is what you use for that. This one can NEVER blend dry ingredients and is way too fast for wet ingredients. When it starts on low speed, the liquids are thrown to the edge of the bowl and whirl around like a tornado! The ingredients hardly touch the beaters because the ingredients are moving way too fast at the outer edges of the bowl.

Hi,My bowls did not break, but if you are serious about making ice cream, go with a different ice cream maker. The ice cream sticks to the bowls too much, and the cover doesn't stay on the maker.

Hi, I am sorry I don't have an answer for you. I also bought the 5 qt glass bowl and mine doesn't lock in either. I use for other purposes now. I don't recommend this product at all. I really like my KitchenAid mixer and use it just about every day. I wanted the glass bowl for my meringue and I couldn't get a refund either. I am sorry I couldn't help you.

Are you sure that the rotating part has not slipped slightly when you placed the food on the tray? Sometimes we have the problem and find that the tray slipped a hair and then from the weight of the food, it slipped enough to stop completely or rubs on the side of the appliance. Was cooking a chicken in a bag (in half-time) and the bag got so heavy with juice that it hit the side of the appliance and stopped completely. My wife loves the half-time. Does not use the regular oven at all anymore.

It is a bit tricky to get the bowl in place but it needs to clip/slide into the two mounting holes in the opening. If you look you will see them. Once you get the bowl position so that the clips can slide in it will work. It did for me.

I also have had only stainless steel bowls for my KitchenAid mixer. However, both of the bowls screw into the base of the mixer and if screwed in properly, remain locked in regardless of what I am mixing. I did, however, have to replace the metal plate on the base of the mixer recently because the threads had worn down and the bowls kept unscrewing. A new metal plate cost only about $8 or $9 and took about a minute to replace using a screwdriver. So, I would first check that your bowl is properly screwed down, and then check the condition of the threads on the base plate.

I had this problem too. Went to Chefs; they tightened the gray ring and showed me how to tighten it more by holding the bowl down and turning it. Also when you unlock it, don't push on it hard.
