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 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 have no idea what you are asking... Do you have this bowl in your cart and want to remove it? If so go to your Amazon cart and click "remove". Otherwise the bowl itself is its own bowl. So if you don't want to use it, you have to pick it up and put down another bowl. Sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for but your question was pretty vague.

Sage's answer is exactly right...make sure the bowl is clean and dry so the butter will form suction with inside of bowl.I too have been using a "butterbell" for years and I particuraly like the Norpro. Enjoy!

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.

mine doesn't. It doesn't mix very well either. you really need to attachments other wise you chase eggs around the bowl.

My suggestion would be to make sure the ring that screws on & off on the bottom of the bowl is put on properly, maybe that's causing some sort of issue with attaching it to your mixer. I've never had a problem with attaching mine to the mixer, however it doesn't lock as tight as the metal bowl, however, once it's locked into the mixer I have no problem with it. I think if you were making bread or something that requires the highest speed you'd need to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't come unlocked though. I love mine, good luck hope you get the issue resolved and my suggestions help.

I've not had to fuss with mine much at all. A couple tips? 1) the top goes 'on' in almost the lock position-the reach of my thumb is enough to ease it into the locked position. 2) this has a rubber-gasketed seal on the top, so if it gets too clean it will be hard to move into lock. A quick dab of flour or water or veg. oil and it moves very smoothly. 2 things I do like are that the blades click into place on the bowl so you don't have to contend with them falling out when you empty the bowl, and I think because of that and the gasket seal, you can process more liquids without making a mess..

No..hmmm...I just twist and it's off. Don't drop it like I did cause if you break the plastic piece that locks it in to start it, you'll be ordering a new bowl like I had to..ugh

I have tried duct tape, gorilla tape, mounting tape, etc. My cats are too strong, I guess, and always managed to get the bowl out. Now I use a thin, oval headband (think giant rubberband) that goes all the way around the bowl and the feeder. I've used gorilla tape to keep it in place. Two weeks and so far the bowl has stayed attached, which is a record.

Are you using a mix master or kitchen Aid stand or bowl lift mixer? My ravioli attachment fits perfectly into my kitchen aid.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily. Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

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

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.

The seat assembly slides off the bowl if you want to clean the bowl or you can just raise the seat and clean the bowl. this seat is amazing. I looked at many and decided on this one, good price and it does the job. Hope this helps if not let me know.
