Over the years I have noticed that when I use this mixer the beaters no longer reach the bottom of my bowl. I usually have to manually lift the bowl from below so all of the contents are mixed. Is there a way to adjust the height of the mechanism that raises the bowl?
Thank you,
Megan
There is an adjuster on the model I own - the KSM50... It is a tiny little silver screw at the base of the motor between the screws that mount the bowl mover to the stand. Screwing to the left makes the bowl lower and turning to the right makes the bowl higher. I just adjusted mine. Note - just a slight turn can make a difference, but my screw was SO TIGHT- I had to ask my husband to do it. Plus, it is located in a difficult area for some screwdrivers to fit into. He got mine to budge and now my clearance of beater to bowl ratio is perfect.
:) Hope it works for ya,
There is no adjustment for the lift hieght of the bowl, but I found that putting a washer on the pins to either side will lift the bowl just enough so that the beater is closed to the bottom. You do not want it to hit since that will rub the metal and wear out your parts faster.

My bowl doesn't meet up with my mixing attachments, especially the whisker for making meringue or beating butter with sugar. You need it to reach the bottom! So I have to manually take it out and do it by hand, in another bowl. I've tried lifting up the bowl to meet the mixer but it makes a horrible noise and still doesn't quite work. Can you move the whole thing somehow to go together better?
