I have a k5ss solid state i had for 2 years i need a flat beater and dough hook the white coating is coming off why i do not know..and i cannot afford to buy new ones...i also have a kitchenaide ksm90 and when i am mixing with the wire whip the wires come out of the prongs when i try to put them back in it comes again..what can i do? do you have any parts around i can use..thank you The white coating on my flat beater has chipped on the bottom and has begun to "bubble". I t looks as if it won't take too much before it begins to come off. What has ccaused this/ Do you stock a flat beater for the K5ss series that isn't coated? Donna in Illinois
Your beater to bowl adjustment may have come out of alignment, which can happen over time with normal use of the machine. This simply means that the flat beater may be contacting the bottom of the bowl.
In your mixer's Use and Care Guide, the beater to bowl adjustment is covered and will provide easy instructions to follow about how to adjust your beater back into proper position.
There are burnished aluminum beaters available. That is to say, they do not have the food-safe nylon coating on the outside of them. Burnished aluminum beaters may not be used in the dishwasher, require hand-washing, no soaking, and immediate towel drying. Failure to follow exact washing instruction with burnished aluminum beaters may result in tarnishing of the beaters.
Make sure your Beater can slip in and out of the Beater Shaft
easily. Do not force the beater onto the Shaft if the shaft is bent.
If it cannot be removed easily by hand, use a soft rubber mallet
(not a steel hammer) to slightly tap the beater so it can be moved
up and down the shaft or from side to side. Then you can easily
turn the beater left and remove it from the shaft.
