I have a different issue with my KitchenAid Artisan mixer (tilt head).

I am not sure but I believe your mixer is smiler to the K-5A, if it is you have to remove the pedestal base(4 screws on underside of mixer) in the hollow upright support you should be able to see the bowl lift linkage. Adjust the nut an the bottom of the linkage to adjust bowl hight.

Adjust the head height first, flat paddle should just clear the bowl. Te head height adjustment can be seen in by the hinge looking from the front when the head is raised. Screw in (clockwise) to lower and out to raise. You cannot get the head lock right when head height is miles out

There is no lateral adjustment apart from brute force to bend the tongue on the bottom of the motor housing that engages into the pedestal at the hinge. I can\'t see what else could be bent laterally. You may be able to overcome it by tilting the chrome bowl engagement ring in the pedestal base, a washer or two between the chrome ring and the pedestal with one of the 3 screws through it. Trial & error.

Hello ajlina,

All of these are great home use units, all the attachments are interchangeable between these. The difference between these mixers is the K5 is a 5 quart mixer and the K45 is a 4.5 quart mixer. As I own both of them they are great in the kitchen and have the same durability.

Have any more questions please post to this thread and I will be happy to assist. Thank you for using FixYa.

This may be explained with the bowl assembly. Being a bowl lift mixer, please follow the following steps to make sure the bowl is being secured before mixing:

There are the bowl-holding arms on the left and right hand side of the mixer. You will place the bowl on these arms, securing it onto the pegs.

Also, take your fingertips and press down firmly at the back of the bowl where it is resting against the base. You will hear an audible click as the bowl secures down into a spring latch mechanism on the stand mixer base, allowing the mixing bowl to sit flush and secure.
