Both answers are adequate the first being slightly superior. Fiddling with the mixer if it is new from the retailer or an authorized re-seller could void the Warranty.

Kitchen-Aid has the best warranty on the planet, truly no questions asked from date of registration or date on purchase receipt it simply is return for replacement no questions asked and it is EXACTLY 365 days long. At day 366 expect to pay for anything that is wrong with the mixer.

Some people wait a long time to get their Kitchen Aid mixer and are not familiar with the machine over all. When you attach the mixing paddle whip hook, you must rotate the instrument around the shaft until it finds the mounting pin slot and that will allow the paddle to be pulled up about 1/2 inch higher and then twisted into the final locked position for operation. I know it sounds silly or simple but as a tech I have had to answer this question a time or two over the last 15 years. Always when the operator sees how it attaches I get the "awwww that's too simple"

Now to the meat of the problem. The motor still ran but with any load, the paddle/dough hook/wire wisk would not turn. This is a gear problem under the transmission cover. I would personally believe that if this is a new machine then the worm gear axel has popped out of its locked position or a gear tooth has broken. In which case you can get it repaired locally for about $80.00 if it is out of warranty. Or by KitchenAid for about $120.00 (you have to send it away if you don't live near a repair center) if it is out of warranty.

If it is still in warranty even if it is day 364, KitchenAid (Whirlpool-they own KA) They will send a new machine and a shipping label for return shipping with no out of pocket costs from you. You unload the replacement machine and repack the container with the bad machine and send it back. If you try to keep the old machine and the new one you will get charged full retail. You see you will need a working credit card to get the service. Or you will need to take it to a service center or mail it back first if you do not have a credit card. The 600 weighs 29 pounds and cost by USPS about $37.00 to ship up to 1200 miles. UPS will charge about $8.00 dollars more unless you have a UPS account then possibly less. FedEx Ground may also be an option.

Packing material to ship back if you have not kept the original OEM packaging is about $12.00 unless you have access to material as a part of your life. I think that is about it. Unless you want repair instructions which are available right here on FixYa. Let us know if this helps you. if not get back to us so that we can help FixYa.

one would assume that if you get a 40 qt. bowl. you will most likely increase your batch size, correct, i would make do with what you have, that mixer was designed for a 30 qt. bowl, not a 40, hence the d 340 model, but the choice is yours. i would stay with what you have, monomoy

Hi FMOINIZ, by the symptom you are describing, you need to adjust your mixer’s Bowl to Beater Clearance. This is quite an easy task, and is explained in your Users Instruction manual that came with your mixer. If you do not have one, you can easily download a PDF version from the KA website at: ’t have the original manual you can easily download a PDF version of your Owners Manual from the KA website at: (http://www.kitchenaid.com/flash.cmd?/#/page/home).
Click on Customer Care>Locate Manuals& Guides> and enter the 6 character model number, in your case KSM150 and select the file listed for your model that appears under Owners Manuals (4) KP50PSWW0.pdf (2930.74 KB) and save that file to your PC. Turn to Page 11 and you will find the instructions for adjusting the Bowl-Lift model mixer head height.
But to save you some time, I have extracted the instructions below:
Bowl-Lift models
• Unplug mixer.
• Place bowl lift handle in down position.


• Turn screw (B) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise flat beater and clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.
•Make adjustments with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl.
I hope this helps! –Howard, Burke, VA

Hello. Actually, the wisk releases just like the other attachments do......... just lift and twist it 1/4 turn.

There is a retaining clip part number 9703680 illus no 25 on pg 5 of this part diagram http://www.goodmans.net/images/dmg/ka_diagrams/KP26M1X.pdf that part slip down the shaft on my mixer. I use a pair retain clip pliers to put back in place in the grove on the shaft and was back in business. if the clip is not on the shaft then you need to get a new one.

this is an extremly difficult mixer to take apart if you are not tech minded do not attempt this

ok firstly if you have a stand mixer with the lift bowl you have to put a dime on the side of the bowl at the base and see how much clearence is needed to be taken away. if the dime gets moved the mixer is ok. if not take off the flat beater, take out the bowl, and look at the back of the stand. just below the motor about 2 inches you will see a screw. turn it to the left a quarter of a turn. dont over adjust do it slowly. if you have the one that you tilt the head back on do the same thing with the screw up to you get to the adjusting part. the screw will be in a different spot on those mixers. it is located in the neck of the mixer. it is right in the area that tilts back. the dime shouldnt fly around the bowl it should just gently get tapped. and never use the wisk when adjusting always use the flat attachment. and always adjust slowly never over adjust.
