This gives some help

Use this link to find parts. Have your model number available.

Once you have the correct part number, you can google "KitchenAid replacement parts" and purchase from a vendor of your choosing.

First congrats on the great mixer that you have. next the pro 6 or professional 600 series mixers are of an entirely different design than the one that you have even though they are both bowl lift. Do you really need 6 quarts capacity? The pro series is a 575 watt mixer BTW, and it will have more power available to you IF you are doing bread or a lot of food grinding, if that is a requirement that you have then the 6 / 600 series is the better suited mixer but if all you are doing is general medium to light mixing duties then fix and keep the K5SS it a great machine,

Hi WWW_SOCRAFTI, you can easily download both the Owner’s Manual and Parts List manual for your K5SS mixer online from the KA website at: http://www.kitchenaid.com/flash.cmd?/#/page/home.
Click on Customer Care>Locate Manuals & Guides> Enter the 6 character model number, in your case use KSM50P (Your K5SS mixer falls within this model range), and then select this file: KSM50PPWH0.pdf (5156.65 KB) from the Owners Manuals (9) list and this file: KSM50P.pdf (438.31 KB) listed under Parts List (4). Check to verify they match your mixer model. You can save them to your PC hard drive, and then you can print a hard copy if you wish, or just refer to it when you need to use it.
The reason I suggest downloading the Parts List manual is that should you decide to try and troubleshoot and fix your KA mixer, this manual will be invaluable in the disassembly and reassembly of your mixer along with listing all the part names and numbers. Having the correct part names and numbers is critical when reordering replacement parts when your mixer eventually will stop working.
Good Luck with your mixer, I hope this helps. Howard, Burke, VA

Lift the head on the mixer, there is a screw in the center of the hinge. Turn this to adjust the height of the head when it is lowered back down.

sounds like you need a new bowl lift cam, on the n-50 which is a hobart table-top model pull top off pedestle, you will see the cam you have to remove one cotter pin and remove one split pin install new cam reassemble

I am pretty sure that the model K5ss has a fixed head that cannot be tilted...
The bowl just moves up and down..

I dont know much about them but If you cannot get it repaired I do have a lift bowl stand mixer that I bought without the bowl or attachments that I would sell for $80.00 Or I will buy your attachments. Thanks, Mark.
