How do I remove my KitchenAid attachment?
My KitchenAid attachment appears to be stuck. I attempt to push up to remove the dough hook and it does not budge one bit. I am thinking I'm either doing something completely wrong or there's some way to get it unstuck!
Any advice?
Best Answer
It is usually stuck because of fresh or old food particles getting into the socket or release mechanism
The simplest way is to drizzle boiling water onto the release mechanism. A few large pours over some minutes may be required to soften and remove the food particles
A quick spray of silicone oil may be required after this as the boiling water removes all factory lubrication too
Unplug the machine first! and take great care not to get water into the motor or electronic parts. Position the device over a sink or bucket so that water will flow away from the motor and electronic parts

How do I remove the pin from my KitchenAid mixer?
I had whacked at the pin with a pin punch and tried WD-40 with no luck. I set the Kitchenaid on its side outside on concrete and heated the pin area for a couple of minutes. Result: The pin popped outed with a few hits on the pin punch just like the the YouTube videos show.How do you remove beater from hand mixer?
Push down the eject button as low as possible; the beaters or dough hooks should fall out. If the beaters or dough hooks do not fall out of the appliance by themselves, you can keep pushing the eject button and gently pull them out with your hand.KITCHENAID ACCESSORY REMOVAL

Answer 2
My dough hook was almost impossible to remove. I tried many things but pouring very hot water over the the spring and shaft worked in a short time. Make sure it is unplugged and water does not get into the motor. It might take several attempts to free it. Clean the shaft and the area of the hook where the shaft inserts. Apply some cooking oil to those areas after cleaning. You will have to lay the appliance on it's side to perform this procedure.
Answer 3
had a stuck mixer attachment, 2mins under the hot tap worked, then I added vaseline to the top to make it easier to attach, I believe washing in dishwasher removed all grease from it.
thanks
Answer 4
KitchenAid recommends that you compress a warm, wet towel around the top of the attachment for 10 minutes. Reheat the towel and repeat for another couple of minutes. The warmth will cause the aluminum to expand, and with some wiggling, should allow you to release the attachment.
