KitchenAid beater stuck on new machine [duplicate] - Chrome and Black Engine Display

I’ve used my machine twice. I went to try to put a different attachment on it and the pin won’t move.



Best Answer

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.

How do you remove a stuck beater from a KitchenAid mixer?

Use a Warm Compress
  • Compress a wet, warm towel around the beater shaft for 10 minutes.
  • Re-warm it after the 10 minutes, put it on again, and let it sit for 1 -2 more minutes. This will re-warm the aluminum, causing it to expand. After this time, try to wiggle and remove the beater.
