Troubleshooting

Stop the mixer and check for any obstructions in the bowl or attachments. Ensure the attachments are properly secured. If the noise persists, contact KitchenAid customer support.

Check that the attachment is properly connected. Ensure the bowl is correctly positioned. Adjust the speed setting to the appropriate level for the task.
