Received the beaters. Opened package and removed plastic. Snapped beaters into place!! Easy as that. It's too bad that KitchenAid doesn't offer much as far as attachments go. I love my mixer. I am not able to afford the BIG stand mixer so...If I wanted to continue using my mixer, I had to buy another set of beaters. I do have to say that the beaters I bought from PartSelect were of superior quality than the original beaters. Well worth it to buy another pair from PartSelect!! Thank you PartSelect!!
One of the 4 blades on a beater snapped at the top end.
I put the replacement beaters in the designated sockets exactly as indicated in the bottom of the mixer body. Essentially the same as every other time I have used this mixer.
when mixer was about 1 year old. Complete beater mechanisum cane loose from shaft. Mom was in the middle of baking some cakes, so I took the shaft and beater down to my garage and drilled a straight hole through the beater collar and shaft the threaded it through and installed a screw which after installing I peened over the ends so it wouldnlt come loose. Thie repair lasted longer than the original part by a lot of years. Now the beater became loose on the shaft and was woobelng so I bought a complete new beater assy.
I thought this fix would be a cinch, but when I tried to insert them into their respective slots neither beater could be fully inserted to the necessary 'clicked' locking position.
I love to bake...wash dishes, not so much! I ordered two sets of mixer beaters so I could cut back on the amount of washing beaters between batches. Please feel free to use and share this information.
