I have a new kitchen aid mixer, how do I get the glass mixing bowl to lock in?
1806255
I also have had only stainless steel bowls for my KitchenAid mixer. However, both of the bowls screw into the base of the mixer and if screwed in properly, remain locked in regardless of what I am mixing. I did, however, have to replace the metal plate on the base of the mixer recently because the threads had worn down and the bowls kept unscrewing. A new metal plate cost only about $8 or $9 and took about a minute to replace using a screwdriver. So, I would first check that your bowl is properly screwed down, and then check the condition of the threads on the base plate.

I had this problem too. Went to Chefs; they tightened the gray ring and showed me how to tighten it more by holding the bowl down and turning it. Also when you unlock it, don't push on it hard.

Glass? I'm not sure about that, I once had to replace my stainless steel bowl lock because it was worn out. What is the problem your having getting it to lock in currently?

Locks in the same way the steel bowels do. There should be a grey locking ring on the bottom of the bowl

There is the blender glass pitcher, the metal piece with the revolving blades, and the plastic screw cap. Place the glass pitcher up-side-down on the counter. Now place a rubber 'O Ring' on the bottom rim of the glass pitcher (which is facing upwards, since the pitcher is up-side-down). Follow this by placing the metal piece with the blades on top of the 'O Ring' (so that the blades are inside the glass pitcher). Lastly, screw on the plastic screw cap that fits on the bottom of the glass pitcher. Make certain that the screw cap is on tight so that whatever you put in the glass pitcher to be blended doesn't leak out from the bottom. This should do it!

I would check my paper work or service manual that came with your Kitchen Aid mixer, if you still have it. If not check online at www.kitchenaid.com or call them at 1-800-253-1301. Hopefully you will be able to get help. Hope I was able to help you.

when looking at the holes for the beaters on the mixer, the right side has a diagram showing that the male beater (the one with an extra "ring" near the base of the beater) goes on the right side. The one with no "ring" goes on the left side. Also, push firmly until you hear a "click". that should do the trick. If you mix them up, then they will slide right out. Also, dont push the top button near the on switch...that pops out the beaters when done. hope that helps!!!

The mixer is supposed to snap onto the storage container, however mine does not want to snap on. I will fiddle with it a bit more to see if I can get it to snap on and stay on.

my newest replacement is having the same issue. I have to use a screwdriver or something to push in the lock if I've used it hard. Im going to take mine apart and see if theres a molding edge or something that needs filed off.

The basket is hard to get in because of the side clips inside the baker unit. If you are pushing down and it still does not go down, then you may need to rotate the turning blade on the bottom of the mixing pan to realign it to the bottom of the baker unit.

Hold the cup with the handle slightly angled to the left, and turn counterclockwise (to your right). That should snap it into place. Not too much effort needed.

I don't know why your mixer is not working with this blade. I could be the wrong size. Look at the bottle of the bowl for its correct size.

I have a Kitchen-Aid 2-beater hand mixer and it works beautifully. You just insert the whisk and turn it on. Amazon is great about returns if it doesn't work out.

If I remember correctly it's locked with the little silver bit on the front of the lid. Pull that bit out til the edge is flush with the rest of the lid. Hope it works/helps!

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily.Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

Good question, and I wish Kitchenaid would respond!I looked on the bottom of the mixing bowl, for its capacity and then backtracked to arrive at what I figured was our model. Ordered that accessory and, luckily, it was correct; if it had not been, the accessories would have been sent back, etc.

It must be defective. We didn't have any problem attaching it to our mixer. You should exchange it.

I have not had this problem with the KitchenAid. Just make sure that it snaps in before starting the mixer.

I just use a bowl that fits, so that the food processor sits on it comfortably without wobbling. I didn't have to go and buy a special bowl, I used a regular mixing one.
