  2. Unplug the power.
  3. Wait for the mixer to return to room temperature (generally 15-30 minutes).
  4. Try restarting the process.
The mixer does not run when you try to mix. The electrical cord has come unplugged from the socket. Verify that the power plug is plugged into the outlet.
Power is off. Wait for power to return before operating.
Mixer Head isn't locked into place. Make sure the mixer head is locked into the CLOSED position.
The mixer makes excessive noise when running. The mixer is louder at high speeds than low speeds. Choose the right speed to mix food according to the recommendations of this manual.
There is too much food in the bowl and the mixer is overwhelmed. Reduce the amount of food.
The mixer has been mixing for too long. Stop the mixer and allow it to cool down for a while before using.
Mixing speed slows unexpectedly or is uneven. The room temperature is low, causing the lubricant in the mixer to harden. Remove the mixing bowl and let the mixer idle for 5 minutes to soften the lubricant.
The food being mixed is too hard or overloaded, and the mixer cannot keep up. Reduce the amount of food in the bowl.
Mixer sways and shakes when working. The foot pads on the base are off. Replace the foot pads.
The mixer is placed on an uneven surface. Ensure the mixer is on a smooth and flat surface.
