I have an Artisan 325 watt and the lock on the back is slipping. Especially when I use the dough hooks or make cookies. We've replaced the worm gear ourselves. Is this something we can fix ourselves?

In what speed is it slipping?You only use 1st speed for dough,right?Can you put it in gear and stop the hook from moving with your hand?Let me know.

This is not a solution but I think you have a serious problem you might have sheared some gear teeth whent the mixer jammed and it only manifests itself under a heavy load, I would take it to a repair guy, those mixers are expensive and it would be worth it.

To remove the mixer attachment I belive you must press up on the attachment to lock the inside gear into place. Once it is locked into position you can now twist to the left to remove the attachment. once removed you can pull the shaft back down to unlock the gear.Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Its worth fixing but having someone who specializes in your product is the key, these machines are wonderful products and engineered great. I would say if your mechanically inclined jump on inside the machine and see whats going on, but if your NOT send unit to us USPS it's not that expensive plus you would only have to pay oneway, we will take care of the shipping from our side,,estimated cost $29.00-$49.00

the solution to this is to tighten the screw visible through the base that intersects the pin. Turn the machine upside down and using a long flat screwdriver tighten the screw.
