The other day when I was making Cuban bread for cheesesteak I noticed the hinge pin on my KitchenAid stand mixer was protruding from one side almost 2 inches. I pushed it back into place and forgot about looking into it.
The pin in question -
There's a short video on KA's website re: correcting this, figured I'd pass the info on. If you turn the mixer on its side there's an adjustment screw that can be tightened from the underside which holds the hinge pin securely in place -
Mine was in serious need of tightening. There'd be nothing worse than having the mixer head fall off and do a number on the countertop.
I've had the mixer for 15+ years, never knew about this. I figured I'd pass it on to the brethren. My mixer head has been a bit wobbly lately, this should take care of it.
Mods: if there's a better place for this, feel free to relocate it.
