How do you get the styrofoam packaging off of the mixer front? Tilt button doesn't seem to work & I'm afraid to cut it off...

Ours came right off. I've made a little cut in the styro on other tightly boxed items and cracked the styro in half. It's always weaker than the item itself.

It was on snuggly, but if you cut a small incision in the front, then push that tilt button, it should crack right off. That's how I did it.

Sure hope I can assist you! 1) Grip the right side of the handle, 2) use your other hand and turn the knob sticking out of the other side of this unit only turning it counter-clock-wise and pull it out. The drum blade should fall out by tapping the entire unit sideways! Remember Jesus is the reason for the Season! Merry Christmas!!!!

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)

That is a good question. I have tried prying it apart but then there was a bad cracking sound so I gave up and bought new ones.

Very easy. Hold on to the mixing blades with a dish cloth or something to protect your hands and simply unscrew the rubber gear (may have to use pliers, but i was able to do it by hand). At that point you can screw on the new one.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

I recommend replacing these 2 parts along with the grease:Gear, bevel 9703337Brass Worm Follower Gear 9706529There is a great video on youtube that takes you through the replacement process step by step. My mixer has worked perfectly ever since! Just make sure you clean out all the old grease!

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!!!

Contact Amazon right away so they can take the appropriate steps to correct this. Other than that, you can also contact the company that shipped the unit and maybe they will send you the part or replace the unit. Referring to the part "Bushing", it may be the locking part that locks the upper drum in place. There is no small bowl to put underneath. I empty the bowl when done and any uncrushed ice is discarded. Then use a paper towel under the crusher to soak up the drips. The only critism of this is that it is very loud. Other than that, it works like it should.

I had the same question when I first opened the package containing the enclosure. The tiny screws weren't installed, but I couldn't figure out how to open it, so I came here to see what worked for other people. What worked for me was just giving the enclosure a slight 'shake' while holding it horizontally (holding the sides of the enclosure, not the top and bottom). That caused the metal bottom to fall out, then I easily removed the top. It's one of those things that once you see how it's done, it makes perfect sense. But until then, it can leave you scratching your head.

Rhonda, I have the same problem with the Sony 46Z4100 I unpacked yesterday. I have a call into the store I bought it from and am waiting for a response. There is no way to adjust the tilt of the stand that I can see without taking the stand apart. It may have to be replaced. Harvey

David, take the KitchenAid mixer apart, & you will see the old grease in the gear assembly. Remove as much of the old grease, then replace with the new. If you want to see how it is done, see this video in Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eY. It is really easy. Hing

I have the same mixer but haven't had that problem. I would see if you can have Oster replace the beaters under warranty.

Mine did the same thing when I first got it. You can adjust the height of the beaters. Lift the top up, like you're going to remove the bowl. There is a screw underneath where the top attaches to the stand. Use a screwdriver to adjust the beater. You turn it to the right to lower it. That fixed mine.

I vote the tilt head. I have had mine for many years and have used the fixed head model at others' houses and was frankly surprised how little I liked it. I found placing the bowl very difficult on the fixed model and I also don't like having to remove the mixer element to remove the bowl and get access to the bowl for scraping.

We had that problem & found that the bottom horizontal struts were collapsed for shipping. There is a button on either side which, when depressed, unlocks the thing & allows you to slide it out to it's full wheelbase extension. Hope this helps.
