Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original KitchenAid part?
The part is a compatible replacement for models listed above. Check your mixer’s manual or model plate to confirm fit before purchasing.
Will the coating chip?
The nylon coating is designed for durability. Avoid metal scouring pads and nestling it with sharp tools to maximize lifespan.
Can I mix non-yeast doughs?
Yes, but the dough hook excels with yeast doughs. For batters or creaming, use the flat beater; for whipping, use the wire whisk.
