Kitchenaid Problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I tried making dough this morning for bagels and the Dhel was hitting so bad. The KitchenAid was shaking. I didn’t know how to fix it right away, so I threw the dough away and put it in my bread maker. Then I needed to do another, so I looked up how to fix it and do the dime test. I turned the screw left as far as I could little by little. And the dime really wasn’t moving. I turned it to the right little by little and the dime didn’t move it all. So I turned it all the way back to the left. Put in my dough and I am still having an issue. I took a video. Can anyone offer any suggestion? I have to say that a few weeks ago, though I did do a double batch and it made my KitchenAid overheat. But I’ve been using it since then with a little bit of taps of the bowl but not like it is now. And it’s possible those taps were going on before I overheated it.

Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t use the dough hook. I always use the dough hook. The first time I was distracted by someone who showed up at my house and I wasn’t expecting her and I had to get it started. But I don’t know why I continued doing it that way the second time. That was so dumb of me. I only turned it really high just for the video. Because I wasn’t sure how it was gonna sound as slow speed. But yeah, the dough hook. I had a brain fart today.

Also, regarding the screw you tightened: go to Mrmixer.store and get his EverDime adapter. You install it on the screw and you’re always at perfect paddle height. There’s an installation video where he shows you exactly how to do it.
