KitchenAid Mixer
I got a KitchenAid Pro 6000 mixer off woot.com a few days ago. It arrived today, and the beater hits the bowl. I tried to turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lower the bowl, as shown in the manual, but it won't turn. It will turn counterclockwise, however. Did I get a defective mixer?

Mine (17+ years in use) has always brushed the sides and bottom of the bowl.

I have the opposite problem. Mine wont get close enough tot he edges/bottom of the bowl.
I had purchased one of those blades with the little rubber edges which seems to work much better, though.

Update to my saga: KitchenAid is sending a new mixer with a prepaid shipping label for the old one. It's backordered in the color I like, so it'll arrive in 2-6 weeks.

Yes. It was turned all the way already. I suspect this is a Quality Control issue.
