Tilt Head Bowl Clearance Issue

Hi all,

I’m having an issue trying to adjust the bowl clearance on my Artisan Series 5 qt tilt head mixer and hoping someone here could give me some guidance.

I was recently mixing some pizza dough (only on speed 2) and experienced some kick back on the mixer head. Without doing any research, I tightened the adjustment screw thinking that would help.

Everything seemed fine until the next time I used the mixer. I was mixing cookie dough with the paddle attachment and when I lifted it up, I noticed the enamel on the bottom had chipped off.

Now I have a stainless steel attachment and just tried to do the dime test to readjust the bowl clearance. However, it seems that no matter which way I turn the adjustment screw, the paddle is still fully in contact with the bowl. The adjustment screw doesn’t seem to be stripped.

Is it possible that something could be broken internally from when I was mixing the pizza dough?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!
