Einleitung
While rare, being the only plastic piece in the bowl-lift mechanism, occasionally the internal bowl-lift adjustment bracket can fail. This can cause the bowl-lift arm to either no longer function or cause the bowl to not raise/lock into its proper position. This guide takes you step-by-step through replacing the incorrectly functioning part.
NOTE: This part is not responsible for setting the final/locked height of the bowl. That is the responsibility of the Bowl-Lift Arm Adjustment Cam. So if your bowl is raising too high or just barely too low, look into replacing that part instead.
