Do you mean the whisk? I know my whisk is not dishwasher safe (unfortunately DH didn't know that 
), but my paddle and dough hook both said they were DW safe. Mine are coated in white.
I also have put all 3 attachments in the top rack of my dishwasher (paddle and dough hook are coated in white)...in fact, the manual even states they can be washed in a dishwasher.
The white coated ones can be washed in the dishwasher. The non-coated ones which look silver, cannot be washed in the dishwasher. I have the 6 quart 525watt. It comes with the silver attachments and it states in the manual that they cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
DH put my silver whisk attachment in the dishwasher, and it seems OK, but is no longer silver, but gray.
Thanks for the infor chasevp - and I must add - what an attractive picture that makes! Just reading your post I pictued by whip just soaking up those germs !
The sales rep I spoke with on the phone said that neither needed to be in there. She said that the dishwasher wears down the coating and once the coating is gone, it can't be used. The burnished, silver, ones are not supposed to be in the dishwasher because they eat off the protective coating and then it's not supposed to be used. I called to order more attachements because mine, coated and burnished, both were rough and gritty feeling. This is just the information I was told.
