Retaining Pin

Removed the lid of the mixer. Cleaned all grease and removed the worm gear. Installed new gear and packed with new grease Installed lid and checked worked perfect. Easy repair.

The parts I received from PartSelect were higher quality than the original parts. The bevel gear and housing were originally plastic. The new ones are solid metal. The machine sounds and runs better than it ever did. The drawings from the website made this really easy. This will be my first choise for parts from now on.

Took it apart, found stripped gears, a common problem. Reviewed parts diagram on your website. Got the parts, reviewed the diagram, removed defective parts, used retaining ring pliers. put it back together, put new grease in, tried it out. Very easy fix

I removed the decorative band that covers the seam by removing 1 screw. I then removed the top portion of mixer by removing 4 square head screws. You will then see the gear housing in the front of the mixer. Remove the 4 screws holding that on. There are no spring that are going to pop out and you never know where they went, but be careful because there is a lot of grease and a gear that it just laying in there on the right side. You will see the stainless shaft with a couple on gear cogs on it. Remove the retaing spring from the shaft and pull the top gear off, it may be a little snug. You will then see the dowel pin, mine was sheared off but I could see where it was. Be sure to remove the broken pieces. Use the punch to knock out the remaining pin. Replace with new pin making sure it is evenly exposed on both side of the shaft. Replace the top gear, then the retaining spring, the the gear housing cover, then the mixer top cover and finally the decorative band. Be sure to unplug before you start. These mixers are expensive and expensive to have someone fix them. I ordered 2 pins because shipping is a little high and the pin is cheap. I fixed this for $17.00 total and have a spare pin.

Removed cover, removed retaining clip from shaft. Removed gear, removed shaft pin. Removed shaft. Installed new planetary and installed pin, gear, retaining clip. Installed covers. Tested Sat.

Opened the gear housing and removed all gears. Cleaned out all grease. Biggest issue was getting the retaining ring; very tight. Gears were difficult to pull easily. In replacing gears they did not sit easily and took a little rubber hammer to re position worm and upper gear. Be sure to have the right grease for food devices and don’t under grease. And have patience of which I have a short supply.

The repair was easy, I only had to order new gear assembly parts and to replace the associated worn parts (shaft, pin, and gears).
