Gears stripped
Dismantling was a little difficult, because the snap ring was soooo tight. (Our snap ring pliers aren't the best.) We also bought gear grease and a new gearcase housing. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the housing had broken until we were removing the old gasket. Once we had all the parts, it was basically a plug and play set up, aside from the snap ring, lol. I really appreciated the schematics that this website supplies. It helped us to know what parts to order.

I used it to make bread - it worked like a dream :)

Chipped and worn gears
Watched several videos on repair. Noted part placement while disassembling. Found problem, ordered and received parts. Cleaned out all old grease. Greased all parts and reassembled per recommendations, paying attention to the bearing race and washer placement. Firmly tensioned all fasteners, cleaned up and tested.

Mixer blade did not turn, striped gears.
Replaced the worm gears. Original were ground down as if they were not seated correctly. Ordered the parts and swapped them out. I do not own a retaining clip removal tool. This was the most difficult, trying to open the clip using 2 needle nose pliers. It made the repair time longer.

gear noise whining
Took the mixer apart many times. Grease all over the place. put new gears in still noisy. The worm gear must have been cut wrong. The noise still there. The part select sent out a new worm gear. I did not put it in yet. I put the old worm gear in and the noise stopped even though it shows wear. Have not decided whether I will put it in yet.I would also like to add that the people that I talked to at the this site were very very helpful and great just great---------

noise in trans.
took it apart. more grease all over. Put in all but one gear on the top. The noise is still there going to try to but the old bearings in and try again. I went back to the old worm gear and allmost all the noise stopped. I did put the new bearings in and the other gears. It seems that the gear on the worm gear was cut wrong. The noise was tear able. I tried the different parts I ordered one at a time. To find out which one stopped the noise. Every time I took a part I had grease all over. It took so long every time I put in a new part to put the trans back together again. I had grease all over.

The front gear was worn
I took all the grease out of the top of the mixer. Saw that the gear was worn. When the new parts came I put as much grease in as was in before. Put it back together and it worked like a champ.

The gear has 60 teeth. The old worm gear had only 52 teeth. My stand mixer is 18 years old. Do you all stock an older part with fewer teeth?
For model number KT2651XWW

Hello Ken, Thanks for your question. The manufacturer has updated the part PS11747012 over the years, and now it has 60 teeth, but it is still guaranteed to work with your model. I hope this helps.
