Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This worm gear is an inch and a half in diameter. It is used for some of Whirlpool's brands of mixers.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Perfect Fit for worn out gear
My mixer started grinding and would stop mixing at the slightest resistance. I read online the most common problem was a worn out worm gear. After taking the motor apart, it was clearly the common failure.
I first looked on Amazon, but had trouble locating authentic replacements. Every part seemed to be the "improved" version where the gear would spin on the hub. No thanks!
I got my part we standard shipping just as fast.
Now I am back to making bread :)

Great part, great instructional video!
I received the gear promptly at a great price. Just as important, the YouTube video on how to install the gear was fabulous & made the repair simple. Thanks!

worm gear stripped
Looked for the probable cause from a U-tube video, then found the parts list and repair video on the PartSelect website. When the parts arrived within 3days the shipped email had a video on exactly how to complete the repair. Repair video was very well done and easy to follow.
i disassembled the mixer until i could remove the worm gear; is in a housing that that includes another gear and shaft. make sure you have a magnetic tray to put parts in as you work or you will spend more time looking for parts than reassembling the mixer. once you have the gear housing out you will need a small diameter punch to drive
... Read more out the pin that holds the gears in the housing(i used a 5/32 transfer punch.) make sure you punch the pin out where it will be caught or you will need to order that part because you will not find it. after knocking the pin out it is just a matter of removing the old gear, putting the new one in, and reversing the steps and getting everything reassembled.
I am not handy, but was able to follow this YouTube video and do this repair easily and successfully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QsgPIL9FpA
I did take the mixer apart first to verify that the worm gear was the issue, then ordered the part from you site. I received it quickly and was able to do the repair and get back to

Plastic worm gear gave way (as designed) when the grain mill over-worked it.
I did exactly what the PartSelect video demonstrated after watching other DIY videos on the Internet, thus I did not remove the stand which seemed like a little too much for a simple straight forward repair. This is the second time I have replaced this gear. The first time was about 10 years ago when the bakelite gear broke on a 30 year o
... Read moreld KitchenAid K -45. That mixer made hundreds of loaves of bread after grinding many pounds of wheat berries. The only reason we had to replace it was that it walked off the flour dusted counter and landed on its head when my wife had her back turned. Otherwise we would still be using it. :-) Thanks for the excellent service and instructions.

No rotation on mixer
You tube has great instructions! I would suggest when you buy a part to let customer know that they need a food grade gear grease ordered to complete the reinstall of all gears and body parts!

I am replacing the worm gear in my kitchen aid mixer. The grease is full of shredded nylon so I think I need to replace the grease. Is there any particular weight or composition grease I should use. Any grease that I should avoid using?
For model number K5SSDWH
Hello Robert, Thank you for the question. You will need to use the mixer grease, PartSelect Number PS12583821. Hope this helps!
After a 10 min bread dough knead with the hook attachment, the hook stopped spinning, but I could hear the motor continuing to try. How do I know if it's the worm gear or something else?
For model number K45SSWH
Hi Dana,
Thank you for your question. If the dough hooks will not rotate we would recommend checking the worm gear and drive, and the retainer pin. You will need to dismantle the mixer to verify which part is causing the issue. We hope this helps!
