Hub Gear

Removed four screws to remove main cover. Removed four more screws to remove fractured plastic gear housing cover. Removed retainer ring and slid two gears and dowel off main shaft. Lifted out remaining gear train and bearings, Removed all grease and metal chips from all components. Greased new gears and reassembled. Replaced plastic gear housing cover with oreviously purchased die cast replacement part. Assembled main cover.

sat on the kitchen table and with a screwdriver started to disasemble the mixer,hardest part was taking snap ring off (easy after you buy snap ring pliers)as gears were lifted off noticeable wearing was present on all parts. the bearing housing on the gearcase was broken lose, the only major expense. the other parts are not expensive so i decided to renew all parts. glad i did felt proud of myself when job was done. would do it again Joe

I investigated the problem by opening the mixer (four screws) and examining the gear box. Two gears were stripped. I ordered them, using the parts diagram provided. They arrives in about two days. I disassembled the gear box, cleaning out all grease and inspected for further damage. The gears and housing were completely cleaned with solvent. The transmission was then reassembled and regreased with food-grade grease. The mixer is now reassembled and working well. I was very pleased with the price and simplicity of my repair, versus taking it to a repair shop.

Very happy to find that the new gear housing was metal, not plastic. The whole problem was poor design of plastic to hold metal gears. Removed housing held down by four screws, removed two gears that were damaged. Retaining ring was difficult to remove from retaining slot. New gears replaced the old ones, new retaining ring put in place, new grease packed into all gearing, new stronger metal housing put in place and the Kitchenaid industrial mixer is better than new. Very happy with the parts I purchased.

remov5 screws then snap ring thenn 4 screws then reploace with new parts and put back together

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

Removed 4 screws on mixer top. Removed 4 screws to gear box cover. Ordered replacement gears from Parts Select. Removed snap ring. Repaced two gears. Applied gear grease, replaced snap ring & screws. Gears at local appliance dealer were $39 each. Total parts from Parts Select + shipping under $20, received in 3 days!

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.
