• Disconnect power; also shut off water or gas supply if applicable
• Access the assembly per your model's service information and note part orientation before removal
• Inspect the shaft/hub and any spacers or seals for wear; replace related worn components
• Seat the bearing squarely—do not force; apply only manufacturer-specified lubricant if called for in service literature

Replaces a worn or stripped shaft-and-pinion assembly in your stand mixer. Installs in the geartrain to transfer motor rotation to driven components.

Secures the worm gear and drive shaft in your stand mixer. Replace if the pin is missing, bent, or has fallen out, preventing proper rotation.

This vertical center shaft aligns and drives the rotating components in the refrigerator's ice dispenser/crusher assembly, helping cubes and crushed ice dispense smoothly. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores reliable dispensing performance.

• Centers and supports the crusher/dispenser components for smooth operation
• Transfers drive from the dispenser motor through the crushing mechanism
• Helps prevent jams and binding caused by misalignment or wear
• Common symptoms: ice not dispensing, no crush function, grinding/clicking noises, wobbling shaft or visible wear

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; handle sharp crusher blades with cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the ice bin and disassemble the crusher housing on a flat work surface
• Note the order of blades, spacers, washers, and any clips; transfer them to the new shaft in the same sequence
• Reinstall the bin, ensure the drive coupling engages fully, restore power, and test dispensing

Attachment hub not spinning or grinding noise? This hub gear kit restores power transfer to mixer attachments. Advanced repair requiring full disassembly.

Attachment hub not spinning or grinding noise? This hub gear kit restores power transfer to mixer attachments. Advanced repair requiring full disassembly.

Mixer makes growling noise but beater won't spin? This steel retaining pin locks drive components in place. Moderate repair; disassembly required.

Hardware washer/spacer used in KitchenAid stand mixer assembly. Provides proper component spacing and secure mounting.

Seals the planetary gear case to prevent grease leaks. Replace if oil appears around the outer case or after opening the mixer for repairs. Confirm fit.

This genuine replacement gear is a drivetrain component that transfers motor rotation to a mating mechanism inside your appliance. Replacing a worn or stripped gear restores smooth, reliable motion and helps prevent damage to adjacent parts.

• Meshes with adjacent gear(s) or a shaft to drive an internal mechanism
• Worn or rounded teeth can cause slipping, skipping, or no movement
• Intermittent or stalled movement can indicate a stripped or damaged gear

• Disconnect power (and shut off water/gas if applicable) before servicing
• Access the assembly; note orientation and timing marks
• Transfer any spacers, keys, or retaining clips from the old gear
• Seat the new gear fully and verify smooth manual rotation before restoring power

Replace a worn, bent, or broken agitator shaft in your stand mixer. This shaft connects attachments to the planetary mechanism for proper operation.

Mixer makes growling noise but beater won't spin? This steel retaining pin locks drive components in place. Moderate repair; disassembly required.

This planetary drip ring fits around a stand mixer's planetary assembly to cover the gap below the gearcase and help catch grease residue, restoring a clean, finished look where the beater hub meets the mixer head.

• Mounts at the base of the mixer head around the planetary housing
• Helps deflect incidental gearbox grease residue away from the bowl area
• Covers the seam between housing and planetary for a clean, finished appearance
• Replace if bent, cracked, loose, missing, or if you notice grease spotting beneath the planetary

• Unplug the mixer and remove the bowl and attachments
• Gently pry off the old ring; clean the seating surface of debris or residue
• Align and press the new ring evenly until fully seated; avoid deforming the ring or striking the gearcase
• On some models, access may require lowering/removing the planetary

Small flat washer used in KitchenAid stand mixer assemblies. Provides proper spacing and load distribution between fastened components.

Fix grinding noises and stripped gears in your stand mixer. This pinion drive gear transfers motor power through the gear train for smooth mixing.

Machine screw with 10-24 thread fastens motor housing, gearcase, and internal brackets in stand mixers. Replace stripped or missing screws to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration.

Seals the center shaft to prevent grease and liquid leaks in your stand mixer. Replace when you notice grease leaking down the shaft. Confirm fit by model.

Size: 6-32 x 9/32 inch.

• Secures components to frames, brackets, or covers
• Helps maintain proper alignment of panels and hardware
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped fasteners
• Common signs: loose/rattling panels, misaligned parts, or a screw that won't tighten

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing
• Match thread and length to the original fastener; reuse any washers if present
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the driver that matches the head style on your original screw

• Thread size: 6-32 (machine screw)

Mixer beater stopped rotating or making noise? This worm gear and bracket assembly transfers motor power to attachments. Moderate DIY repair with video.

Genuine 10-24 thread screw secures panels, brackets, and assemblies in stand mixers. Replace when stripped, missing, or corroded for proper fit.

The Retaining Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This small but essential part ensures the stability and secure fitting of various mixer components, contributing significantly to the appliance's overall performance and durability. Its primary role is to hold parts in place, preventing movement that could lead to wear or malfunction during operation.

Stand mixers are subjected to a variety of stresses, particularly when mixing thick doughs or other dense mixtures. The retaining clip's integrity is vital in these situations, as it helps to maintain the correct alignment and functioning of the mixer's moving parts. 

Symptoms of a bad Retaining Clip in a stand mixer include:

• Components such as beaters or attachments becoming loose or detaching during use.
• Unusual vibration or noise 
• Difficulty in attaching or detaching mixer attachments  

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

If your stand mixer components are loose or misaligned, this grooved retaining pin secures parts together for smooth, quiet operation. Easy fix.

This refrigerator water filter replaces your fridge's internal filtration cartridge to help restore clear, better-tasting drinking water and ice. Simple to swap, it helps maintain household water quality when performance declines. What it does:

• Traps sediment and particulates to improve water clarity
• Reduces chlorine taste and odor for fresher-tasting water and ice
• Helps prevent scale and particulates from reaching dispenser and ice maker
• Common symptoms: cloudy or bad-tasting water, off-odors, or reduced water flow from dispenser

• Turn off the water supply and follow the refrigerator manufacturer's removal instructions before replacing the filter.
• Push/turn or slide new filter into the filter housing until it seats; follow OEM instructions for your model.
• After installation, flush several quarts of water through the dispenser to clear air and any loose carbon residue.
• Replace at recommended intervals and discard used filters per local regulations; do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe without adequate disinfection.

Mounting screw secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance frame. Replace if screw is stripped, missing, or damaged to restore secure fastening.
