Kitchenaid Mixer Plastic Worm Gear Replacement! Mixer Not Spinning.

[@lauralittlejohn-dm9vw]

I followed the instructions on this video, replaced worm gear with the one you recommended and it fixed the issue!!!! Kitchenaid is working again. I’m a girl who doesn’t like to fix things and I almost gave up. Almost cried. Thanks for your quick response on my comment and for your videos. I watched this one and a few others and they were super helpful!!

[@drcoolit]

until this video, I wasn't aware that the PROPER gear material was Kevlar and that the "cheap knock-offs" did not have either that same material and/or had an inferior method of how the hub attached to the plastic portion. In viewing other viewers' comments i can see that they learned the hard way about the difference! You have very useful videos addressing typical repair/maintenance issues for these mixers.

[@MrMixer316]

I appreciate you

[@thisguy2973]

I’ve also heard that some of the newer ones are all metal gears so that while the worm gear may last longer, when it breaks, it’ll be irreparable due to binding issues.

[@drcoolit]

@@thisguy2973 interesting. the kevlar may have less need for lubrication too.

[@un65tube]

Mr. Mixer is right! I bought a cheap worm gear replacement on ebay some weeks ago together with two replacement motor carbon brushes. The gear failed on the first run - 100% waste of money. If you buy cheap, you buy twice! Thanks fpr the nice video. Greetings from Germany :-)

[@MrMixer316]

Hello! Thanks for watching glad to help!

[@WalterMitty1963]

Same here bought a cheap worm gear. Claimed to be stronger than oem! It spins but won't turn even cookie dough!

[@whiteranger0505]

Bought an Amazon worm gear and my mixer appeared to work until it was put under load. I Replaced that gear with one of your factory gears and it works great now. Thanks for the videos!

Dude!! Thank you for making this vid! I watched 3 vids before I found yours and I would have saved so much hassle if I’d watched yours first. Thank you!!!

Wish I had watched your videos last year when i replaced with an Amazon gear. Here I am doing the job again, this time, I bought from you, great videos!

[@MrMixer316]

😢 It's a shame that they are even able to sell those. It's such a joke. I'm glad I could help

[@vincentlenci]

You make it look so easy the pin won't come out !!

[@tucker2251]

I bought "that" gear. Now I'm paying for it twice! didn't even get through one batch of cookies. Bought a factory one from you and now I'm watching your video to install it!

[@MrMixer316]

Sorry I wish I could have warned you sooner!

[@dangranger3130]

Wish I would have watched this video before buying cheap replacement on Amazon. Immediately broke. Good video!

[@MrMixer316]

It's so unfortunate that they are even able to sell those!! Happy to help

[@ChrsitopherC]

Boom! Amazon + your video, Money saved. Easy fix. Bravo!

[@MrMixer316]

Nooo!! If you buy an Amazon gear it will fail! The gear is going to start spinning around the bearing and slipping so it won't mix properly. Consider picking one up from our website. You'll notice the issue the first couple times you use it.

[@angelabachert8996]

Received the replacement gear and grease today. The videos were perfect for replacing both. Thank you so much for such simple clear directions.

[@mikeaninger7388]

Spectacular tutorial! Very educational for my current situation. Now let me educate you on proper gear names… What you are replacing is properly called a helical gear, designed to be quieter in car transmissions and great forrr…. Worm gear driven applications. The long screw like gear driving your Kevlar helical? THAT is your worm gear.

[@rameshbezawada5161]

Thanks for the video, I replaced gear successfully. Machine working perfectly.

[@mckenziesundallgaspar4941]

Thank you so much for this video! Would you recommend doing this if my mixer gets warm and struggles/stops spinning when mixing heavy things like bread doughs?

[@MrMixer316]

I would recommend regreasing your machine, it will help quite a bit!

[@leonwen3964]

Nice! Finally I got solution from this video, thank you so much

[@MrMixer316]

[@yzelsvlog8456]

good video i want to ask if what to do if the machine will run for a second and will stop thankyou

[@MrMixer316]

Does the motor completely stop or does it keep running but the beater shaft stops? Which model of machine?

[@lorenlasko8741]

Thanks for the video, though I had a question, I bought a worm gear (before seeing your video) the description says it is an OEM part (and it came in a "whirlpool factory certified part" bag) but the gears are black (instead of yellow) do you know if they changed colors recently? The part states it was manufactured in 2021 and doesn't spin freely.

[@MrMixer316]

Yes they switched to black about a year ago, however it should free spin. Did you buy the whole tower or just the gear?

[@lorenlasko8741]

@@MrMixer316 thanks for that conformation. I was just talking about the worm gear not the whole tower. I gear itself doesn't spin free on the bearings (like you showed it shouldn't in the video) so I assumed it was genuine OEM but the color was concerning me. Thanks for making me feel better before making the repair, love the videos they are very informative

[@siferuk]

Great video cheers, don't suppose you or anyone else has heard of people buying good quality gears from the uk? the amazon ones look cheap and my wife relies on the mixer for her business. thanks again.

[@MrMixer316]

I'm not sure where to get them in the UK, we ship there but shipping is 20$, do not buy Amazon the gears fail immediately and you will have to take it apart and swap it again.

[@annasolovei8364]

Removing the pin is extremely difficult, especially with the whole part rotating. Wish you slowed this down and showed how you did it close up. Your insteuctions are great, but this prpcess took me several hours in reality. Things dont come apart easily at all.

[@seidysbakery]

Thank you!!!!! This was so detailed I felt I could do it….and did it!!

[@MrMixer316]

Love to hear it! Its my pleasure!

[@paulwilcox7031]

I have enjoyed following along with the video. I have my machine half way apart. My mixer does not tilt back, but the bowl holding arm raises and lowers. I have follow up to the point of removing the screws that hold the top cover on near the planetary but I do not see screws in the back. I got the plug wire freed from where it was but now I am stuck. I don't have two screws in the back and the top cover seems quite secure. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you very much.

[@pjbaileybeta]

My mixer is making a loud whining noise and grinding a bit under heavy loads, I’ve also noticed inconsistent orbital speed at higher settings. Could this be an issue with the worm gear? Thanks for the great videos and advice!

[@MrMixer316]

It could be, but more likely an issue with the phase board/speed plate or governor

[@JoanneFong]

omg I laughed so hard when you opened that desk drawer. so relatable.

[@MrMixer316]

😅 Watching these old videos brings back some memories! My shop has changed drastically since then!

[@stefaneener1]

Carefully tapping the pin in but it's bending toward the gear. I'm going to keep trying but have my doubts. Very tight, and this is a vintage Hobart lift bowl model.

[@artilarygoboom]

damn, did not realize the worm gear was made of kevlar, that is way stronger then some plastic aftermarket one.

[@umeramirza3173]

[@LitaNL07]

I opened mine up and the worm gear looks fine but the pinion gear it wrecked to the point that the grease was silver. Is this common? I'm going to order the part if I can in Canada but I'm worried if I don't know what caused it it will just happen again.

I think just replacing it is fine! You'll need grease, a gasket and the pinion shaft gear is what it's called. Ive seen it a few times

[@mingyangxu2948]

I have a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer KSM150, which is about 5 years old. Recently it had some big noises and thus I changed the worm gear as well as grease. Now it can spin quietly without anything in the bowl, but when it is making a dough with a flat beater it occasionally gets stuck and stops spinning (motor still sounds running) until it slowly gets over it. It looks as if it is not powerful enough or the torque is not large enough. Do you have any idea what might cause this problem? Thank you

The problem with the 5 quart mixers is they put in a Nylon aka plastic gear which wears out. That is one reason I payed $50 more and got the 6 quart model with a heavier motor. I like metal gears which last longer . Also easier to work on. I say better built as well.
