Customer Questions and Answers for Lower Gearcase Housing (White) by Whirlpool

This lower gearcase housing encloses and supports the planetary and lower gear train in a stand mixer. Replacing a damaged housing restores alignment and helps contain lubrication for quieter, consistent mixing performance.

• Houses the lower gear train and planetary shaft to maintain alignment
• Provides a sealed cavity to help retain grease around gears
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or warped housings that cause wobble or noise
• Helpful when you see grease seepage or cosmetic damage to the lower case

• Unplug the mixer and remove bowl and attachments before service
• Open the motor head and remove the planetary/gear stack as required
• Transfer components to the new housing; renew food-grade mixer grease if servicing gears
• Reassemble and verify beater-to-bowl clearance and smooth operation
