Customer Questions and Answers for Stand Mixer Hub Gear Kit by Whirlpool

Arnie, Normally when a mixer is leaking grease it is because the grease is old and need to be cleaned out and install new grease. To do this you would remove the back cover and disconnect the power cord. Remove the screws holding the trim in place and remove the trim. Remove the 2 screws at the back under the motor housing. Go to the front of the mixer and remove the 2 screws under the unit. Tap the planetary ring off the front and then there should be a pin holding the planetary in place. Tap this pin out and remove the planetary by pulling down. If you go to clean the chrome ring use a paper towel and be cautious of the sharp edges. Once the planetary is out you would remove the 5 screws under the planetary and then you can separate the upper and lower housing. You would clean out as much grease as possible and then put new planetary grease in.
