Customer Questions and Answers for Planetary Drip Ring (Mixer) by Whirlpool

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

What's included: One planetary drip ring. Install notes:

• 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

Note: This ring is a trim/deflector piece and not a fluid seal. Persistent oil leakage indicates separate gearcase service.
