• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded screws
• Symptoms include loose or rattling panels, misaligned parts, or hardware that won't stay tight

• Disconnect power; shut off gas before servicing
• Support panels/components while removing or installing hardware
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten only until snug
• Match the original screw's location and orientation for proper fit

This factory replacement screw fastens appliance components securely. Use it to replace lost, stripped, or corroded hardware and restore a snug, rattle-free fit and proper alignment of panels and assemblies.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to their mounting points
• Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to maintain correct alignment
• Helps eliminate vibration and rattling caused by loose hardware
• Restores the original fit with OEM-matched threads and dimensions

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver bit that matches the screw head to avoid stripping

Secures hinge, lever, or linkage to its bracket on your stand mixer. Replace this screw if stripped, missing, or damaged to restore proper alignment.

Replace your mixer's wavy spring washer to reduce vibration and noise. This washer maintains proper tension between shaft components for smoother operation.

Mixer stuck on one speed or won't start? A faulty speed control is the likely cause. This repair restores all speed settings and smooth operation.

This speed selector lever is a replacement control lever that lets you choose and change a cycle's spin speed on compatible appliances, restoring proper user control and tactile feedback at the console. What it does:

• Engages the speed selector mechanism so the control responds when you change spin/speed settings
• Provides a secure grip and detent action so selections register reliably
• Replaces cracked, worn, or loose levers that won't stay in position
• Helps eliminate intermittent or unresponsive speed selection at the console

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• Use basic hand tools; access may require removing the console or control panel.
• Handle panels and clips carefully to avoid breakage; replace any damaged fasteners.

This factory fastener secures appliance components and panels in their intended positions. Replacing a missing, stripped, or corroded screw restores a tight fit, helping maintain alignment and reduce looseness and vibration-related noise.

• Fastens brackets, covers, and internal parts to the cabinet or frame
• Replace if the head is rounded, threads are worn, corroded, or the screw is missing
• Helps address rattling, buzzing, or wobbling caused by loose hardware
• Supports proper alignment of panels and assemblies

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Use the correct driver size/type to prevent stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten (especially into plastic)
• Replace one-for-one in the original location and orientation

Drip ring for stand mixers. Fits around the beater shaft to catch drips and splatter. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing for clean operation.

This planetary assembly transfers motor torque to the washer transmission, enabling the wash basket or agitator to rotate properly. Replacing a worn planetary restores smooth drive action and helps reduce noise and agitation issues. What it does:

• Converts motor output into the gearbox motion that turns the basket or agitator
• Commonly needed when rotation is slow, intermittent, or the washer makes grinding or rumbling noises
• Prevents further wear to the transmission by restoring proper gear engagement
• Works as the internal drive interface between the motor and gearcase

• One planetary assembly

• Designed for drop-in replacement;
• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Inspect adjacent seals, bushings, and gears during installation and replace if worn

This planetary gear assembly drives the washer transmission to deliver proper agitation and spin. Replacing a worn or damaged planetary helps restore normal washer movement and reduce noise from the transmission. What it does

• Transfers motor rotation into the transmission to enable agitation and/or spin
• Stops slipping or inconsistent agitation caused by stripped or broken gear teeth
• Reduces grinding, whining, or knocking sounds from the gearcase
• Helps restore proper clothes movement and improve wash performance

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before accessing the washer transmission
• Inspect surrounding transmission components and seals; replace any damaged parts
• Use proper tools and follow OEM service instructions
• Do not operate the washer with missing or damaged transmission parts

This planetary shaft assembly transfers rotational force from the drive mechanism to the appliance's gearing, restoring proper rotation and support for the driven components. Replaces worn or damaged shaft/planetary hardware to reduce noise and wobble. What it does:

• Drives the planetary gear set so attached parts rotate smoothly and evenly.
• Restores proper engagement when worn teeth or a damaged shaft cause slipping.
• Helps stop grinding, clunking, or irregular motion caused by a failing shaft/gear interface.
• Supports alignment of the gear train to prevent excessive vibration.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Follow the appliance's service manual or tech sheet for correct disassembly and reassembly steps.
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings, and fasteners; replace as needed for reliable operation.

If your mixer makes grinding noises or the beater won't turn, the planetary gear assembly likely needs replacement. This repair restores smooth operation.
