• 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

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 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.
