Parts for Kitchenaid KP26M1XACS5: 01 - Color Variation Parts

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion to the mixer attachments so beaters and whisks rotate properly. It restores normal stirring and mixing action when the drive mechanism is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Couples the motor's output to the attachment hub so beaters, whisks or dough hooks turn smoothly
• Replaces a worn, stripped or broken gear that can cause slipping or loss of rotation
• Addresses symptoms such as attachments not turning, intermittent drive, grinding noises or unusual resistance
• Helps restore consistent mixing performance when the original planetary is damaged

• Disconnect power before starting — unplug the appliance or shut off breaker
• Handle gears carefully and avoid contaminating gear teeth with grease
• Installation may require removing the mixer head or housing and basic hand tools; keep fasteners organized
• Test operation at low speed first and stop immediately if unusual noise or binding occurs
