How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6800088 / W11200218 Grease

I replaced the part ordered, Grease it properly and it worked. Followed the steps shown in Video 

Replaced just one gear. Works fine. 

Once I found your website and viewed the repair video and read the comments I ordered the repair parts. KitchenAid Repair told me that the mixer was "shot" and I should just go ahead and buy a brand new one with a 10% discount if I ordered right then and there with her. I told her that the mixer has hardly been used and of course it was out of warranty. But once I saw your video and I and very handy with repairs, I decided to go through with the repair myself. I could just imagine what the shipping cost would be to return it to KitchenAid for repair. WOW! Now that I found your company on the internet I will be making ALL of my appliance repairs and parts through you. Thank you so much for being there. I will definitely pass your website on to my other "handy" friends. 

With the IPB and the pictures of each part, it was quite easy. I spent far more time looking for the part on the KitchenAid web site than I did fixing the mixer. Refilling the transmission with grease was a bit messy, but necessary. I want it to last. Many thanks to Appliance Parts Pros. Your web site was easy to navigate and the parts breakdown pages were an immense help. 

Replaced the gear. 

I ordered new gears and replaced them. Easy, now my mixer works great. Back to making bread!! 

After opening up the gear housing, I was able to see that the worm follower gear had the teeth worn off of one side. So I ordered a new gear (the other gears appear to be in great condition), some grease and a metal gear housing (the old plastic one was in good shape but I was trying to head off any future repairs) and then I waited. Oddly, the 3 parts each arrived separately and a week apart but they were all good upon arrival. I put everything back together and I was very generous with the grease, as it turns out I was too generous. I had a hard time getting the new cover to sit down all the way because. it turns out, the grease was trapping air inside the receiver hole at the top of the housing. After removing grease several times, I finally got it to seat properly. Once it was reassembled and turned on with no load, the gears were making a soft, sporadic clicking sound which I now have to diagnose. I saw online that too much grease can keep the gears from seating properly and they won't mesh perfectly.... sooo, I'm guessing my overzealous use of grease has come back to bite me again. We'll see..... 

Used you tube for repair, super easy repair replaced the contaminated grease and center gear, reassembled as per you tube directions anyone with minimum tools can do this. Dealing with the grease is a little messy 

Replaced the worm gear and the attaching gear. The worm gear was stripped the other gear showed wear also. If I had not replaced both gears, the new gear would have accelerated wear due to a mismatch of a good gear with a worn gear. I also noticed that the grease was thicker and less harmful if ingested than regular grease. The only tools required was a #2 phillips screwdriver and C-ring pliers. It was an easy fix. 

The tepair stories online seemed easy. So I took it apart and found a worm gear was stripped out. The parts came in two days and it took me about 15 minutes to put it back together. I bought the gear that drives the worm gear also because it had a little wear. Note that a set of snap ring pliers help
