Pops October 01, 2020 for Model Number KP26M1XER Replaced a worn worm follower last year that was sacrificed as it is designed to do. I replaced the worm gear also because it showed a little wear. In a very short time the mixer began to slip again. This time the worm gear was completely destroyed and the follower was not even marked. Are there parts out there that are not heat treated correctly and being sold ? have you had anyone else experience this problem? The follower should be the part to get the wear and fail first. I also used a food grade compliant grease. Thanks
1 Answer Pops, We are not aware of any known issues with a new worm gear having issues. If everything is lined up properly there should not be an issue with the worm gear getting damaged. Read More...

Sarah April 09, 2015 for Model Number Kitchen mixer pro 600 I took my mixer apart and discovered that the worm follower gear was stripped. I ordered a new one but it will not slide down the shaft. It gets stuck maybe halfway. Does this mean the shaft is defective and I need a new planetary? Thanks!
1 Answer Sarah, You will want to double check to make sure that you received the correct part and then if you did then check the planetary shaft to make sure that there are no burrs or anything on shaft that would cause the follower to go all the way down. If the shaft is oblonged then the planetary would need to be replaced otherwise just clean off any burrs that may be on it. Read More...
Santo January 19, 2015 for Model Number 9705695 9703310 RDC 2 Mixer works fine until you slight pressure then it skips I took the machine apart and did not find any gears chipped but the worm gear would move slightly enough to gear jump enough to clicl clik and not turn beater
1 Answer Santo, With the issue that you are having you will want to make sure that the pins are in position for the gears and if necessary replace the worm gear. Read More...
Joe December 27, 2014 for Model Number K26m1xer I replaced the worm gear follow gear. Machine max a lot of noise in all speeds. When installing the worm gear, is there a special way too align the bushings into the casting?
1 Answer Joe, No, there is no "special way to align the bushings" just make sure they are oriented correctly front and back and the thrust bearing is installed properly. Are you sure the noise is from the worm gear, and not from one of the other gear clusters ? And do you have plenty of lubrication in the gear case and transmission? Read More...
Thomas May 27, 2014 for Model Number KP2671X I have a Kitchenaid 6Qt mixer model KP2671X with serial beginning with WL38. I have taken the mixer apart and am in the process of sourcing parts. My motor has an 8 tooth gear and a 53 tooth worm gear. In my mixer the worm follower has failed. I am wanting to replace all the gears while I am in there but I am having difficulty finding the 53 tooth worm gear as everyone has the 60 tooth replacement. Do you have the 53 tooth replacement? The part you keep telling people is the replacement is 9706529, which is the follower gear. I need a part like 3854320 but one with 53 teeth on the round gear instead of 60. to my knowledge the spiral on the gear has stayed the same and the worm follower is the same also.
Hans U. April 03, 2014 for Model Number KitchAid Stand Mixer, KP2671 Do you have the drive gear that fits in the old machines, meaning the 8-tooth version? Your part number may be AP3854320, but that one won't work if it is for the newer 10-tooth models, and I cannot tell from the photos and diagrams.
1 Answer Hans, The WP9709231 10 tooth gear is the factory substitute replacement part and should fit and work in your mixer. However the 8 tooth gear W11086780 is available at this time. Either part should fit and work in your mixer. Read More...

Joe November 23, 2013 for Model Number kp2671xgr This mixer has two problems . 1st is that when you move the speed control knob nothing happens until you jiggle it. 2nd is when the mixer is on and comes in contact with resistance the motor just hums but if you lower the bowel it will spin.
1 Answer Hello Joe. Based on the information you need to order part numbers WP9703571 and 9705504. The speed control has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Read More...
