This lower gearcase housing encloses and supports the planetary and lower gear train in a stand mixer. Replacing a damaged housing restores alignment and helps contain lubrication for quieter, consistent mixing performance.

  • Houses the lower gear train and planetary shaft to maintain alignment
  • Provides a sealed cavity to help retain grease around gears
  • Replaces cracked, stripped, or warped housings that cause wobble or noise
  • Helpful when you see grease seepage or cosmetic damage to the lower case
What's included: One lower gearcase housing in a white finish. Install notes:
  • Unplug the mixer and remove bowl and attachments before service
  • Open the motor head and remove the planetary/gear stack as required
  • Transfer components to the new housing; renew food-grade mixer grease if servicing gears
  • Reassemble and verify beater-to-bowl clearance and smooth operation

Phillip, Yes, there is Grease located in or on the planetary gears and gear case above the lower gear case housing WP9706047. " All KitchenAid Stand Mixer Gearcases are lubricated with 6 Fluid Ounces of:BENALENE 930-2 GREASE (OR EQUIVALENT) NOTE: Gearcases lubricated with this grease will not require lubrication for years." This is a "heavy" thick oil or grease and lasts quite some time. After some time based on usage and age, the oil viscosity changes and can drip from the casing. Whenever the gear case is serviced, the grease should be cleaned out and replaced.
