1 Answer D, the 1 lb of grease W11200218 should be enough to apply both mixers with grease as a minimum of at least 6 oz is needed for one. Read More...
Rich R May 14, 2020 for Model Number KSM90PSGR is there a video on changing the gear grease? how much do I need? do you add grease just to the gears where the case gasket is or do you also need grease added else where? Thanks in advance Rich
1 Answer Rich, Grease is only added to where the gears are. It is very important to remove all the old grease. Watch the video of this part replacement WPW10112253. It isn't just about the grease but tells quantity and reassembly. Read More...
L January 14, 2020 for Model Number K45SSWH I need to remove the top cover so I can replace grease. The instructions suppled by appliance parts covers 16 steps. Step # 3 says to tap pin out of pin hole. I can see no pin or hole to tap it out of. My mixer is somewhere between 20 and 25 years old.
1 Answer L, the pin that the step may be talking about would be the hinge pin that is connecting the motor assembly to the pedestal. The steps will be as follows: 1. Remove the back motor cover. 2. Remove the trim band. 3. Set the unit upside down to loosen the hinge pin set screw located in the neck of the pedestal. 4. Tap pin located at where the neck of the pedestal meets the motor (around 2" above the end of the pedestal neck while it is upside down). 4. Remove the drip ring by gently tapping it. 5. Remove the groove pin holding the planetary to the vertical shaft center (located at the center of the assembly that the mixer attachments connect to). 6. Use two screwdrivers to pry the planetary off from the center shaft. 7. Remove the screws holding the inner gear and bottom housing. Then use a drift punch to lift up on the center shaft while using a flathead screwdriver in one of the gearcase slots. Read More...

Frank E November 06, 2014 for Model Number KSM150PSER0 My Kitchenaid stand mixer has developed a grease leak at the top output shaft, my attachments are greasy when I take them off the mixer. I thought it has to be a bad grease seal but I don't see one in the schematic, any suggestions?
1 Answer Frank, The unit would not need a seal, you would want to refill the planetary grease as over time will break down and thin out. Read More...
Steph June 27, 2014 for Model Number kg25h7xsl5 My gears are not turning on my mixer. I am going to replace the worm gear, but am wondering what to do with the grease. Do I need to clean out all of the old grease and replace with new? How much new do I put in, and how often do you recommend changing out grease. I use my mixer a lot. Thanks!
1 Answer Steph, Yes, you'll want to remove all the old, original grease from the gears and shafts. You'll want to replenish the grease using at least 6 oz. of grease. The W11200218 is a high grade synthetic, food grade, lubricant and needs to be used for longevity and food safety. There is no specific lubrication schedule, only as needed when servicing the mixer during a repair procedure. Read More...
