Cap Hub covers and protects the appliance's hub, restoring a finished appearance and helping keep debris away from internal components. Use when the original hub cap is cracked, missing or visibly worn. What it does:

• Covers and conceals the drive/tub hub for a finished look.
• Helps keep lint and debris away from the hub area.
• Replaces cracked, broken or missing hub caps that expose the hub.
• Check the model-specific diagram for exact fit and orientation.

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any service.
• Part typically snaps or presses into place; the appliance's exploded diagram for the correct removal/replacement procedure.
• Do not force the part; inspect surrounding components and replace any damaged mounting hardware as needed.

Upgrade or replace your mixer's paddle with this coated flat beater in Silent Silver. It restores smooth, even mixing performance for everyday recipes and is designed in the narrow profile specified for select stand mixers.

• Blends ingredients thoroughly for batters, doughs, and mashed mixtures
• Direct replacement for a beater that is bent, chipped, peeling, or missing
• Narrow profile mates correctly with the intended mixer hub style

• Unplug the mixer before attaching or removing the beater
• Tilt the head up or lower the bowl; align the beater slot with the shaft pin, push up, and twist to lock
• Clean and dry per the manufacturer's care instructions before first use

This is a 10-24 x 1/2 inch machine screw used to secure temperature probes, thermistor brackets, shields and drawer/box components. It provides a simple, reliable fastener for small appliance assemblies. What it does:

• Secures probe or thermistor brackets to the appliance chassis or housing
• Holds shielding or small drawer/box parts in place to prevent movement or rattling
• Helps maintain correct sensor positioning so temperature readings stay stable
• Common replacement when a stripped, corroded, or missing screw causes loose parts or vibration

• One 10-24 x 1/2 in. screw

• Use the matching 10-24 threaded hole; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping or cracking nearby plastic
• If replacing a corroded screw, inspect mating threads and components for damage before reuse
• Turn off and unplug the appliance or disconnect power before accessing internal components

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor torque through the drive system to enable the washer's agitation and/or spin functions. Replacing a worn planetary restores reliable rotation and reduces noise caused by damaged gears. What it does:

• Drives the washer's agitator/drum by transferring motor power through the gear train
• Restores normal agitation and spinning when worn gears cause slipping or no movement
• Stops or reduces grinding, knocking, or unusual gear noise originating from the gearbox
• Works as the internal gearset inside the transmission/gearcase to maintain proper drivetrain operation

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet or transmission cover; follow OEM service instructions
• Support the drum/transmission and use appropriate tools to avoid further damage

This gearcase transfers motor power to the wash tub and agitator, restoring normal agitation and spin cycles for top-load washing machines. Replaces a worn or failed transmission assembly to recover wash performance. What it does:

• Converts motor rotation into the low-speed/high-torque motion needed for agitation and the higher-speed motion for spin
• Restores normal agitation and spinning when a washer fails to move or completes cycles poorly
• Reduces grinding, clunking, or slipping noises caused by worn internal gears
• Helps stop leaks of internal gear lubricant when the seal or housing is compromised

• One gearcase assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off water before starting; follow the washer service manual for safe disassembly
• Gearcase replacement may require removal of the inner tub, drive coupler, and mounting hardware—have basic hand tools ready
• Inspect surrounding seals, gaskets, and mounting bolts; replace any damaged components to prevent leaks

The Transmission Housing is an OEM part for Whirlpool mixers. This component encases the transmission, which is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the mixing attachments. The housing ensures the transmission is protected from external damage and maintains the alignment and stability of internal components.

Over time, the transmission housing can become compromised due to regular use, exposure to food and moisture, or accidental impacts. Damage to this part can lead to misalignment, which affects the performance of the mixer.

Symptoms of a bad transmission housing include:

• Unusual noises during operation
• Mixing attachments not spinning properly
• Visible cracks or damage to the housing
• Leaking grease from the transmission area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

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

• 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

This gearcase is the main transmission assembly that transfers motor torque to the washer's tub and agitator, restoring normal agitation and spin performance when the original gearcase fails. What it does

• Converts motor rotation into the gear reductions needed for agitation and spin cycles.
• Commonly replaced for symptoms like no agitation, slow or failed spin, grinding or clunking noises during cycles.
• Contains internal gears and bearings that can wear or break, causing irregular movement or loss of drive.
• Works with the washer's motor coupling and drive components to re-establish reliable drum motion.

• One gearcase (transmission) assembly.

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair.
• Support the washer cabinet and tub when removing the old gearcase to avoid damage or injury.
• Gearcase assemblies are heavy and contain grease—expect some lubricant exposure; clean hands and work surfaces after installation.
• Use model-specific service manual or exploded parts diagram for proper alignment and reassembly; replacement may require transfer of seals or mounting hardware.

This threaded nut is a genuine fastener used to secure appliance components and restore proper attachment. It replaces worn or missing hardware to stop loose parts and help the appliance function safely. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and assemblies to prevent rattling or movement
• Restores proper thread engagement for stable mechanical connections
• Prevents components from working loose during operation
• Useful when replacing stripped or missing nuts that cause vibration or misalignment

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Match nut thread size and type to the mating bolt or stud before installation
• Tighten with the correct socket or wrench; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads
• Replace any damaged mating hardware for a secure fit
