Whirlpool WP9709194 Thumb Screw OEM Part

After ordering the speed lever, I watched one of the videos about disassembling the mixer. I followed the instructions pretty much to the letter except I found I spent more time cleaning and air dusting around the motor to get the accumulated flour dust out. The insides of the mixer haven't been touched in 30 years. About the most difficult part of disassembly was the 4 screws holding the mixer head to the stationary base. these screws have beveled cuts designed to lock the screws in place, I had to use a little more force than expected to break them lose. The rest of the disassembly went fine. the lever was easily removed without any disassembly of the internal motor parts and re assembly went very quick. not sure how long it actually took but was certainly less than 15 minutes total. Even with shipping being more than the actual part, it was great to know I was able to do this myself and to avoid the cost of a repair shop. Thanks Appliance Pro's for a great all around experience. I'll be back, but I hope it won't be soon.

I bought a new thumb screw which the price was great and came very quickly. I unscrewed the broken one out and screwed the new one in. Also your website made it easy to find and place my order. Thanks

After locating needed parts from Appliance Parts Pros large parts inventory, I was able to disassemble, install and reassemble our Kitchen Aid appliance in less than 30 minutes. Our Kitchen Aid Appliance is once again working like new!!

So far I have the mixer completely torn apart and all the old grease with metal fragments cleaned out of the mixer. It is now a simple matter of replacing the old gears with the new ones and refilling with new grease. I will do this if I ever get the new worm gear that is lost somewhere in the Fedex system. Appliance parts has sent another one on its way but will be somewhat delayed due to the holiday. Hardest part of this type of repair is to spotlessly clean out all the old grease. I highly recommend doing it though as your new gears will last far longer. This will be my third gear replacement and I always replace all the gears except the lower planetary gear which has only needed replacing once. If you've spent the time, replace them all.

I ordered two parts a Hubcap and a Thumb screw for my KitchenAid and it was really easy to install. I will do business with them again when I need it.
