Description
The Planetary Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This component is responsible for holding the mixer attachments and rotating them around the bowl, ensuring thorough and even mixing of ingredients.
Over time, the planetary assembly can become worn out or damaged due to frequent use, heavy mixing loads, or lack of proper maintenance. If the planetary assembly is not functioning correctly, it can result in poor mixing performance and uneven results.
Symptoms of a bad planetary assembly include:
- Unusual noises during operation
- Attachments not rotating properly or wobbling
- Inconsistent mixing or ingredients not being fully incorporated
- The mixer head not locking into place
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
