WP240309-2 240309-2 replaces KitchenAid Replacement Gear

I burned out my old worm gear on some bread dough. This fit my tilt head mixer perfectly and was super easy to install. Remember to buy some food grade grease when you do your replacement!

Our mixer was making a clicking noise and then in the middle of a batch of cookies.... just stopped mixing. The motor was running but the beater wasn't turning. Like so many others, I just assumed the gear had broken and it was an easy fix. I ordered the entire assembly rather than a cheap knock-off figuring if the original lasted 20 years a real replacement should last that long as well. Turns out it wasn't the gear, it was the pin that holds the gear onto the shaft. You can see it's missing from the original part. Because I had this entire replacement unit ready to go it didn't matter that it wasn't the gear. Had I just ordered the gear I would still be without a working mixer. This one fit exactly like the original and the mixer is once again mixing and runs a lot quieter. Appears to be the same quality as the one I took out. Time will tell.

I have an older (~1988) KitchenAid KSM-5 Proline bowl lift model, one of the last of the ones with the Hobart engineering (has the motor brush screws on the side of the mixer head). My unit began to whine and overheat, particularly when I used higher speeds, when mixing a large batch (~1,000g) of bread dough -- perhaps the toughest job one of these mixers is subject to in home use. My dilemma was to repair or replace. After a review of more recent models, I found that an equivalent replacement to my old workhorse, relatively bullet proof KSM-5 model was a KitchenAid KSM-7 Proline, which costs ~$600, but is not as readily repairable. (In the KSM-7, if the motor or drive train gives problems, the whole motor assembly must be replaced, unlike in my KSM-5, individual gears and components can be readily removed and replaced.) Since the one, which I had seemed to be overall of better build and service quality, and is much quieter in operation than KitchenAid 5 qt models commonly available in membership and big box stores, I decided that repair, if possible, was the best course. Though the motor and other features have changed a lot after Hobart sold the KitchenAid line in the early 1900s, this part fit mine perfectly and restored it to almost as good as new operation. Some disassembly and assembly is required to install. Clean out any and all old grease along with any worn bits of metal or plastic from the old gears. Thoroughly repack all the gears in the forward portion of the housing with a heavy grease such as "Food Grade Grease & Gasket by Ohoho - Compatible With Kitchen Stand Mixer," or "Impresa Products 4 Oz Food Grade Grease for Stand Mixer Universally Compatible."

I’ve had my kitchen aid for a few years now and use it religiously! I made the mistake of kneading a hard dough and it busted the whirlpool mixing component. I did research and this is what’s needed. Basically this piece will ruin first before the motor does which we all know that the motor is $$$. This was a huge life saver and saved me from buying a new kitchen aid. Thank you so much for being super affordable and decent shipping!! Don’t buy any knock offs! This is the real deal!

One of the best KitchenAid 4162101 Replacement Gear-Worm parts I have ever installed (actually, the only, so definitely up there!). Part was delivered quickly and was just as described. I installed it in my stand mixer and all seems to work as it should. Good videos on the Internet on how to fix; easy to replace.

Fits correctly and mixer works again

Very happy that I didn't need to spend $100s on a new stand mixer. This was the part that was broken and this item replaced it and made my mixer work again! Good price, great seller, fast shipping, packaged well. 📦

This was only a few bucks more than the cheap gear's you see on Amazon and I got the whole housing so I didn't have to worry about getting the gear out. It fit perfectly, added some food grade grease and put the unit back together and it works great. I still have to test it out on the meat grinder attachment to make sure it holds up to that heavy load so I'll update my review after my final testing but so far so good.

Montato e funziona. Da vedere per quanto dura….

Pièce d'origine, juste la couleur de la roue dentée qui change sinon montage parfait avec graisse food grade. Madame est ravi!

Es ist exakt was ich brauche. Funktioniert super und leicht zu wechseln.
