WP240309-2 240309-2 replaces KitchenAid Replacement Gear

works great

Perfect fit for my Artisan mixer.Comes dry, you will have to grease it yourself. Easy to drift out the pin when it's clean and new and not already mounted in the mixer. Grease both sides of the washers, pack the gear teeth with grease, grease the shafts and their holes. Put it back together using a finishing nail to line things up at the pin hole, then gently tap the drift pin in until centered. Mount it to the mixer, then coat it with lots more grease. I learned the hard way that you're better off with a factory part and not a knock off, and you absolutely want the proper kind of black grease not the white food grade grease ever.

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. 📦

perfect fit.

was disappointed when the mixer stopped spinning. A little googling led me to buy this part.If you're handy, it's not too big of a job to change, but for sure google the instructions, how the kitchen aid mixer comes apart is not intuitive.Not happy the the bull gear is made from plastic, but I guess you have to make one part as the weak link, to protect all the other parts. Anyhow, with the new part installed, all is well, mixer is back in action.

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."

This gear made swapping the broken gear so easy! It took my husband maybe 30-40 minutes to take the mixer apart, put this new gear in and put everything back together. The hardest part is making sure all your screws are organized. I am a so happy to have a working mixer again! IF this hear we’re to wear out again (and it could I use my mixer pretty often) I’d buy this again.

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!
