How Do You Replace The Gears On A Kitchenaid Mixer?
If you have an older KitchenAid mixer, repairs are a simple matter of gears and grease. That stand mixer is the workhorse it is because it is an old-fashioned machine. No chips or integrated circuits in there. With a few standard tools, anyone with the initiative can fix the gears in a KitchenAid mixer, and a single plastic gear is the one that can make your stand mixer work again like new. Unplug the KitchenAid mixer from the wall. Wrap the plug in a small plastic bag secured with a rubber band to ensure nothing gets on the plug, Remove the two phillips head screws at the back of the mixer to release the metal band that runs around the mixer. Tap gently with the blade screwdriver around the perimeter of the metal ring (KitchenAid calls this a drip cup) until the ring is loosened. As the ring is aluminum and soft, be careful. Carefully and gently, lay the mixer on its side. Remove the four screws underneath the top section of the mixer. Separate the top of the mixer from the stand port
