Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Worm gear failure on my KitchenAid 5 qt "professional" lift bowl mixer.Edward B. • Mount Horeb, WI • January 24, 2020

This was a problem that I'd had previously with this mixer.

After the previous failure (pre-youtube days), I took the machine in for repair. The repair-shop cost came to about $150 in labor. Parts were extra. This time, I decided to do the repair myself, since I figured that I knew what was wrong. I found the appliancepartspros... Read more

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Blower wheel center hub was stripped making lots of noise when the dryer was running as it rattled on the motor shaft, drum belt was wornMichael W. • Vacaville, CA • August 30, 2021

The blower wheel had been previously “repaired,” but the repairman did not install a retaining clip or clamp, so the new part was destroyed in about a year and a half, as the motor shaft rounded all the square edges in the plastic hub. The old blower wheel came off easily and the new part was a perfect fit. The center clamp that comes with the blower wheel kit would probably hold it in place by itself, but I also purchased and installed the retaining clip (#35) as well, because the end of the...
