Planetary - 6 Quart mixer

The Planetary Assembly is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool stand mixers. It comprises the central drive shaft and gears which power the whisk, dough hook, and other mixing attachments.

Smooth rotation from the planetary assembly is vital for thorough and consistent mixing. Over extended use, friction from ingredients and wear on parts like gears and bushings can degrade performance.

Symptoms of a faulty assembly include noisy or jittery mixing movements along with inconsistent mixing speed consistency. Without smooth rotation, blending powders, whisking eggs, or kneading dough become inefficient.
