Stand Mixer Lower Bearing

Whirlpool brands encompass Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Whirlpool planetary shaft bearing is an OEM replacement part designed to support and stabilize the planetary shaft in a stand mixer. This component is found in the planetary assembly at the top of the mixer's motor housing. Its main role is to ensure the planetary shaft, which holds the mixer's attachments like the paddle, whisk, or dough hook, rotates smoothly and efficiently. During operation, the planetary shaft bearing helps the attachments move seamlessly within the mixing bowl.

The Whirlpool planetary shaft bearing is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

This part addresses the following issues:

- Unusual noises, grinding, or rattling during operation
- Rough or jerky movement of attachments within the mixing bowl
- Excessive wobbling or instability of attachments during use
