FAQs

W10112253 is used in certain stand mixers made under the KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Kenmore brands. Compatibility depends on your exact model number, so the safest match is to confirm that your mixer parts list calls for W10112253 or one of its replacement numbers.
This worm gear is associated with part numbers W10112253, WPW10112253, 4161531, 4162897, 4169830, AP4295669, PS11748374, and WPW10112253VP.
Typical symptoms include the motor running but the beater not turning properly, grinding or skipping under load, intermittent mixing action, or a mixer that struggles when kneading thicker doughs. In many stand mixers, the worm gear is designed to wear before more expensive drive components are damaged.
Worm gears commonly fail from overload conditions such as very stiff dough, repeated heavy batches, or a jammed attachment. Age-related wear and degraded internal grease can also contribute. If the mixer stopped during a heavy mix, inspect the worm gear along with nearby gears and the grease condition inside the gearcase.
For most stand mixers, this is a moderate repair. It usually involves opening the gear housing, removing grease, disassembling the gear train enough to access the worm gear, and then reassembling and regreasing the transmission. Common tools are screwdrivers, a punch or pliers depending on retaining hardware, shop towels, and fresh food-grade mixer grease if the old grease is contaminated or dried out. Many repairs take about 45 to 90 minutes depending on the mixer design and your experience.
Before reassembly, inspect the neighboring gears, gear pins, bearings or bushings, and the planetary drive components for chipped teeth or excess play. Clean out any metal or nylon debris from the old failure, and check the grease condition. If the mixer also has brush-related power issues, inspect the motor brushes separately because a gear replacement will not correct an electrical fault.
