Know before you buy
Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool, ensuring it meets the exact specifications and quality standards of your original KitchenAid component.
This gear is designed as a 'sacrificial' part. By using durable, high-quality plastic, the gear is intended to strip or break if the mixer is overloaded, which prevents the more expensive motor from burning out.
This gear (part number 9706529) is compatible with most 5-quart and 6-quart KitchenAid stand mixers, including the Artisan series. It also serves as a direct replacement for older part numbers 9703543, 1094120, AH774065, EA774065, and PS774065.
Replacing the worm follower gear is a standard repair that most home bakers can perform with basic tools. You will need to open the mixer housing to access the internal gear assembly, so ensure your mixer is unplugged before beginning.
The most common symptom is that the motor runs, but the planetary attachment hub—where your beaters or dough hooks connect—fails to rotate. If you hear the motor whirring but nothing is mixing, the gear has likely stripped.
