Question

Planetary Drive head keeps falling out during use

At some point the planetary drive head started wanting to just drop off (fall) - like, into the mixing bowl) when operating the mixer. Why does that happen? Does something need to be replaced? Did a clip or retainer disappear? I could epoxy that drive head to the vertical shaft (the one that sticks down with MANY tiny long teeth along the shaft, but that might affect repairability long term.


Answer

quinn47 , If part not available for some reason. Just a thought! If possible and you have no alternative, is it possible to drill a hole, then thread hole and use a set screw to keep the piece in place when using and still be removable when need be. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
