23-tooth bronze gear for KitchenAid 5K5 series stand mixers. This is the drive gear that meshes with the worm screw of the gearmotor and transmits motion to the planetary assembly, driving the rotation of the attachment (whisk, dough hook, flat beater). It is a wear part and, on many models, it also acts as a safety element: in the event of an overload or a jammed attachment, it fails before the more expensive components, protecting the motor and the main gears.

Technical specifications:

• Outer diameter: 36 mm
• Bore diameter: 9.5 mm
• Number of teeth (Z): 23
• Thickness: 15 mm
• Material: bronze
• Reference: FAMTRI0078

Compatibility / cross-reference codes: gear equivalent to original codes W10112253 / 241803 / 4162897. Suitable for KitchenAid 5K5 series stand mixers and for tilt-head and bowl-lift models fitted with this transmission assembly (e.g. 5KSM, K45SS, KSM150 families). Always check the tooth count, diameter and bore against the original part before purchase.

When to replace it: in case of unusual noise, clicking or slipping while kneading, loss of power at the attachment, or chipped/worn teeth. Replacing it restores correct power transmission and prevents damage to the gearmotor.
