The Rear Sleeve Bearing is a genuine OEM replacement part suitable for a range of KitchenAid stand mixers, including many five-quart models and all six-quart models. This component serves as a bearing, ensuring the mixer maintains correct alignment during use.

Whirlpool Corporation, which owns brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, manufactures this part. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

It's important to note that the bearing is shipped without lubrication and must be greased prior to installation. The bearing supports the worm gear, allowing it to rotate smoothly, which enhances the mixer's efficiency and extends its lifespan.

For installation, you will need a Philips screwdriver. Always make sure to disconnect the mixer from the power source before beginning the installation to ensure safety.

This rear sleeve bearing is recognized for its high quality and durability, playing a key role in the optimal functioning of your KitchenAid stand mixer.
