The straight on the planet hub assembly of my kenwood Chef A701A has worn, the beater will not turn. Kenwood say this part was redesigned in the 1970's and a replacement is not available. Can anybody help with where to get spare parts or ideas/places to have it repaired ?

You can buy replacements out of the UK but very expensive. I successfully repaired the D shape by having an insert made by an engineering shop.

I have the same problem.you will find that the gear inside the planet hub has collapsed or teeth have stripped.metal gears are available from J.Lydon .Lydonsvacs@hotmail.com You will need to check that the flat on the planet hub drive shaft hole is not badly worn or damaged,if it is then we are both looking for a supplier of a PLANET HUB ASSEMBLEY,mod.A701A
