Replace the metal worm gear with the new plastic one, too. It'll fail 10x more often but when it fails only it fails. When the old metal one fails it'll take the whole machine with it. It's a great example of engineering resiliency into the product.
Edit: and the motor contacts. Those are wear parts.
