The Retaining Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This small but essential part ensures the stability and secure fitting of various mixer components, contributing significantly to the appliance's overall performance and durability. Its primary role is to hold parts in place, preventing movement that could lead to wear or malfunction during operation.

Stand mixers are subjected to a variety of stresses, particularly when mixing thick doughs or other dense mixtures. The retaining clip's integrity is vital in these situations, as it helps to maintain the correct alignment and functioning of the mixer's moving parts. 

Symptoms of a bad Retaining Clip in a stand mixer include:

• Components such as beaters or attachments becoming loose or detaching during use.
• Unusual vibration or noise 
• Difficulty in attaching or detaching mixer attachments
