• Controls and stabilizes motor/fan speed according to the selected setting
• Modulates power for smooth acceleration and steady operation under load
• Helps resolve issues like erratic/surging speed or operating at only one speed
• Common failure symptoms: won't start, intermittent operation, or speed won't change

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any capacitors to discharge
• Remove the appropriate cover/panel to access the control
• Tag/photograph wiring; transfer connectors one at a time to the new control
• Mount securely, keep wiring clear of moving parts, restore power, and test all speeds

The Groove Pin is an OEM replacment part for Whirlpool stand mixers. Located internally on the planetary beater hub, this cylindrical pin engages a circumferential groove to deliver precise beater movements at varying speeds.

Causes relate to wear from continuous rotating motions, cracking under heavy load pressures, or loosening over extended use. Mineral buildup may also impede smooth functioning.

Symptoms of a problematic groove pin include:

• Whirring noises and vibrations heard during kneading or mixing
• Uneven blending of ingredients around the mixing bowl
• Potential damage to other internal components from pin mobility
