The Hinge Pin is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This part allows the tilt head of the stand mixer to pivot smoothly, enabling easy access to the mixing bowl and attachments. The hinge pin ensures that the tilt head remains securely attached while providing stability during operation.

Symptoms of a bad hinge pin include:
- Difficulty in raising or lowering the tilt head
- Tilt head not locking into place properly
- Unusual wobbling or instability during mixing
- Squeaking or grinding noises when adjusting the tilt head
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
