BEA30AEAIM0 Whirlpool Mixer - Instructions

I took apart the mixer housing and removed all the screws. The most difficult part was the two pins that needed to be removed with a metal punch. They were in fairly tight. The mixer came apart pretty easily and it was obvious which part needed to be replaced as it was broken and missing teeth. After replacing the gear and applying new grease for smooth operation, I simply put it back together and it has worked like new ever since.

The new part was too large for the replacement job, but we used the self tapping screws that came with the mixer and screwed them in from the bottom to open the holes a little more since the original screws were to short to hold the new plate. Then we replaced the screws with longer screws and that seemed to do the trick!

I watched a short video on replacing the worm gear, although I did not know what the problem was until I watched the video. after the video ended I took the mixer apart and found the problem located a parts number an placed my order. got the part in one week put in the new part in about 20 minutes and it work like new. and the price was very reasonable

Followed your instructions from the internet and it was a simple fix. Mixer works great again. Thank You ..you made it easy!

Simply removed damaged gears. Very simple to do. Ordered gears. Replaced gears. Both working well ( so far. ) Machines are easy to dismantle. Just be sure to put the screws back in the holes you took them out of when dismantling...no lost screws. On the smaller model, took pictures of the wire positions to be sure they were replaced in the proper order. Larger model had no wires to remove.

The shield works sufficiently. Note that the shield is not a continuous circle as shown in the picture. This actually can be an asset because it can be installed or disassembled without stopping the mixer of having to lift the head while running.

I watched the university of YouTube videos, and followed their instructions.

I did exactly what the PartSelect video demonstrated after watching other DIY videos on the Internet, thus I did not remove the stand which seemed like a little too much for a simple straight forward repair. This is the second time I have replaced this gear. The first time was about 10 years ago when the bakelite gear broke on a 30 year old KitchenAid K
-45. That mixer made hundreds of loaves of bread after grinding many pounds of wheat berries. The only reason we had to replace it was that it walked off the flour dusted counter and landed on its head when my wife had her back turned. Otherwise we would still be using it. :-)
Thanks for the excellent service and instructions.

Removed the rear cover to inspect the speed board. Replaced motor brushes and noticed the motor body nuts were loose and 1 was completely off. Cleaned up speed board and replaced the motor body nuts, tightened with nutdriver, adjusted speedboard governor screws and with new motor brushes worked like a charm. The very rough sounding motor noise was gone and the mixer has not operated so quietly ever.

You tube has great instructions! I would suggest when you buy a part to let customer know that they need a food grade gear grease ordered to complete the reinstall of all gears and body parts!

Dismantled the mixer, took photos, and re-assembled unit.

Unscrewed the existing screw cap, put the new one in place, replaced the screws. So easy!

With a screw driver remove the screws holding the old base in place. With a flat head screw driver carefully pry and remove old mixer base. With 600 grit sandpaper clean and make smooth any burrs or rough spots in the mixer base recessed area. You can use some light grease and coat the outer edges of new mixer base and place in the now cleaned mixer base recessed area. The new base maybe a tight fit and not be fully seated in the recess. If a tight fit, place the piece of 2x4 piece of wood over the new part that is in the recess and carefully tap the base home using the sledge hammer. Check to see, if the base is fully seated. If not fully seated, tap again When fully seated replace the screws. You may have to adjust the height of the stand mixer head with mixer paddle attached for proper clearance between bowl and paddle. See your mixer manual for adjustment procedure

Took each area apart. Replaced the gear and reassembled it.

I replaced the phase control board because the mixer had only
one speed and was surging. I noticed from other posts that it
is important to note the setting of the speed plate before you
remove it in order to remove the phase control board. Also be
careful removing the associated 'slip-on' terminals as it would
be easy to damage the speed plate. If I ever do this again I
will go ahead and replace the speed plate, probably the cheapest
item to replace. The operation was a success and the mixer is
back in business. Thanks.
