    God, I’m so sick of messing with this washer. I’m so tired of cleaning it and I’m not very handy, so I don’t think I can manage taking it apart. I clean it religiously. What is causing the corrosion on the wheel / arm? Is there a way to prevent it from reoccurring? Have you tried CLR? I’ve read that it’s an easy solution to run it through?

  • @matthewsch12
    @matthewsch12 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This video was a godsend. I tried WD40 and the thing still wouldn't budge. I noticed some of the other comments said to let the tub clean run with the bolt holding the plate either loose or removed. I kept it loose, ran s tub clean for about 10 minutes and after it drained the plate lifted right up. I think a loosening agent and letting it run a little was the trick.

  • @JScaggs21

    Numerous cleaning cycles, CLR, WD-40, baking soda/vinegar, boiling water, compressed air, coat hangers and shoes strings to pull. Nothing will work. I'm going to buy a new washing plate bc I'll have to destroy this one to hopefully remove it. I'd order the win bags but I'm done spending time, money, and energy. Need to wash clothes.

    Thank you. This video helped us so much today! Random question - when we took out the entire drum we could hear water sloshing around inside the rim? Or maybe sloshing around inside the entire thing? Do you know what that is? Does that water cycle through and/or is there a sludgey inside that I missed cleaning?

I decided to take a break, poured more vinegar in the tub and let it sit overnight. The next morning, it popped right off.

    We followed your instructions on your you tube video and it was very helpful to get my washer taken apart to clean it. It definitely needed done. I am still getting brown flakes and junk in the water in the washer. I had watched your video and another video as well. The other video showed when you turn the wash plate over, to where the plastic side is, that there was some black spots inside the plastic part in the corners that could not be cleaned out because of not being able to take that plastic piece apart. Ours has some of the black residue inside that plastic piece as well. I have a feeling that is where the residue is coming from. I am going to order a wash plate but I cannot find the model number for my washer anywhere on my washer. From looking at your video yours looks like your washer might be the same as ours. Could you tell me where the model number is at on yours? I want to make sure I order the correct part. Thank you

      @@GuyTriesDIY I pressure washed the wash plate thoroughly. When I stuck the pressure washer in the drain hole, I let it sit there for a few minutes to push out debris into the drain, then when I removed it more debris did come out into the plastic basket, so maybe from there? Now after reassembling and using clean cycle I still get a little, along with a little sand. But only during the clean cycle (I believe) so maybe if I continue with clean cycle every month, then doing a manual cleaning twice a year I can avoid the problem?

    May I suggest method #8- no special tools or additives needed. Loosen the bolt on top of the wash plate just slightly but do NOT remove it. Then just put your machine in wash cycle. The strong back and forth movement of the wash plate will loosen it naturally. I used my machine for a few days in this way. Finally I removed the bolt for another wash cycle and as the water was filling up, the wash plate just floated right off.

    I had a similar issue and couldn't remove the plate. I tried several methods, including WD40 and pulling it with a wire inserted in the three holes, among others. Finally, I purchased CLR and poured it with hot water, letting it sit for 2 minutes. I attempted to pull the wash plate again, but it didn't budge. Then, I ran a short washing program to clear out the CLR, and within less than 2 minutes, the plate came off by itself! I believe the combination of efforts contributed to this result, but I trust that CLR worked in my case. Good luck to everyone facing the same problem. Moving forward, I plan to do a deep cleaning with 2 cups of washing soda and 2 cups of borax every 3 months. Hopefully, it will help keep it clean!
