Hi Guy! This is super helpful, my washer looks just like yours. I’m looking to clean the white plastic bin starting at 12 minutes, but am not sure how the drain the water and rinse it out before putting the drum back in. How did you do it? Thanks I’m advance!
I tried all those and it’s still stuck
Why not just put some bleach on it.
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?
I'm losing my damn mind over this video it is so funny and helpful. I feel like I know exactly how to completely take my washing machine apart and put it back together and I have the engineering savvy of a 6 year old. Someone please PLEASE stop me 😂
just a question, why does the washing machine make a hum when it puts water in, is it because of the weak flow of water from the tap? Advance thanks for your answer😊😊😊hope u reply i really need to know plssss😣
Yes it could be due to that. Can check the water supply hoses and water pressure in the home.
Thanks! Some 20 year old CLR did the trick for me. That was so frustrating. Thanks for the tips! Now I'm back to look for how to take out the tub. It seems just as stuck, though it's currently soaking in CLR.
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.
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.
Sounds look like the right choice in your case but be careful!
How to prevent this from happening again
Use less detergent don’t overfill, once a month or more use these cleaner pods Active Washing Machine Cleaner Pods: amzn.to/3P5F89h
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?
You’re welcome that is normal to have water in the drum mine had it too
My wash plate was stuck. I used gorilla brand duct tape across tge top, with enough slack in the center to slip my hand under. Lifted out easily.
Nice!
Omg you are a god sent. 2 days trying to figure it out and a thousand videos.until I found this video. Thank you bruh lol
Awesome thank you!
@@GuyTriesDIY I honestly couldn’t have done it without the help of ure video.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Started getting these flakes and didn’t realize how widespread the issue was. Thought I’d ruined the washer and would need to get a new one or pay for some repairs
Awesome!
I can’t even get the 🤬 bolt out
Hey. Are you using a 10mm socket wrench or drill bit ?
Use impact driver, drill didn't work
I still cannot get mine off!!!!
What have you tried? Did you try CLR? That’s what did to for me
@@GuyTriesDIYI tried rust dissolver. Over night too
I am unable to remove the center bolt. I tried with 3/8" nut driver which is smaller for the bolt. Then I tried 7/16" which seems bigger. Which size am I suppose to use?
He says in the video that it's a 10mm socket.
Hey I used a 10 mm socket wrench or 10mm drill bit. Just make sure if using drill to do a low setting to loosen it and then can use a wrench if need to
@GuyTriesDIY I'd highly recommend a cordless impact for this as well.
Great detailed video. Thank you! The center bolt to remove pulsator broke off the thread and is stuck now. Tried many things to remove the broken bolt with no luck. Any ideas to replace the part to which pulsators center bolt screws? Thanks!
Still cannot get mine off
Did you try CLR?
I quit
What have you tried so far?
Method with CLR worked perfectly for me. Try it out!
Ah the missing 10mm socket 😂
We’ve all been there 😆
Oh I had a socket set but it was in my tool box behind all types of stuff( redoing our basement). So I told my wife I needed a new set anyways 😊 and went to the hardware store.

Thanks for posting, but the 6 bolts on the wheel are hard to get off. I had to use a piece of pipe to gain more leverage, but if you have an impact drill like him, that should work best.
Glad you got them off!
Great video, thanks very much! I soaked the bottom of the tub in vinegar, waited an hour - no luck. I then used 3 portions of a wire hangar with hooks bent into them and hooked into the three holes in the center. No luck. Ran a Tub Clean cycle. No luck. I decided to take a break, poured more vinegar in the tub and let it sit overnight. The next morning, it popped right off.
Awesome!
You saved me so much frustration, thank you!
Thanks!
Every single video “mine comes out easily” fuck all these vids 😂
Oh trust me it took a while at first. This was was a replacement
Great video!! Do you know if that part would fit the WT7150CW? The part number I’m looking for is AGZ72909713
Hey I’m not sure I’d try looking up on the Lg website. There is a few different wash plates and caps
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
I will check and let you know
It is WT7300CW
my airbags won't go don't far enough. The video you linked is a different machine and doesn't even show how they did it.
Just what I needed! Thank you.
You’re welcome!
I wish I could figure out how to get that metal wheel at the bottom out (the hub). I have the right socket (38mm) but with the wheel turning it’s very tough to get enough force to turn it. Cleaned with a pressure washer and a brush within an inch of its life but still getting debris after cleaning cycle.
Ah yes that is concerning and you’re sure the debris is not coming from the wash plate ?
@@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 2024 Ran across your 1st video. • Very helpful. • you asked for tip, 'a little less talk more Video'. • you helped me know what to Expect. > How do you get stuck plate out if stuck?
Thanks!
Where does the washer nut go on the bottom putting agitator in or on top with screw ?
Which timestamp are you at?
Tried the mallet, boiling water, soaking in vinegar, wd40, hooks through the holes and it wouldn’t budge. Then ran a short cycle and in 5 minutes it floated right off! I’d advise to keep an eye on it so you can pause the cycle as soon as it comes off & remove it before the spin kicks in. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks!
Thank you. It’s just what I needed.
Glad I could help!
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.
Thanks!
I had to purchase a new agitator plate, previous one was stuck on there on big time. Cleaned it a few times but still getting debris
Hate these things!
previous commentor. remove spider with 2 flat blade nail pullers or 2 claw hammers. remove agitator turn bolt out 3 turns and pry across bolt and and edge of hole. harbor freight cheap bearing puller for this and big nut. silacone grease all parts replaced.
air bags great idea.. hot water and soft hammer. tap 100 times. tap top and sides be patient. hooks great... screws and slide hammer.. put vaseline or silacone grease on all threads and binding surfaces for next time. my big fight was with the spider.
My pulsator/washplate is significantly stuck to the drive shaft!!! Can I use WD-40 or olive oil or similar to get it loose? I've tapped and pried... Obviously, I don't want to introduce clothes staining, but cannot get it out (without damaging the pulsator, I fear).
Yes you can try wd-40 or CLR. CLR worked for me I had it in there for 30 seconds and it came off. Check out my other video I posted it has different things you can try.
Mine would not budge. I poured one pot of boiling hot water, waited about 30 mins, then started a normal wash with hot water and about 3 minutes into the wash, it popped right out!!!
Awesome!
excellent brain
Ooo do the drain filter next!
I don’t believe this has a drain filter, no?
These are a bane on washing machines as a whole!
Yes very bad design!
I can’t get the 6 bolts out of the very bottom to pull the drum out! I’ve tried many different tools. Including socket wrench. Can’t get these things to budge!
Have you tried a drill with a drill bit that fits the bolt? That’s what I used in the video. That should do the trick
This is a commercial for never buying another HG washer again. Mine is doing the brown flakes. Terrible product!
Great video! Thanks for the help! Wish I could’ve seen how dirty it was originally and then get a satisfying after picture!😂
Thank you!
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!
Thanks for sharing! Yes the CLR is what did it for me too!
This video finally helped me get ours off. The WD40 + lightly tapping with a rubber mallet did it. I used some old weed Wacker string to route around the holes and pulled while lightly tapping.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
IF YOUR WASHER HAS A SANITARY OR SANITIZE CYCLE USE IT TO UNSTICK THE WASH PLATE. I INTERRUPTED THE CYCLE AFTER ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS JUST TO PEEK AND FOUND THAT THE WASH PLATE WAS FLOATING IN THE TUB( l had removed the center bolt/screw). You might have to let yours run the complete cycle. It’s definitely worth a try 😊
Thanks for the suggestion
Great video. It helped tremendously 👍🏽
Thank you!!
