I spent 3 days trying to get the Bolt from hell to loosen. Banging it, manual impact driver, electric impact driver, more banging the bolt top and the flats of the bolt, wd40, rust blaster, more banging. Boiling Hot Water, was the only suggestion I found on YT and Google that Worked!!! First pot of boiling hot water over the Bolt, I finally got it to slightly budge. The seventh pot was the charm, finally continued turning till it finally came out. Happily the Pulsator also lifted out with no further problem. Was getting dark flakes in the washer drum water and could see them more so in the discharge water emptying into the Laundry Sink. Learned from YT/Internet they were probably coming from mold from the underside of the Pulsator and sure enough the underside was caked with the gunk. Used the Power Scrub setting on the Dish Washer, to get it to clean up like new..
Thank you! Mine had so much grime under that blue cap that I couldn't see the splines. Your video pointed me in the right direction.... mine just needed cleaned this time around.
*FYI* Using Thread Lock on bolt will save Headaches AND money. When the bolt works loose it lets the spline in agitator strip making you buy another replacement disc. I shimmed mine with aluminum strips and GREEN thread lock compound after it loosened and stripped within a week of being in the local Maytag repair shop. The repair guy used original bolt and no thread lock compound.
My washer was making a loose and grinding noise, wasn’t spinning the load. I tried the shop vac to the drain line first to make sure it wasn’t a clogged line and sensor issue first. It wasn’t! The metal hex/gear shaped shaft inside the pulsator in mine stripped through the plastic. I used a 13/32 impact bit on my drill. The plastic layer crumbled where the screw goes through. I wanted to try and glue fix it before buying a new part. I tried using about a bottle of loctite superglue to glue the shaft back in there. Didn’t work and it stripped out right away after reinstalling it. It was just floating in there. Ordered a new screw and pulsator for about $95 shipped. FYI these guys charge about the same as Amazon. That’s impressive. I am Praying that the new pulsator and screw do the job. Hoping mine isn’t something worse.
If the old pulsator sticks and is impossible to get out, pour some boiling water into the bolt area an let it set a minute...pops right out without damaging anything.
The fact the author of this video didn't even mention this tip makes me question their actual knowledge on the subject. Disliked! Be sure to use something like a Q-tip to get all the water out of the bolt hole.

@Beth Mahoney once you take off the pulsator plate, unscrew the nut and the drum nut is underneath it. I'm not sure of the nut dimensions but a search should tell you all you need to know. Hope this helps.
No, do not grease the bolt. The grease will get into the wash water and contaminate your laundry, and I don't think you want grease in your wash. The bolt will not rust, but be sure to add a lock washer before reinstalling the bolt, not thread lock as one guy suggested, unless you want thread lock in your wash.
So the bolt broke when we were taking it off. We got the rest of the bolt out but now the hole won’t fit that size bolt anymore. Is there a way to replace all of that?
I've done everything to remove my Maytag Bravos XL washer pulsator (some call it a washer plate)...it won't budge. It raises up about 1/2 inch and seems to hit something, like it's locked in place. I want to check for coins that may be stuck underneath. I don't know what else to try. I tried turning it from side to side, as if it's washing, but it won't move back & forth either.....not sure if that's possible with the power off.
You can buy this part here: www.appliancepartspros.com/samsung-assy-pulsator-hudson-dc97-16977a-ap5622429.html You'll need to confirm that this is the correct part for your model by using the full model number.
Help. The metal part of the bottom of the wash plate is stuck on the washer. I am a single female disabled homeowner. How do I remove it so I can slide the new wash plate on

Are you using the ratchet with the long extension? It can be hard to get the necessary force in such an enclosed space otherwise. If so, you can try soaking it with a penetrating oil like Rust Buster, because it may be corroded.
Sorry about that, Ron! Often times, the parts we're replacing in our videos aren't broken. The repairs we record are meant to serve as examples, and not all parts that need replacing will show visible damage.

Its not easy remove when the machine had 2 or 3 years of use. I cant remove in my wrirpool it is stock.. I see videos and in all show me everything its easy and no. I try all and its stuck.
Use 2 screwdrivers, not just one. Use a criss-cross of your hands...right hand with screwdriver lifts the left side of the agitator while the left hand lifts up on the right.
It would depend on the model. A single part can be compatible with hundreds of different appliances. We film the part on a single appliance model to serve as an example of the repair, so even if your washer looks like the one in the video, it could differ.

@@AequitasSaints I didn't try that but it may work. Let me know how it goes if you have time. The main thing is, the agitator has to come out if you want to do a complete clean, because there's tons of crud and hair and you-name-it under the agitator that does not come out with any type of cleaning that doesn't include taking the agitator out.
For everyone having trouble with their Samsung, take the stupid thing back and demand your money back. It's common knowledge now that these Samsung machines are crap-o-la. There's been several recalls. On our Samsung, the company did a recall because the lid would suddenly explode off and has injured the owners. You'll get a sob story from the company that your machine is too old, or whatever, but don't be fooled. A machine that can't be cleaned or is dangerous MUST be taken back and your money returned. Period.

What size is the bolt? I bought one used and the bolt is missing so the pulsator keeps living and not agitating the clothes.
What is your model number?
Thank you so much for this video!
It was very helpful thank you
does the pusator cause the machine to wash in one direction and the turn and wash in the other direction???

What is the size of that big hex bolt on the bottom of the drum? I tried 35mm socket (too small) and 36mm socket (to big)
They all vary slightly. Have to find the size that fits. My current machine is 10mm

What do you do when you break off that 10 mm bolt that you removed so easily?

So the bolt broke when we were taking it off. We got the rest of the bolt out but now the hole won’t fit that size bolt anymore. Is there a way to replace all of that?

Borrow an impact wrench, the kind tire shops use to take off lug nuts.
