You are the only video I could find that shows the wash plate splines. All the other videos pass over after they remove this and never reference it. Thanks for confirming where the issue may be for this. I need a washplate.
Your video was very helpful to me to making a grinding sound and wash plate is spinning very freely and makes the same noise like yours but now I know what the problem is. Thank you for your help. Awesome video.👍
My agitator stopped working on same model so I started with the wash plate which ended up being ok, your video helped me with removing my old one but I ended up damaging it , so I got a new one and replaced it in its entirety.. however my agitator still won’t spin , could it be the belt that needs changing or does the agitator work independently from the drum ?
If it’s not your wash plate, check your transmission shaft. The transmission shaft could be worn out causing the wash plate to not grip to the transmission, if that’s the case, you will have to replace the transmission. Hope this helps in your situation
@@littygangster1885 I forgot to mention I did change both the wash plate and the part that is attached to the shaft that the wash plate attaches to . Which is why I am asking if it could be the capacitor.
If you have changed the transmission and/or the wash plate, check the Lid Switch/Lock, actuator, and the motor. Or check the tub of obstruction. I recommend testing the parts with a multi meter. If the parts show good, you can also try recalibrating the washer
I have replaced the agitator part 3 years ago, and I have to again now in 2023. I have a whirlpool and I’m trying to figure out how to keep it from stripping the metal out of the agitator. My wife and I discovered we would have been better off with an actual agitator and not the impeller type, we need that more aggressive agitator for our work and day to day clothes.
Lighter loads will extend the life of the splines. Also, if you don’t inspect the splines on the agitation motor and they’re worn out also (which most likely they are) then it’s going to be a whacky fit with the new wash plate and decrease the life therefore causing you to replace the parts sooner.
@@jamilcheng I tried explaining that to my wife before she had a quote from a Sears rep. He quoted over $800 to fix it. The washer originally cost us around $600 brand new. I bought an LG that has the agitator like the old school washers we grew up with and we absolutely love it! Once we bought the new one, I stripped the old one down and low and behold, we would’ve had to replace the motor which was not in the quote because the splines were shot on the motor. LG has a much better line of washers and dryers which are much easier to fix and don’t have the cheap splines like the whirlpool brand.
Is it possible it is the capacitor? The spin cycle works but the agitator is not working, the videos I watched showed that might be the issue.. thanks again
Mine was loose and spinning. The splines were rusty. Why wouldn't Kenmore make it from stainless steel if it's under water all the time? Splines were all chewed up from spinning so loose and from rust. Was staining my clothes. I fixed it once thanks to this video, but it rusted and came loose again few yrs later.
my problem is that my wash plate floats up if i have a small amount of clothes washing. i can go push is back down and it will keep agitating only to float back up again. so i can only wash large loads to keep it help down. does anyone have any answers or videos
Mine won't move. Been having problem with washer stopping and takes several times to restart and stops before finally pushing drain and spin to get water out.. not sure is it is even getting through the wash cycle. Nut is removed and wash plate is stuck. Tried prying and screwdrivers. Nothing!

The 3 air bag trick works fast and easy.
What? 5 minutes of blank video for you to find the tools, then no video on how you used the hooks. Please redo.
Exactly. Still don't know how to get a fused wash plate off. But I had a seizure from the camera work. Would donate to shoe fund anyway.

80 likes with 14k views is a crime. you certainly helped me so thank you
Thanks for making the video. I have a similar issue except the bolt just keeps spinning with the plate below even when I hold the drum any ideas?
What is the splines are still there but there's a lot of grease around?

@@kristopheryoung9503 splines on the motor driveshaft also are worn on mine.

Had this same problem, got the plate off. Whh h at is the spine you’re referring to?
All that you need to do is in the center where you took screw out. Get a set of plyers and pull up. The part where the 3 ridges meet in the middle.
Use a vise grip on one side and a 45 degree pick on the other side and it will lift out with a little pull if you have one that is sticking
That bolt on ours is super tight, we feare we might strip it! How would you remove it?
I used an impact wrench. It came right off.
We used an impact drill too.
Had to use a lot of downward pressure while engaging the impact drill.
@@Harrboyu lucky sum beetch. Mine won't come off even with an impact driver. Maybe I should be more aggressive with it.
Was the bad wash plate causing the washing machine to move around?
We tried impact wrench, the correct size cup doesn’t quite grip it, we afraid we will strip the bolt!
Thanks for the video

Replace the hub to will give more live to that washer/ laundry tech for 20 years 👍
What is the hub?
You can use the shoe lace trick to get the wash plate off

Does this help if the washer isn’t agitating? Mine is making the grinding noise and it is not agitating the clothes at all
It's ur gear case (transmission)
Is the wash plate supposed to move at all? Ours is very stuck and won't move during the wash or when we try to move it.
@@mermer9575 yes, it was.
Nice vid! Does the unit need to be recalibrated?
I believe it does. The channel Bearded Appliance Repair shows how in one of his vids.
I can’t budge the bolt 😩
Mine keeps coming loose what is wrong
Too much camera movement... got to go throw up...
Actually there is a safer way to do it..
What the hell happen to the video?
Mine won't even move. Getting irritated with it.
Is it Agitating you?
Mine won't move. Been having problem with washer stopping and takes several times to restart and stops before finally pushing drain and spin to get water out.. not sure is it is even getting through the wash cycle.
Nut is removed and wash plate is stuck. Tried prying and screwdrivers. Nothing!
I try to support videos, but this one I can’t.
Bro? I want my money back.
Thanks for wasting my battery.
Grab the middle and pull up
Lol..
Edit much?
This video is horrible.
