Customer Questions and Answers for Skate Plate by Whirlpool

Thomas A J, Sr for Model Number 110.22442100

Answer Thomas, There are no "pins" that that go into the skate plate" The skate plate is secured to the bottom of the outer tub and held in position by tub springs and brackets, The skate plate and the washer base have silicone pads that "slide" on each other and allow the tub to move as needed during the spin cycle. If the tub is moving too much, you'll need to separate the plate and the base, and check the pads for damage or excessive wear. But first check for a proper installation and usage. 

Ron for Model Number 110.24732300

Answer Hello Ron. Due to the design of the skate plate 3946509, it can only be installed properly one way. The smooth side goes upward and the textured side goes down toward the floor. 

Jeff for Model Number Roper RAX7245KQ0

Answer Hello Jeff. If you look at the parts diagram and go to number 2, you will see where the springs hook to. The suspension spring goes from the bracket to the frame in the back of the washer. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=263572&diagram_id=28190894 

Rob for Model Number 11092591200

Answer Hello Rob. If the unit is torn down for a complete rebuild, the pins are needed to line up the floater plate. They are not at any thime used during the operation of the washer. Hope this helps. 

Matt for Model Number lxr9245eq1

Answer Hello Matt. You will need to check and see if the suspension spring W10250667 is broke, or has come off. If it is broke, you will need to replace it. Hope this helps.

Answer It is held in place with springs. It is designed to "float". The pins are for setting the plate, then the fall in the cups for future use. Hope this helps.
