The pulsator itself is a disk with a few short paddles and holes that sits at the bottom (or back) of your washer. During a wash cycle, the pulsator spins and turns, creating a cyclone effect in the water. Clothes are then cleaned by moving through the wash and rubbing against each other. The result is a wash cycle that puts less stress on your clothes.\r\n\r\nPulsators leave more room for more laundry in the wash and are generally gentler on your clothes. They are great for lighter and more delicate fabrics. Your laundry is less likely to stretch out, wear thin, or tear in a washer with a pulsator, though you may find on some models that your clothes are more likely to tangle up. The pulsator's softer touch does mean that it will take longer than a more aggressive agitator to get your clothes completely clean, particularly if your laundry is heavily soiled. If you have a high efficiency appliance, be sure to look through the user guide to get the cleanest laundry the first go around.\r\n<h2>Signs Of A Broken Pulsator<\/h2>\r\nDamage to your washer\u2019s pulsator may be as obvious as cracks or dents on the component\u2019s surface, but breaks and other issues may not always be so plainly visible. Often, the interior of the pulsator or the splines in the central shaft can be damaged by debris slipping through the cracks \u2013 change left in pockets, for example \u2013 or through corrosion caused when too much detergent is used. On high efficiency appliances, using too much detergent can seriously damage things. To extend the life of your appliance and its components, make sure you are always using the correct amount!\r\n\r\nIf the pulsator isn\u2019t moving, if the washer is making strange noises when it runs, or if you\u2019re having trouble getting the washer to drain, check around the sides to see if anything is wedged in the seam. Spare change and folded up paper can get stuck in the crack between the washer and the pulsator, locking it up and stopping it from spinning. Take care when removing any debris you do find. You don\u2019t want to damage the washer. If it\u2019s really wedged in place, it may be easier to remove the pulsator than trying to pry whatever is stuck out.\r\n\r\nIf the seam is clear and you\u2019re still having issues, you can also try cleaning the pulsator per your appliance\u2019s instructions, usually with heated white vinegar. You may have to remove the pulsator to do this, so be sure to check it and the parts beneath it for signs of damage when you do. If, after cleaning, your washer still isn\u2019t working right, it\u2019s time to replace that pulsator.\r\n<h2>Finding The Right Replacement Pulsator<\/h2>\r\nFor the most part, all pulsators look about the same, but brand-to-brand pulsators can be made of different materials, have slightly different sizes, or require different mounting hardware. For best results, you should opt for a genuine OEM part when replacing your washer\u2019s pulsator. Purchasing a replacement part that was made by the appliance\u2019s original manufacturer ensures a perfect fit, and when you\u2019re dealing with something that can be as messy as a washer, that exact sizing matters.\r\n\r\nUse your washer\u2019s model number below to find the part you need at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\">AppliancePartsPros.com<\/a>. When you buy from us, you should get your part in just a few days, and you\u2019ll know it\u2019s been sourced direct from the manufacturer!\r\n\r\nYou can find the model number either in the appliance\u2019s manual or on a label somewhere on the appliance itself. Check behind the washer door, either along the wall of the front panel or on the door itself, for a sticker that lists this information. You may also find the washer\u2019s model number behind the kickplate or front access panel.\r\n<h2>How To Replace A Washer Pulsator Assembly<\/h2>\r\nFor this guide and the video walkthrough, we replaced the pulsator on a Samsung top-loading washing machine. This is a quick and extremely straightforward job, so even if you have a different brand of appliance, you\u2019ll find that the steps are fairly similar. If any of our steps don\u2019t line up with your washer, consulting your appliance\u2019s manual can help you fill in the gaps.\r\n<h3>Tools for the Job<\/h3>\r\nAs long as you\u2019ve got a standard tool kit, you probably have almost everything you need already. Here\u2019s what you should gather up before replacing this part:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">A compatible replacement pulsator<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Flathead screwdriver<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Ratchet and long extension<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">10mm socket<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Work gloves<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Before You Begin\u2026<\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Safety first! To avoid electrocution, remember to disconnect your appliance from power either at the wall outlet or circuit breaker. For this job, you should also turn off the hot and cold water supply to your washing machine, and since you\u2019ll be working on the tub, make sure the washer is fully drained and dry before beginning any work.<\/strong><\/span>\r\n<h3>Replacing A Washer Pulsator Assembly<\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Access the pulsator. <\/b>The pulsator is right in the bottom of your washer\u2019s tub, so open the lid and take a look inside.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the protective plastic cap on the center of the pulsator.<\/b> This is hiding the bolt that holds the pulsator in place. You should be able to pry the cap off with a flathead screwdriver. On some other washer models, in place of a cap there may be a fabric softener dispenser. You should be able to remove this either by hand or with a screwdriver. If your washer\u2019s pulsator is missing this cap entirely, you should replace it. Without the cap, you risk clothes catching on the bolt and tearing, or the bolt itself getting damaged more quickly.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the mounting bolt.<\/b> Use a ratchet, long extension, and socket (we needed a 10mm socket for our Samsung washer) to remove the bolt. The pulsator may want to turn as you\u2019re using the ratchet, so steady the pulsator with one hand while you take the bolt out.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use a screwdriver to lift the old pulsator out of its shaft. <\/b>Once you\u2019ve popped it out of place, you can easily remove it from the washer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set the new pulsator into the bottom of the tub.<\/b> You may have to turn it to line up the splines so that it sits properly in the shaft.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set the bolt back into place.<\/b> Thread it by hand, and then use the ratchet and socket to tighten it down. Again, you might have to hold the pulsator to finish tightening it.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Snap the protective cap back into place.<\/b> It has three tabs that will line up with indents on the pulsator.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\r\nThat\u2019s it! It takes no time at all to replace a damaged pulsator. The only thing left to do is restore the appliance\u2019s power, turn the water back on, and do an empty test run to make sure everything\u2019s working as it should. Watch for leaks, listen for unusual noises, and if it all checks out, you can get back to your laundry.
