James B Baldwinsville , NY August 17, 2015 Washplate wouldn't agitate clothes The plastic ridges on the inside of the washplate were stripped. New washplate solved the problem. This washer is barely 3 years old, so I guess I can expect to be doing this again, but better than buying a new washer. 15 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
