Lg FAF30369201 Washer Hardware Washer OEM Part

We had a repair man come and tell us the needed repair at the cost of 70.00 I ordered the parts and saved money.

This was extremely easy. The old washplate had the grooves stripped. The new one was snug and took some time to line up and slide into place by tightening the screw. The washer prevented the screw from catching the threads so I skipped that. The washer wasn't on the original, which probably contributed to the washplate getting stripped. But it lasted 6 years. Hopefully I can get a few years out of this washplate. Took about 20 minutes from start to finish.

After removing the pulsator (agitator) it was evident the spline was very worn. Also from looking at the diagram the washer below the pulsator (agitator) was missing since manufacture. I ordered a new washer, pulsator (agitator). The new pulsator appeared to have a steel spline unlike the original pulsator, a new cap because the old one had been removed so many times to tighten the screw down that it wouldn't stay tight any longer. I believe the problem was that the missing washer contributed to the pulsator (agitator) to wear out prematurely. Thanks to AppliancePartsPros' diagram, I was able to order the correct parts especially the washer. Also I asked for next day delivery and sure enough, the parts came the next day!!! I also asked LG for reimbursement for the parts and I am still waiting for their response.

Repaired Pulsator Assembly by replacing damaged components, Tools: - Socket set - Carpenter type door shims - Stainless Steel brush (that is the brush that I had on hand - other types will work equally well) - Silicone grease Disassembly - Disassembly was simple since the original assembly was loose. Used several (4) shims to help pry the pulsator assembly off the shaft - good even pressure with no further damage. Assembly: - Assembly was pretty straight forward. During a fit check found buildup on spline shaft which prevented installation of pulsator assembly. Easily corrected with the stainless steel brush and some silicone grease. Also cleaned hard water deposits where the pulsator assembly interfaces with the tub assembly. Comments: Highly recommend replacing the bolt (nomenclature: screw, customized) - since there is a locking compound on the threads (or use Loctite if reusing old bolt). This was a no-brainer for me since my original problem was a loose Pulsator Assembly, I also replaced the Pulsator cap since it had a broken tab

Replaced clutch assembly, however I also had to replace pulsator assembly due to broken shaft removing splines from the assembly due to wear.
