Customer Questions and Answers for Pulsator Assembly (Wash Plate) by Lg

This pulsator assembly is the wash plate at the bottom of the tub in select top-load washers. It circulates water and clothes during the wash cycle, so replacing a worn or cracked pulsator restores proper agitation and cleaning performance.

• Creates the wash action by oscillating to move water and fabrics
• Helps maintain even turnover for effective cleaning
• Common symptoms of failure: little or no agitation, poor cleaning results
• Other signs: grinding/knocking during wash, a wobbling/loose wash plate, or visible cracks/stripped center

• Disconnect power and turn off water supplies before servicing
• Remove the center cap and mounting bolt, then lift the old wash plate straight up
• Clean the hub splines; align and press the new pulsator fully onto the hub
• Reinstall the mounting bolt and cap; tighten securely and run a quick test cycle
