The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This screw is used to securely attach the wash plate or agitator to the bottom of the washer's drum. This screw ensures that the wash plate remains firmly in place during the washer's operation, preventing movement that could lead to inefficient washing or damage to the machine.

Causes of damage to the screw can include corrosion over time, overloading of the washing machine which puts excess stress on the wash plate, or wear and tear from regular use. 

Symptoms of a bad Screw include:

  • The wash plate becoming loose or detached
  • Unusual noises during the wash cycle, such as rattling or banging
  • The washer failing to agitate properly

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Wendee, if the bolt head is stripped, a vice grip plier may be able to grab on just enough to loosen the bolt. If the threads are stripped, the bolt head would need to be removed so that the agitator plate can be lifted out of the way, allowing the threads to be grabbed with a vice grip and lifted up while unscrewing it. If this does not work, the gearcase and bolt would need to be replaced.

Lowinda, a hammer and socket wrench can be used. With the socket on the bolt, use the hammer to tap the end of the wrench. This should cause it to loosen up.
