Customer Questions and Answers for Washplate by Whirlpool

Hello Aldo, We will be happy to investigate the part availability for you if you could please re-post with the model number from your units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Lisa, The inner wash plate should just lift out although it may have gunk holding it and not allowing it to come out. You may have to give it a tap with a rubber mallet to free it up.

Cat, You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello David, The clothes would be getting caught unde the washplate due to either overload or bad universal joint.

MHJ, You didn't mention your issue, but no, the rubber gasket on the bottom of the washplate 285903 and or agitator WPW10076170 is not available as a separate component. The part number you supplied, is not for a WTW6200SW0 and will not work properly on the model number you supplied. Thanks and Good Luck

Helmer, You don't or can't remove the cabinet, access to the tubs is through the washer top panel. Did you not recieve our previous response dated 12/24/11 ? The information in that post is the proper procedure from the service manual for your style Kenmore washer. Thanks

Helmer, Here's some help :" Raising the Washer Top to the Service Position The washer top is hinged at the back edge. It does not have to be completely removed for access to components inside the tub. 1. Disconnect power from the washing machine. 2. If the unit is close to the wall at the back, pull the washing machine forward a foot or two. 3. Gently pry the emblem from the front trim. 4. Remove the T-20 Torx screw holding the washer top to the cabinet latch. 5. Slide the washer top forward, approximately 1/2 inch, to clear the cabinet latch. 6. Raise the front of the washer top up and prop it high enough to allow full access to the contents of the tub. Removing Components in the Tub 1. Disconnect power from the washing machine. 2. Raise the washer top to the service position. 3. Disconnect the fresh water inlet hose from the tub ring. 4. Unsnap the tabs that secure the tub ring to the tub. Lift the tub ring from the tub. 5. Using a flat bladed screwdriver, release the three (3) tabs to separate the balance ring from the basket. 6. Using two (2) flat bladed screwdrivers, 90° apart, in the notches provided, separate the dome from the outer wash plate. 7. Remove the six (6) 3/8” bolts securing the outer wash plate to the universal joint. Remove the outer wash plate from the basket. 8. Once the outer wash plate is removed, the inner wash plate can be lifted out of the basket."

Hi David. Take a flat blade screwdriver and pry off the top cap. Remove the surrounding bolts and lift the wash plate off the transmission shaft. Reassemble in reverse. Thank you.
