John June 23, 2020 for Model Number Maytag Bravos Washer was making a grinding type of noise during wash cycle, no noise with spin cycle and spin works fine, just wash cycle. My hunch is the washplate may be stripped. I pulled the plate and it is a metal teeth and the rod it is attached to is metal. Hard to say for sure if there is wear, but I would think the washplate would tend to break down first. Question is, what else should I be looking at and how would I know for sure? Hate to buy a new washplate for this to be something else.

Marlon November 09, 2014 for Model Number WTW7600XWO The washer is really loud while spinning is this normal and if not then what part will I need?
1 Answer Marlon, In most cases when the unit is making a noise during the spin cycle then the issue will be caused by bad tub bearings. For the issue you can go one of 2 different ways with replacement. The first option is to replace the main tub which is part number W10193886. The second option is just to replace the shaft and bearing assembly which is part number W10435302 but will need a bearing tool part number W10447783. Read More...
Dean February 09, 2014 for Model Number WTW6400SW2 I have removed the center cap and 7/16 bolt but washplate seems to be stuck on shaft. I soaked it with a lubricant and not able to lift it out. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer Dean, It may be easier to use the spin basket to remove the impeller/wash plate. There should be 3/8 to 1/2 inch up and down movement in the basket (this is normal for this style washer), grasp the tub by the balance ring and lift up sharply on the basket, " NOTE: Lifting the basket will assist in removing the impeller". If it's that bad, you may need an assistant. Read More...

Mike November 30, 2012 for Model Number Whirpool Cabrio WTW6700TW0 We (technician and I) have tried to remove the washplate to not avail. We have tried many tools to pry it up and it still will not come out. I read that an ice pick could be used but I do not know what an ice pick will do.? What to do?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Pry the cap out of the center. Then remove the bolt securing the wash plate. Once the bolt is removed, you will grasp the fins of the wash plate and pull upward to remove the part. Read More...

1 Answer Stephanie, here are the instructions on removing the wash plate in your washer, 1) unplug power cord from outlet 2) Tape the washer lid closed. 3) Using a putty knife, press and unlock the two front top locks.

To remove the basket: a) Loosen the clamp and pull the recirculation hose off the tub ring. b) Pry out and unsnap the tub ring tabs from the tub and remove the tub ring. c) Insert the blade of a small screwdriver into the slot in the impeller cap, then pry the cap up, and remove it. d) Remove the 7/16? hex-head bolt from the impeller, then lift and remove the impeller from the basket.
