Jason M. May 01, 2019 for Model Number Maytag Bravos Should my inner washer basket have splines? I recently pulled my washer plate and basket out to clean and my basket lifted up freely. the inside of the hole fitting over the shaft was smooth. I did the cleaning because my clothes were coming out wet and I noticed the plate was moving free of the basket. I figured change or something had gotten in between the plate and basket keeping it from catching and spinning. There was a ton of gunk but nothing obvious. I pulled the basket thinking I would need a puller or wedged 2x4 with a jack, but it came right out.
1 Answer Jason, There would be no splines on the tub itself and if the wash plate is smoothed out then this would need to be replaced. Supplying a model number would help us better with answering the question. Read More...
Jason L September 19, 2018 Is the washplate in The Maytag bravo XL suppose to spin freely. I have nothing in the machine and I turn the washplate and it spins easily. We are getting a moldy smell to our towels, do you think this may be the cause?
1 Answer Jason, The washplate should not spin freely and would spin with the tub. Check to make sure that the bolt did not back out which could be the most likely cause. Read More...
Francesco April 25, 2018 I took the washplate off and see that that the plastic splines are stripped completely. However I noticed that the metal splines which the wash plate fits onto, looks a little rusted as well. I cleaned it up and there are splines but I'm wondering if that should be changed as well. What is that part? Thank you
1 Answer Francesco, The metal splines that the wash plate attaches to, is the gear case output shaft (agitator shaft). To repair or replace the shaft, you'd need to replace the gearcase W11132267 Gearcase. Since you've "cleaned it up" already, you might want to re check the splines and insure there is no residual "plastic" shards or debris left, then you may want to apply a thin coat of "vaseline" to the metal shaft install the new washplate make sure the bolt is tightened properly, and watch out for overloading the washer. Thanks, Read More...
Greg April 28, 2017 for Model Number MVWX500XW0 Trying to remove the wash plate. Everything turns. When I turn the bolt in ether direction,the tub turns. When I hold the tub,the motor turns. Thanks
1 Answer Greg, You will need to wedge the pulley on the bottom of the unit to keep it from rotating and allowing the motor pulley to rotate. Read More...
Julie January 17, 2017 for Model Number MVWX700XW0 How do you get the wash plate (impellar) off the splined? We have removed the cap, screw and washer. The wash plate will move very slightly but we have not been able to pull it out.
1 Answer Julie, You will need to get something under the washplate and lift up on it to get the washplate off. You could use something like a rope to get under it. Read More...
Sam Z September 13, 2016 for Model Number MVWX700XL2 The agitator spins wildly and then the tub doesn't spin correctly, when it kicks into the higher speed spin the agitator spins really fast then the machine stops. I removed the wash plate and there is a decent amount of grease under it and the splines on the plastic part labelled 8 look like they might be stripped. But part 8 does not have a part #.
1 Answer Sam, The part number for number 8 on the tub diagram would be the hub which is part number W10528947. Read More...
Rich September 10, 2014 I just replaced the washplate about a month ago. Machine worked fine for a few weeks but we noticed clothes were soaked after cycle. Took the new washplate off and noticed the grooves in the plate are become stripped again. We are not overloading the machine any idea why this would happen so quickly?
1 Answer Hello Rich. When you replace the wash plate make sure you get the cent bolt tight. If not, it can allow clothing to get under it and it will cause the wash plate to strip out. Read More...
Barry August 20, 2014 for Model Number MVWC400XW3 When off, I hear a low rumbling sound when I rotate the drum/washplate. This noise is very loud in the spin cycle. The unit operates normally except for the loud spin cycle.
1 Answer Hello Barry, It sounds like you need to replace the gearcase W11132267 since the bearings are included with it and this is the only way to get the bearings. Read More...
Chris December 29, 2013 for Model Number MVWX500XW1 What would make the wash plate come loose. I took it off and the thread appear to be stripped.
1 Answer Chris, Normally if an agitator strips out the splines it is caused by one of 2 things. Either there is something is hung up under the agitator not allowing it to move or overloading of the unit which does not allow the agitator to move properly and would cause the splines to strip.

Gerry November 09, 2013 for Model Number MVWX500XW0 I have a Maytag Bravos washer model # MVWX500XW0. I need to remove the washplate (original part # W10215119). I have removed the cap and the bolt/washer and I should be able to simply lift the washplate up and out, but it is stuck. No amount of pulling will release it. Short of destroying it, I cannot remove the washplate. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Gerry, The cap and bolt are all that hold this in position. You can put a very small amount of penetrating oil on it to help free it up but be cautious not to get much in there since there are items in this unit that cannot withstand petroleum products. You can also remove the tub cover and grab the edges of the spin basket and bump up on the impeller with the spin basket. This will many times pop the impeller out. Read More...
