This washer impeller mounts at the bottom of the tub to generate the water currents that move and roll garments during the wash cycle. Replacing a cracked or stripped impeller restores proper turnover and cleaning performance.

• Creates the wash action by circulating water and moving fabrics through the load
• Secures to the drive hub; worn splines or a damaged center can cause slippage
• Common symptoms: poor cleaning, clothes not moving during wash, clicking/grinding from the wash plate area, visible cracks or looseness
• Direct replacement for the low-profile agitator "wash plate" style

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the center cap and retaining screw/bolt; lift the old impeller straight up
• Clean the hub splines; seat the new impeller fully and tighten the fastener securely
• Avoid prying against the tub; test on a short cycle to ensure proper wash action

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or detached rear bulkhead allowing side-to-side play
• Excessive noise and shaking felt through the surrounding walls   
• Development of micro-cracks around screw holes over time
• Potential leak paths if holes are no longer sealed
