The Washplate is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. The washplate is responsible for improving agitation and making sure clothes receive adequate and even washing.

Causes of washplate failure tend to be normal wear and tear over time, housing debris or foreign objects that become lodged in the washplate mechanism, or damage due to impact from heavy or unbalanced loads.

Symptoms of a bad washplate include:

• Improper water filling or drainage
• Imbalanced loads
• Excessive noise and vibration
• Uneven or inadequate cleaning results 

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

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 

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a stable suspension system. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
