I hope, after you are finished, that you have a better experience with your washer. Mine is still working fine. I do leave the lid open to let it dry out inside. I also do a good load of whites and use bleach once in a while. The WTF experience of the problem you and I had is still not reflected upon in a good way. But we move on:)

I am not able to help you with that. Thanks for the reply. Good luck:)

Yes, it has worked fine ever since.

it's not when there where no play when new

Nevermind..i read below. Guess we will have to call a repair person. Good video explaining....

As I know you need Magyar rotors to have the 5 time leak proof warranty on their brakes. That’s why I am changing my rotors now.

@@danimper2517 since 9 moths ago i got a new pair of mdr-p rotors and the problem didnt return yet. Im sticking to them atm and my next set will be galfer shark rotors i think. Or i will move on to hayes of formula brakes

I suspected the agitator was the source of the scum and did not care if I damaged it. And I did purchase a new one. To get it apart, I used a reciprocating saw and made many cuts along the outer edge. This eventually allowed me to separate the two pieces.

@@captainsutterley thanks again for the video, this is all super helpful. I may end up buying a new one (looks like there are ones out there that are designed to be cleaned easier)

Mine is a year old and I have this issue. The agitator is full of crap and impossible to clean due to its design

In my opinion, it started out fairly tight, but got loose over time.

@@captainsutterley because it’s a spring genius . it prevents the shit from bending

@@lifeisamovi So why doesn't it recover it's shape when cold again ? Genius ?

I went to the SRAM 220mm discs and haven't had any trouble since. I also upgraded my brakes to the CODE RSC brakes with the standard metal pads. (my old brakes had smaller pads which got hot quickly)

I do not. And I am not an official repair person. If it was me, I would replace the agitator and then do a few clean cycles with bleach. And see if that solved your problem

I took a reciprocating saw and did many little cuts all around the perimeter until I could pry the two pieces apart, so I could have a look. Later, I did put it back together and used stainless screws to keep the two pieces together and used it. That was until I got the new one and put it in. Now all is well. I do use bleach once a week on my last load of whites. Good Luck:)

@@captainsutterley Thanks for the quick reply!

I went back to the SRAM disks. Now running the 220. The Magura disks worked for me too, but did eventually become a problem.

no haha what are you talking

What should the become lose with agressiv riding? So its a misconstruction i guess.

good thing to put on the general bike check up

Thanks, That is good to know.

tks

But they don't accept this as a warranty case.

Thanks. Very interesting read. I have always loved the area. And was interduce to Dinkey Lakes area in the early 60's on my first pack trip.

I am not sure what you mean by "washer plate" but you should be able to get any part at an appliance supply store. Good Luck:)

Hi Tricia, Thanks for your comment. I try and create videos that help people to get answers to some problem that is not covered well in UA-cam, as a way to pay back for all the information I have gotten over the years. Anyway, my thought is there was not really much slime on anything else. It was the agitator. Yes that center piece pries out. And yes I did break a tab doing it.

@@captainsutterley I’m having same issue. Can it be cleaned or do I need to buy/replace the part? Great video, thank you!

@@thejimmysvideos , Jim I replaced the part and now use bleach more in my last white load. Good luck.

I am in agreement. Replacement takes care of the issue. After that using bleach more often and doing the recommended cleaning cycle has worked for me. The part, could be ordered from any good appliance parts store. I think it was around $70.00 USD.

I agree. I hate it. I also have a lot of lint on black clothes. I cleaned it multiple times. There is no gunk. I had it for 3 months

The problem is the space between the metal and the plastic. Once all that scum is in there no amount of cleaning cycle will get it out of there, in my opinion. So, in my opinion it is time to go to any appliance part house and they will be able to order you the part. (On mine the center plastic cap, tangs were flimsy and I broke one, so I also replaced that with a new one) I now use bleach at least once a week to clean whites. And a clean cycle with cleaner once a month. That seems to have stopped the problem and was in the instruction book that came with my washer. I am not an appliance repair person, but felt okay fixing this. It is always good to consider having an appliance repair person do the work.

I have come to use bleach more in my LG washer, which has, as far as I know, stopped any scum issues. (the manual mentions using a cleaner every 30 days) And I own an LG refrigerator and tv, which have worked fine. (so far)

I have all LG appliances and there is an issue with each of them. The ice maker broke after the first year and the plastic from the freezer drawer keeps breaking off. We currently have it rigged up, but if you touch it the wrong way, it falls off the track. The dishwasher will not turn on from time to time. The plastic on the washer and dryer have turned yellow, the detergent compartment is full of mold and it is very difficult to clean and the crack where the lid to the washer is collects all kind of scum and is also extremely difficult to get any type of cleaning tool or rag in. Horrible products! I am planning to sell them all soon and get Whirlpool or Maytag.

I used a reciprocating saw. I made small cuts next to each other and was able to eventually pry the two pieces apart. I have replaced the agitator with a new one and now use bleach and the clean cycle often.

@@captainsutterley Thank you.

Mavic Pro 2 and Mavic Zoom. Bird 3 and 4. The first two met untimely demise due to pilot error:)

In my opinion, the thin layer of scum found in the agitator disk would have negligible effect on the balance of the spinning drum.

FYI: I am a DIY repair guy not an official appliance repair person. That said, the plastic cap in the middle will pop out. It has several tabs and I broke one. So, I ordered a new one when I ordered the agitator. The agitator (The big disk with slime in it) will come out after taking a bolt out that is under the plastic cap. Any work one does themselves always may fail and you will have to buy a new machine or get professional help to fix your problem. My video is just an attempt to explain a potential source of the scum. Note: Since putting in a new agitator in, I now use bleach a lot more on my whites and have not had the problem since doing that.

@@captainsutterley how did you split the agitator like you see here?

@@OliverZhou , I used a reciprocating saw. I made small cuts next to each other and was able to eventually pry the two pieces apart. I have replaced the agitator with a new one and now use bleach and the clean cycle often.

Thanks!@@captainsutterley I see some people online saying they just separated the metal layer and kept the plastic layer. If you remember - was the plastic layer by itself smooth enough to use?

@@OliverZhou I thought about that, but decided to just buy a new one.

It's a slightly bigger mylar sail made by Precision Sail in BC, Canada. The cost is competitive. It really adds a snap in power to the Wave.

Thank you. (Since I have never had this requirement in any washer I ever owned it did not know that, it is written in the manual to run a cleaner every so many cycles. If I had done that, maybe there would not have been a problem. That said, there was so much scum sandwiched in my agitator that the several cleanings I did before taking everything apart did not work for me. And so I made this video for the people that are trying to recover from the situation I found myself in.

This is what I do. I run a washer cleaning cycle every few months and haven't had any issues.

Even with my whirlpool I ran a cleaner cycle. All washing machines have it in the manual.

I've been running the monthly cleaner since we got ours, and we leave the lid open. all that and the wash plate/agitator still looks the same as the one in the video so it's time for a replacement. can't stand having the "wet leaves" effect!

I have done some pan work here and there. But not in this area. It's an interesting idea. The holes are beautiful, many deep and water chilly. I bet the rock beds are firm. Anyway, good luck.

May I ask how did you find the gold, what did you use?

If you think it's tha agitator, it can be replaced.

Chris! I’m having a hard time removing the top. Did you have to take the door off first?

@@jennurbanski1029 Jenn, I am not an appliance repair guy, more of a do it yourself guy. But, the top of the machine unbolts from the back. The agitator can come out with the top on. The middle plastic cap pops off, (I had to buy a new one, the tab broke). There is a bolt underneath. Note various washer sequence. If you are taking the drum out, then the top does have to come off. And lastly there is a very large nut on the drum put on with probably an impact tool at the factory. This you will have to overcome. Hope that helps.

@@captainsutterley Chris, to remove the top, in addition to unbolting from the back. Do you have to use the PUTTY knife trick from the front?

@@lawinner888 , Thomas I am not a repair guy. I worked through it like you are. It's been a year since I took it apart. I would say replace the agitator, which is easy to do. Then use lots of bleach on the clean cycle to try and kill anything below the drum. That is a pain to get out. Good luck:)
