I cannot tell you how helpful this video was. I am a mom of 6 kids and while I like to do things myself I’m not very good with appliance repairs.😂 I appreciate you posting this in detail and showing how easy it was. I was extremely frustrated and unable to cut off the agitator, but watching you put that bolt back in a little bit and pinging it with a hammer fixed my problem! Thank you thank you thank you🎉
Well, I was in a rush to install the new hub, wasn't thinking and didn't cover the holes, so you guessed it, I dropped one inside the tub. Any video showing how to access where that screw could be, or will it make its way to the drain?
This video saved us over $500!!! We spent $10 on the part, and all is good!!!! Thank you so very much for making this video….I did this by myself while the hubs was at work… again, thank you!!!
Great video! Hammer tap tip was awesome. Wife wanted to get a new washer and dryer, cuz they have to match. $12 is better than $1600. A couple things to add - I put a towel down to keep screws from falling in, aligning is because the gear teeth don't automatically align with the screw holes, threads on top bolt were kind of rusty so used some wd40. It is ok with me if the part breaks again as long as it isn't too often, since my wife would like regular cleaning now that she saw the junk on the underside.
Any tips for removing the bolt on the wash plate? Ours is so tight and the wash plate just keeps spinning which is making it harder. I think my husband has even tried some WD-40
Ron your the man !!! Thank You For The Detailed Video 👍👍 I was just about to give up on trying to get the wash plate out when I came upon your channel . The Placing the screw back in half way and tapping with a hammer is genius!!! Saved me a ton of money and aggravation!! CHEERS
@@channelron3593 Turned out to be the shift actuator. Replaced and now unit agitates. Interesting that once I turned washer and got to part, It looked real familiar. So I now remember that I previously replaced the part 6-7 years ago!
I have a Whirlpool washer model WTW5000DW1. It doesn't appear to be agitating. Rather than agitate, it just makes a knocking sound like it's trying to change cycles over & over & over & then eventually moves to the spin cycle & finishes. I am hoping what you do in your video will fix the issue. Do you have any thoughts?
Ive .seen A LOT of DIY Videos. Although it's a simple job, this is one of the most thoughtful, useful, videos I have ever seen. No wasting time, LOTS of good information that you wouldn't find in 'the instructions"
Thanks for the helpful video - I had a similar model (mine had the fabric softener tower that made me use a long extension for the 7/16 socket) and your video certainly helped clarify the process. An alternative to having to tap on the washplate as you're pulling up would be to stick two hooks (clip washer removal tools in the automotive industry), one on each side of the washplate, through the holes and then alternate lifting with each one to raise the washplate off the spline. Worked like a champ for me when I had to replace my basket hub. Just a thought.
I made this repair on my Maytag washer several months ago. Tonight the center bolt came loose so it wasn't agitating (also making a loud grinding noise). I would recommend y'all use some threadlocker on the bolt to ensure it doesn't come loose.
@@Maimikuba86 for me it was. Was the bolt loose when you took everything apart? It should've been fairly tight and difficult to remove. If you fix it, just make sure not to over tighten it because it will snap.
@@dstidham4253 yeah I tightened it back last night and it worked for a bit but then loosened again. Gonna get some thread lock for it and see if that helps.
Well GE and HOT POINT are trash and should never be purchased. I will now add MAYTAG to that list Mine won’t even release the 7/16 bolt holding the agitator on tried using an impact wrench it won’t let go. Just had to replace the clutch on this thing and now less then a week later the agitator goes out Seriously don’t waist your money on these if it breaks just toss it out and try a different brand
Great video, my washer is agitating like new. Clicked on your link for tip jar and it didnt work, might wanna check that out. Thanks so much for the useful video!
I want to add that my washplate was basically cemented on there. I spent like 30 minutes on this portion alone trying to get it off myself and finally 10 seconds after I called someone to come over for help it broke loose so I had to call them back and let them know I didn't need their help anymore haha. I had to use a flathead to wedge on the inside and the end of the hammer underneath the outside simultaneously, continually rotating, lifting, and shaking. I was only able to get 2 of the 5 screws out because the other 3 stripped bc they were the same condition as the rest of the hardware. And the current hub for real is entirely decayed. Looks like it crawled out of a graveyard. Can't wait to replace it thank you !!!!!
A tip for removing the wash plate. Once i removed the bolt, I sprayed that area with a little wd40. I tried the shoestring method, to no avail. I decided to grab my harbor freight gloves that have a rubberized coating on them, to wrap the shoestring around my fingers to assist in pulling up. That failed. For some reason I grabbed two of the fins and accidentally pulled the wash plate straight up and out lol. The shoestring would have never worked because I pulled it too much to one side (to keep it from slipping out) that it was wedged under the spindle nut (where the drive pump plate is in this video). I think by reading about the problems people had, I was expecting for it to be very difficult, so I didn't start with the easiest method. So don't be like me... try the easier, less forceful way first. 😂
So I did exactly what you said to NOT do... on my last screw, I dropped it, and it went into one of those holes 😢 Now I don't know how to get the screw out 😮 Everything else went smoothly. Help!
Well, it looks like this is my next project. I have the Maytag Bravos top loader, and I'm guessing this is the little problem. Before I get started, I wanted to know if anyone has used the upgraded metal hub replacement from amazon? I don't want to have to make this replacement again. Please advise me if i should just use the plastic replacement or the metal one. Thank you!
I can spin my wash plate by hand, when my machine goes into spin cycle its makes a bad sound and dosent spin or agitate, this goes for all modes is this my issue?
I think this the problem I have the agitator was spinning freely… I don’t think it was doing that before…. I just ordered the part I’ll let you know what happens thanks for the video
Thanks for the video, Ron. Well, unfortunately, I was in a rush to install the new hub, wasn't thinking and didn't cover the holes, so you guessed it, I dropped one inside the tub. Any video showing how to access where that screw could be, or will it make its way to the drain? Thanks again!
Lol, I ended up finding the screw and using a neighbors magnet to retrieve it. I put it all back together, but it's still not agitating. My next guess is the agitator itself?
Great video. I couldn't get my agitator off. I sprayed some penetrating oil and had a string I fed under agitator and smacked bolt like you did and it worked. Thank you sir.
Just curious what's the symptoms you see that tells you this needs replaced? My maytag washer seems to do a lot of 'clicking' instead of agitating. Would that be due to the stripped part seen here?
Can you explain the symptoms that led to this replacement? My Maytag commercial is clicking when its supposed to be agitating this morning, would this problem be in line with that symptom?
No agitation, and the hub was fine. Turned out it was the wash plate. Question: I couldn't get the plastic C-clip installed. I broke two of them, lightly tapping of course. What does it do, and can I run it with out it?
My wife is now tackling this Operation. I'm laid up with a knee replacement surgery 3 days after surgery so I can't do much of anything. I hope she follows such suggestions you have this video and doesn't mess it up because I can't go out drive my car get my trailer and go get another washer because I'm not physically able to right now.
put the shoe lace under the agitator and hit it with WD40 but still no real action. Will continue for rest of the day but if not, it is going in the street. :)
@channelron3593 what would you suggest if this isn't the issue? I've replaced this and the teeth to the plastic cover were not stripped and worn down in the old one. When it tries to spin/wash it makes a clicking noise and moves with the whole drum. Should i replace the actuator next? Thanks in advance.
Helpful video. I don't even know if my imagination is up to the task of what I'd like to do to whoever designed this washer, and I have a terrific imagination. I've fired the parts canon at this washer like 5 times in the ten years I've owned it. It's absolutely ridiculous. Plastic fantastic. I see Speed Queen in my near future.
Is it okay that some of the small plastic pieces from the wash plate gets into the water at the bottom? I had to break apart my wash plate and got some plastic pieces at the bottom of the drum and was hoping it's not a big deal.
Ok mine is agitating but I can hear like bearings or something rolling around under there. Like it’s off track or something??? Would it just be the plate (which look’s stripped out)
Great video, dude! Thanks! Other videos just showed the wash plate itself and so I removed mine and all the teeth and everything on the washplate itself seemed just fine to me and I couldn't understand WHY that would be the problem. They never mentioned the hub. Next video I watched was yours with this hub and I removed that easily and yes all the teeth on it are clearly wore out and I'm sure this is the problem. Thanks! No new washer for us!
Thank you sir! I ordered the part for mine because I’m having the same problem. Edit: Well, this fixed the problem with my washing machine. Thank you so much!
What are the symptoms of this part being stripped ( the basket driven hub) ? Wash plate free spinning? Ty for the video seems like a straight forward replacement.
Very much appreciated, Mr Ron. Especially the link to the part i needed. I was able to replace the hub easy peasy but i do believe the splines on my wash plate are pretty bad as well. Having enough torque on the bolt helps it stay secure but i think I'd still like to go ahead and replace it. Would hate for a heavy load to cause it to slip and damage the splines further. Would you happen to have a link to that washplate? Thanks again
Hi I have a whirlpool cabrio and my agitator isnt working. I followed your video and there is not even a piece to replace under that first piece. can you give me an idea what to do with this model?
Well - good news and bad news.... The good news....This is the only method I could use to get the washplate off, and, it got it off exactly how in your video. Your video was awesome, so thank you for making it. The bad news...the threads in the housing ( I guess the transmission??) got stripped/damaged by hitting the bolt with the hammer.... So, now, it's back to the drawing board unless I just leave the bolt as it is, as Im 100% sure that washplate wont come off on its own...
A tip for future reference: you probably had the bolt backed out a little too much when you hammered it, so there wasn't enough threads for the bolt to be supported on. Understandable assuming if the bolt was threaded in too deeply, the bolt head would be below the plastic. So to solve that issue, just leave the socket on the bolt head and smack it. That saves you from damaging the bolt head and also lets you thread the bolt in more to prevent thread damage 👍
Yeah my plate wouldn't come off so I destroyed it man handled the washer to the road and bought a new one 😂
I cannot tell you how helpful this video was. I am a mom of 6 kids and while I like to do things myself I’m not very good with appliance repairs.😂 I appreciate you posting this in detail and showing how easy it was. I was extremely frustrated and unable to cut off the agitator, but watching you put that bolt back in a little bit and pinging it with a hammer fixed my problem! Thank you thank you thank you🎉
You are so welcome!
TIP: cover the holes with duct tape or masking tape to avoid a screw falling down in there....
Well, I was in a rush to install the new hub, wasn't thinking and didn't cover the holes, so you guessed it, I dropped one inside the tub. Any video showing how to access where that screw could be, or will it make its way to the drain?
I used two dirty t shirts.
This helped me fix my Maytag washer that was no longer agitating. Thank you!

I can’t get that bolt loose. Trying to avoid snapping something. 🤬
did a video using air bags. ua-cam.com/video/Pqp1EKtEBJA/v-deo.html
Hello, can the washplate on this washer be change and be replace with a agitator instead??
I don't think so it made for a wash plate I believe.
Ron, I have same Maytag that doesn't agitate. Removed that hub, but splines not stripped! What else could cause this issue?

In my case it was the white hook at the bottom of the washer (synchronous motor agitator) was seized. Replaced for $23 and problem solved
How did you figure this out? Our machine is around year old and never washed good does not agitate! 😭😭😭 please help

Hi Ron, thanks for sharing. Could you please tell me what type of socket driver you used? I can't remove the big screw/socket in the middle. Thanks.
I believe it was 10mm
Me too it stuck on.
Ron , so happy you could help me in Louisiana! I got quite a chuckle when I saw it was you !
I used 550 paracord down each side and pulled both edges at the same time. The hammer method loosened it up but I couldn’t get the plate up.
They are a pain. the engineer that design this has never worked on them I am sure (:

If you have problems taking out use d40 and use a thin screwdriver shove into the security tunnel all the way through and shaking and pulling
Is the plastic piece supposed to sit all the way down and flush with the bottom or be raised some?
Yes just like I showed should be flush.

Hmm. not sure

Looks so easy but we can get the bolt to move at all my husband is ready to quit… lol we’re soaking it tonight with penetrating oil before we quit😢
Bummer ya they are a bad design.
Thank you, great camera and lighting. BIG money savings, No service guy.
If tub and agitator slowly turns back and forth, think it could be actuator switch gone bad?

I did this and it was the washplate that was worn. Had to replace.
How did you find out it was the wash plate? Asking because I just replaced this piece and the agitator is still not working
Help: one of those 6 screws is stripped, apparently from that plastic piece that was pulled out. How do you get a good grip on a stripped screw?
Wow.. Not sure pull on wash-plate as you try to get screw to back out?
Love the video. Mine dosent wash. It just makes a clicking noise. Any suggestions??
Mine is a Whirlpool doing the same thing. Doesn’t wash well at all and making clicking noise. Spins though.
if you look online you will find someone that has factory reset this model. try that?
but the clicking could be what I replaced?

I did exactly what you did. The agitator still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Now that could be the transmission ? that will be a bit costly.
Any more tips on removing the plate… I’m struggling.
sorry getting back late. if still struggling let sock in penetrating oil as long as you can.
Try no to get bolt off but feels like the whole thing under is spinning with it??
Not sure?
What are the symptoms of this part being stripped ( the basket driven hub) ? Wash plate free spinning? Ty for the video seems like a straight forward replacement.
Wash plate will not spine with a load.
Just out of curiosity why not put a towel around inside of tub so if you do drop a screw it won't go down in tub?
good tip! thanks
Props my man ya saved the day with this repair
What is the other fuse to the right of that blue one? It’s red on my model? TIA
sorry I have given this model away

@@channelron3593 so, good news. I just chased the threads with a tap and all is well. Washer is back to use now!

A tip for future reference: you probably had the bolt backed out a little too much when you hammered it, so there wasn't enough threads for the bolt to be supported on. Understandable assuming if the bolt was threaded in too deeply, the bolt head would be below the plastic. So to solve that issue, just leave the socket on the bolt head and smack it. That saves you from damaging the bolt head and also lets you thread the bolt in more to prevent thread damage 👍
How do I know if it is compatible with mine mine is an mvwx600bw0
you have to make sue you have the right model number should be on the washer most of the times around the Lid
Yeah on mines the agitator plate is not coming off
They are a pain.
Thank you....very helpful!
Maybe a dumb question, but is it the same to use non-original replacement parts? Will it work ok?
Yep will be fine.
I have the exact same washing machine and mine is making a loud noise while it’s agitating replaced the washing plate and it’s quieter but still there
? not sure,
Super helpful! Thank you!
FYI, I replaced this part in December and have just replaced it again in December. Maybe I didn't put it on right the first time, we'll see
Not sure. Haven't seen or heard of it. Keep me updated.
Where is the link for the product
I just placed a towel around the bottom of washer to keep screws from falling into tub. Thanks for the information. It was so easy.
Nice tip!
Great video I was able to remove the lid got to the last screw and for some reason it’s stripped and I can’t get it out
I Know I am late but you could try putting a strap underneath and pulling upward, they are a pain.
I removed the plate, but under it doesn't have the plastic part. I have a maytage bravos xl.
You may have this kit Instead? amzn.to/3w2qbwG
How old is the washer? Does this happen to all of the MayTag
from what I have seen yes. I do not like them at all.
Do you have a video on how to do a small load in the basket of this thing? Ive never been able to figure it out.😳
Sorry I do not, but thanks for the idea (:
I have a shaft in the middle of my percolator
I can see the bolt but idk how to get to it
Nor sure?
What happens if you can't get it to come up
? well keep trying (: sorry
Thanks for the detailed video. But what if you see a lot of grease in there? What other problem could it be?
Could be the baring is bad but I have not Sean greases their? not sure.

Will this part work with Maytag MVW6200KW0
Just make sure that the model numbers match up and you should be fine.
How the heck do you get the bolt off to begin with??? Im at a loss me and my husband have tried getting it out to no avail. 😤
I finally got it after lots of coaxing. I ended up stepping on the spin plate thing and got it out, pretty painful but happy ending 😂
They are a pain
How did you get the bolt out? To tight.
try putting penetrating oil on and let set for a day.
Sir! Thank you so much!! You just saved my migraine! Nice of you to share!! Best to you!
You're welcome!
