This Maytag Centinel washer is making a grinding noise during agitate. This repair can mirror a whirlpool washer as well. The wash plate or agitator was the culprit. The spline on the agitator where it connects to the transmission we’re stripped. I believe it stripped due to the coins that we found under the wash plate. The coins may have jammed the agitator so the transmission trying to spin it cause the spline to strip. The fix on this was changing out the wash plate. Changing out the agitator fix this.
Hope this helps, thanks for watching like and subscribe!
Saying thank you just doesn’t seem like enough! This was the first time I’ve ever had an easy fix with any appliance I have owned. And your “to the point” demonstration with instructions were truly a blessing. Thank you thank you thank you Have made my day more than you can ever realize!
You and I both know you didn't fix your machine.
@@Zanenoth😂
I came here to say there’s not a chance of hell you fixed your machine and especially not from this video. The other did the other 53 of you didn’t either
So should the wash plate move when it's working correctly or not? Mine is locked in place and won't move. My washer is making a moaning noise during the wash cycle with an occasional grinding noise. Not sure whether it's the wash plate or not. Thanks!
That’s exactly the issue. Thank you so much!! Single mama in college…local repair person quoting me way too much $$$, was ready to just replace it. I’m so glad I saw your video. Thank you 🙏
Sound....like he's driving inside a washing machine Lol!! 🇺🇸
Also looks like he’s in a dryer. Lol
my washplate is not loose or anything. i have a whirlpool that is about 4 years old. it just recently lost all the oil out of the transmission due to a bad seal so i replaced the oil with grease. i started a wash cycle and now when it agitates it make a loud horn like noise. doesnt sound like grinding at all. just like a buzzer or horn everytime the washplate goes back and forth. any idea what that noise could be? spin cycle works great. agitate works great but noise is irratating. thanks
🤣😂
😆 🤣 😂
Hahaha
Taking the washer plate off is the whole ballgame and you don't show it. They don't want to come off.
Man! You nailed it! Thank you! I followed your steps and figured out the problem. But only found a measly $0.11 in the process. 😐
We found $1.50!!!! Lol!!!
You saved me a $75 service call. There were coins stuck between the agitator. Thank you.
Thanks to you, I was literally able to get to the bottom of things and remove $1.25 worth of quarters along with two mangled bobby pins from beneath the agitator of my GE washer! Now I have one less worry accompanied by a grinding sound effect!
Hi, did it work properly after removing the coins ,? I had a similar problem and removed the coin but it is still making noise
@@TJ_775you need a new wash plate/agitator then. Just a few days ago I pulled coins out of mine but it still did it and the splines on my piece were completely worn down to nothing so it wasn’t able to grab the piece it connects to for it to spin. The piece itself is pretty cheap on Amazon. I spent $35 on an Amazon choice one because I’m not paying for a Whirlpool part when it’s about $100 and the same thing as the cheaper one. I’m about to put my new piece on now! Good luck!
@@BrutalBeauty90How did it go?
@@fyiispy8014 went good! Was real easy to swap out too. Just need an 11 socket or wrench. It’s still working good!
You absolutely should have filmed removing the wash plate. Thats the main thing people need to see my guy.
Absolutely! Not some of the time but most of the time they are Absolutely terrible to get out..mine usually come out in pieces
This is the only hard part
Only thing that worked for me was sticking paracord down the sides of the plate, wrapping it then pulling up.
My same washer makes that noise, but only during the spin cycle. Any idea why?
same
Our wash plate had a penny under it that caused the problem for it not to work. After removing the penny the washer now works! Had to use a dewalt clamp to stop the tub from turning since the bolt was so hard to remove. Cost of repair.... zero! We WIN !!!
Thanks for the awesome video, this helped out a lot. Is there a reason why the bolt doesn't have a rubber washer? I noticed my agitator needs replacing but the transmission shaft looks likes there's corrosion to the teeth as well and not sure how long this fix will last once my agitator replacement comes in. Any thoughts?
This was very helpful. I now know what you do. I so appreciate you and what you do. You are awsome. God bless you.
How can I get someone to fix this problem
Did you just put vice grips on the flange and yank it up? I got the boot loose and tried using vice grips to pull it up and it wont budge.
Very Seldom do the Wash Plates come out easy-fact
Ok so my Maytag washer is making almost the same noise except louder. I checked to see if it was this but it’s not. Any ideas on what it could be??
This video is very helpful as I have the same washer as you have in the video. However, I cannot get the agitator off. You had trouble with the one in the video as well. Can you give me the trick with getting it off? Does it make sense to try to free up the agitator from down below?
Mine is making this noise but when I spin the agitator with my hand it sounds fine?
Did you ever figure out what was wrong with it?
@@kassi.3570 no! I ended up getting rid of it
That agitator isn’t coming off. I’ve tried to pry up under it and there’s no way that thing is coming out! I’ve thought about threading screws in the holes and attaching some piece of wood to it to pull it out. Do you have any tips on how to get that agitator up?
Look for videos of the shoelace or thin rope trick. You loop it around the rim of the washplate and push it under with a putty knife then you can pull it up. It works.
@@SusanFisher-pq8et Thanks! I ended up getting the thing off finally. But I’ll remember this trick!
This was exactly what was wrong with mine. Thank you for making this video!!!
Thanks for this video! It looks like Maytag changed the design. Mine has a tall center shaft so first you need a ratchet extension of about 12”. Upon taking off the agitator, they’ve gone with a spindle with spline system that’s akin to bike 3pc crank and spindle. My washer’s about 4-1/2 years old, top load. I did find a broken zipper, maybe that was creating the squeal. Reassembling now and will test. If that didn’t solve it, then the next options start to become more of a hassle!
I use racket with extention and long handle came right out Mine had 1.75 in coins and bobby pins. Careful don't tighten that 7/16 too much or agitator won't move. I used Teflon tape and all worked great. Easy job. I liked and followed. Saved me 200 bucks ..Thanks
I hope my issue is only coins on my 4 yr old Amana. I'm taking it apart to see. If it's only the bottom plate I guess I'll have to buy one, but I'm going to check it right now.
My transmission gear wore out so I have to replace that now. The last wash plate I bought lasted 3 months before it stripped out again :(
Thank you SO MUCH FOR YOUR video! Let me begin with, this washer has been a disappointment since we bought it! I've NEVER been happy with water levels (same on ALL settings), cleaning capabilities, lid lock feature, or wash times. The benefits of saving water only adds to use of more electricity, and those features are not a priority for me.
MY ISSUE:
-app. 2 weeks ago, huge clumps of half dissolved/rinsed detergent on numerous items in load
-diagnostic test specified actuator error code
-replaced, test cycle, calibrated, no error code, BUT still much detergent residue
-cleaned ALL drain hoses and removed small nail from inside pump... Spins freely
-inlet filters clean, supply lines have good water pressure
-drain hose is in correct position
-ran washer on its CLEANING cyle
-calibrated, test cycle, result... Another detergent clumped load -repeated diagnostic/test.... new error code LID LOCK
PLEASE HELP!
The owner's manual is useless, and we live in such a rural area, Jesus will return before we can get service/technician.
When you run the washer try running it with hot water. If your using pods they won’t resolve properly unless the water is a certain temperature. Also when you mention clumped up detergent it makes me thing it’s not getting enough water. Does it fill up properly? Using warm water is good for your machine helps keep it clean so when you can use hot or warm to help clean it out as it’s being used. I find many customers and I used to do this myself but I would only use cold water in everything. Even towels lol. Make sure you wash white in hot along with towels. Helps with everything cleaner clothes and washing machine.
Is that the only issue. The clumped up detergent? The codes may be confusing you. If it will fill, agitate, drain and spin. That’s all your washer really does.
My instincts tell me you have a fill problem. Great information for me to build on too to try and help.
@@BeardedApplianceRepair i have a fill issue also..accompanied with the wash plate issue.
I replaced a wash plate about five months ago… Five months later same thing happened…, I discovered that the spline shaft of the transmission was buggered. Transmission was too expensive to replace so I decided to order another wash plate and use some JB Weld to secure it to the spline shaft so it won’t strip out again in another five months....lol.... hopefully nothing gets stuck below the tub ever…🙈.... because it ain’t coming off of there
How has your repair held up? I had a stripped out hub below the washplate. I bought new one but teeth on transmission shaft were buggered so i clean them best I could and used two part epoxy.
@@MrMjrob so far its still working fine….🤞🏻
It’s almost impossible to get the wash plates out without busting. Well worth your time to check for play in the tub bf going through with this repair
@Bearded Appliance Repair what else could it be if it's not the washplate/agitator? I have this same model Whirlpool washer, and it's doing a loud grinding sound when it begins to agitate. It drains and spins just fine. New splutch gear and new washplate did NOT fix the issue, what else could it be? 🤷♂️
I just replaced by tech clutch broken replaced as was Shiftet Arm never had this grinding noise before though last spin cycle works. Total ($170) parts & labour/house call ($80) = $250. I just can call him again.
We have a whirlpool just like that inside.sounds like that almost and doesn't spin good. Clothes coming out soggy. Have to ring out by hand. Bought it at Lowes 3-4years ago. Seems they don't have the keep warranty or purchase in files. Hope I can figure out how to take it off.can't afford to buy another one or fix it. Saw alot of video's that says it also has to be reset any time a part is changed. How do your know if the part your offering is the right one for my machine. Not to waste money ...
If the wash plate spline is stripped, as indicated in the video, it will be difficult to remove the bolt. However, I used a my impact driver and a 7/16" hex bolt bit to break the bolt loose, otherwise, using a normal socket and rachet, it will just spin the shaft. With the bolt removed, since the wash plate spline was stripped, it was quite easy to pull the wash plate up and off the drive shaft.
When installing the new wash plate, make sure to apply blue Loctite to bolt threads before installing the bolt. The Loctite is required to prevent the bolt from backing out while in-use.
100 percent correct on the Loctite. I did not apply Loctite and the bolt came lose and destroyed the spline. Keep an eye out for coins and lift them out after every wash using two kitchen knives so they don't wear down and slip under the plate. Anyone else have clothes being cut up? I think overloading might press the clothes down under the plate to be torn, cut, ripped. The worn coins could be a factor as well in the clothing damage.
I got same unit getting a suds code then out of balance. I put new bearings in (this is a backup unit) now I have a plastic growling noise after draining. Can the gray top plate over the windings be off center?
Having trouble with a maytag mvw732hw0. The drum won't engage to spin. Replaced the clutch. Didn't fix it. The shift ring teeth are perfect. The shift ring won't engage the drum. Repair guy doesn't know what's wrong.
When I lift the adjudicator I feel a hard stop with and without the bolt in. I also could not get the adjudicator out. Tried to pry it and it won't budge. Whirlpool WTW500DW1. What is my issue?
I have a question for you. What would cause a drum to start banging into the sides once it gets up to higher speeds during the spin cycle? I had to replace the hub because the drum wasn't spinning with the agitator.
After replacing the hub, now the drum starts banging as I described above. The springs and rods look to be in good shape. I feel as if the space between the transmission shaft and drum is to wide and causes it. I had to hold the drum up a little to get the hub to screw down all the way.
I had the same issue. The play between the shaft and the inner tub makes it so that the tub cannot hold a balance. So when the spin cycle starts, it just starts banging into the sides shaking the whole machine.
the play is cause by either a loose or broken tub bearing or tub seal. To get to it you need to take the wash plate off and remove the inner tub.
The banging put a lot of wear on the machine so the sooner you fix it the better
I can’t find one article or one agitator that looks like my model. There’s not a chance in hell that the right part comes then there’s gonna be another week without a washer. Getting pissed as hell. Yo, this is the second video now I watched where you didn’t show the hard parts all your dumb videos just show what I could read and schematic pictures. How about some diagnosing over here you just cut to the next clip and then it’s out of the machine and you’re on a workbench or the floor.😂
Wash plate works fine during wash cycle but sounds weird and rattles during spin cycle . I bypassed the lid lock. Is the wash plate supposed to spin separately from the tub during spin cycle? Spin cycle keeps stopping or slows down . Doesn't spin constantly.
Mine makes a noise upon start up when its in " sensing" mode for load size at the very begining. Doesnt make it during wash cycle. Alls I know there are other videos where they talk about disconnecting water lines, tipping it on its back etc. Im the only one in house and if thats what I have to go through once its disconnected it can go right out the door! Next! Because its only upon initial start up Im perplexed. If anyone knows let me know!
I'm a bit confused, I was watching another video, with a similar washer, and he said the wash plate should NOT move independently from the basket.. is that different on different models?!? I've got a MVWX700XL2 if that helps... now I'm more confused than ever. Thanks for your videos btw! My issue is a F1 E7 error or maybe it's F7 E1, now I'm starting to doubt myself. Basket speed error is the issue, i've already replaced the capacitor, i've checked the lid switch and I"ve done the actuator/tachometer and still have the same issue. So I thought if the center was spinning separate from the basket, that would cause that error.?
Did yours make this exact same noise?
@@rhondal8887 no mine didn't make any noise, but it turned out to be the hub under the washplate, that was worn out, now that I have more experience with those, I've also heard a similar sound from the clutch on the other end. So this COULD make a different sound as well from the clutch. Good luck
Does anyone have the end cycle with a noise that all Neighbours can hear? That is my problem today. it feels like a train passing or a jet lift off. Kenmore 600
My Cabrio shows a code F 50, it wants to start gets water in it then stops and blinks this F 50. It was "popping or cracking like a whip the last few times it went threw cycles..? I'm going to check this as you show but wondered if itigjt be indicating something else
I just had to put a new drive unit in mine because the splines were rotted away, now everything works as it should … but the agggitation cycle sounds like a gear box with no oil in it !?! It sounds like a muffled ratchet sound during agitation, but I tricked the lid switch and I can watch the agitator working correctly. Is the new drive unit bad??
I have a question please. I replaced the stator, clutch, and clutch it along with the main wiring harness (the harness was melted where it connects to the stator/clutch. I still have noise in our Maytag top loader. Also I can barely rotate the agitator plate. Is that normal? What would you suggest I do now? Thanks
My WF-T1022TP 3 step turbo Fuzzy logic w/m is making a grinding sound. How can I fix this
Good video. I have been through several of these garbage washing machine over just a few years. I woke up this morning to find my machine doing this. I will replace this washplate and if anything else breaks it's going to be trashed just like the rest. Dvdn buying a transmission for one of these quickly makes it not worth fixing. Seems like all Lowe's sells anymore is disposable junk. I remember my first washer was the cheapest most basic one Sears had and I got 15 years of hard use out of it. Again thanks for your help.
Hope this helps. Mined didn't either after I replaced wash plate and thought I did something wrong. Not the case after all. Ran diagnostic for my actual machine and it gives you what it should sound if working correctly. Plus no fault codes came up! Whoo Hoo! Need to do run calibration test now.

Ok so is there a sleeve to fix the worn smooth base of the tub.. i put in the metal hub and tightend it down, the springs were also replaced, leveled the unit out and it jumps around like a kangaroo
I have the same exact machine in the video and I cannot spin my whirlpool wash plate agitator at all, even when I push or pull on it like heck!! What might be causing this?
Mine is brand new and makes a very loud grinding noise like a blender non stop. Turned the power of and still didn't stop. Had to unplug it. Second use of new washer. It's a POS.
My he Maytag washer sounds the same But it is also leaking out the bottom is the seal accessible without removing the drive Question mark
Mine turned out to be a rotten/broken basket on the bottom. It was snapped all around and jammed itself. 2017 GE GTW680
Thank you for the video. I have replaced the same agitator on my Maytag Bravos MVWX655DW1, coins are always getting stuck in it and clothing is often destroyed. I think the damage to clothing might be common and worthy of a class action lawsuit against the makers for a major flaw, not to mention a terrible washer.
It's sad that this is considered an agitator. I'll check my real agitator (one that actually turns clothes) and see what I find.
Nope. It's in the gear box. Sounds the same. Mine only moved freely in one direction. I had to bust out the wash plate. Oh well. Not easy and not cheap.
I have a WTW8500DW0 …. I replaced the wash plate with a new one. It is still making the load noise… you talk about an agitator is that something that goes inside the wash plate?
I replaced mine but the bolt keeps backing out. The bolt you put back in looks new with loctite is that the key to keeping this bolt from backing out?
I replaced the wash plate, same issue. i then replaced the splutch assembly, still have the same issue. What should I try next?
After replacing the agitator, it wouldn't spin independent from the barrel... what to do??
Question: Should the washer plate spin at all? Mine turns with the whole basket.
yeah, good question. mine doesn't move either.
@@zseeko I think if you look down the questions someone else asked this a while ago. I didn’t notice when I initially asked. Apparently it’s supposed to be that way when the machine is off. At least that’s what the reply to the comment says.
I have a question. So I have the same exact washer and I did all this. But I removed the agitator and let it run. With out the agitator plate on it still made this noise. O lay thing I can think of the bearing going out?
My 2015 Whirlpool is making a intermiten small grinding noise. any idea? thanks
Ugh I just replaced agitator just like you did but it’s making the same noise ????
Thank you. Easy fix when you know. I used my impact to remove the screw. Way easier because the torque does not get transmitted to the washplate.
Should my wash plate spin freely? Like should I be able to reach into my washer and turn the wash plate with my hand?
My neighbors washplate stripped out the teeth. She didn't want to spend $90 for the part so we cleaned the shaft as best as possible and coated the agitator and shaft with JB Weld, centered it as best we could, put the bolt back in and let it sit for a couple days. Machine lasted 3 more years till the trans bearings went out and it'd howl in spin.
Is it possible to ever remove it after the jb weld?
My wash plate won’t spin and it spins the whole drum. When forced it barely moves.
I would replace that hub too given more live 25 years experience laundry tech
My girlfriend has a top load, the new type. It sounds 50 times louder than that 1. It'll run you clear out the house.
I have watched your video and several others, I think what is wrong with my washer is the drive hub, but when I go to order the part it is not called drive hub, what to do?
What’s the name of the metal part that the agitator connects to? Both my agitator and the metal connection point are rusted and worn down.
What happens if you replace the washplate and its still doing the same thing? This is my issue? I would love a reply even though this is an old video
My washer makes a squeaking noise when washing is that the same thing
Bro you could've save us 5 minutes by not repeating yourself forever in the first 5 minutes
The 7/16 bolt just wouldn’t budge. Dumbest thing I ever saw.
It would have been nice to see you take the wash-plate off. Been trying to remove mine for an hour.
lol you dont film the hardest part of the video. thats because the plate spins as you.try and back the nut off. Of course you had to turn the camera off.
Mine makes that noise but it won't spin easy by hand like that and it doesn't make noise when you spin it by hand . Is it still the same problem mine is a maytag bravos xl
Did you get a whole new agitator piece? Or just the rusty piece? Ty
What if your wash plate doesn't move at all?
Brand new I thought it sounded weird. My agitator when I spin it, spins the whole drum.
I been trying to get the bolt out but can't it's hard sprayed wd40 the whole drum moves
What should I do if I don’t have the strength to undo that bolt to get the plate off? I don’t have a husband to help me 😞
Maytag bravos makes a loud grinding noise but its not the hub or the clutch
The splines on my agitator were fine. Not sure what’s wrong now…
This wash plate made me buy a oscillating saw and a puller told
Having a hard time removing the bolt. Any suggestions
Great video. Is this replacement expensive??
Informtive but the music makes it hard to hear you clearly.
I replaced my bearings that were shot. My stator is cracked but I reinstalled it. I reused the old shaft because the new shaft's skirt was too low and couldn't get the threads to show in the bottom after tightening the bearings x 3. When I compared it with the old shaft there was a 1/2 difference. So put it all back together and did first load with jeans and colors. All went great, very silent clothes came out all dry. The third load the machine was squeaking during spin and would throw the uL code even after I repositioned the clothes more than four times. What do you think is causing that? Cracked stator? Over tightened bearings?
Great video sir, but a few things. That nut was harder than woodpecker lips to get off, I had to beat it like it owed me money to break it free. Next, my wash plate does not move at all, not left or right, no movement. I've tried for about an hour to get that plate off with no luck. Tried WD40, hot water, running a hot cycle and nothiing. Any suggestions?
I am having the same exact problem now. How did you manage to get it off?
My agitator doesn't move at all and the barrel the clothes go into seems very loose.
How did you get it out? I have the car and screw out but I can't pull the agitator up
Thank you for posting this video. When my wife told me something was wrong, I listened to the rubbing sound and went straight to Google. Fortunately, you're video was the first hit/result.
my washer making noise I hope this is the problem thank you
LG 8kg Top load washing grinding and banging when washing
What part’s should I order? You didn’t show putting the part in.
My new wash plate is super tight? What did I do wrong
Did you just replace the metal teeth in the center or the whole wash plate.
Replaced the same piece you did and it still makes the same grinding sound.🤔
But ours is a hub cap type plate, no screw thingy on it like in video
My washplate has messed up the shaft it sits on. Splines as basically gone on the transmission shaft. Do I have to get a whole new transmission?
I would start with the wash plate. it is rare that you see a stripped transmission shaft.
@@BeardedApplianceRepair What if it does happen like on mine,----- Im fixing to cut a key way in the shaft&wash plate and try that,-----If it dont work I'll scrap the fucker,
@lisa n. Did you ever try replacing the wash plate? I think the splines on the transmission shaft are gone too but he said it could just be dirty. I might try JB Weld like I saw in another moment. Probably not worth the money to replace the transmission.
my washer i have the same one when i wash my clothes there is soap marks on it what could this be
Great video! Is it me or is this just a bad design on Maytags part?
