Hi everyone thanks for visiting my channel I hope you were able to get that stubborn wash plate removed. If you need to clean your washer completely please go watch ua-cam.com/video/aZHU325D3a4/v-deo.htmlsi=uE790PNFSqmC6a8L
You saved me so much frustration, thank you!
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for this video. It made me realize the wash plate was stuck due to rust. So I put some Evapo-Rust in the bolt hole, waited about an hour, and easily pulled the wash plate up. It might be worth mentioning Evapo-Rust in the video, as it does not produce caustic byproducts like other chemicals.
Awesome thank you! Glad you were able to get your wash plate out!
This video finally helped me get ours off. The WD40 + lightly tapping with a rubber mallet did it. I used some old weed Wacker string to route around the holes and pulled while lightly tapping.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks!
Thank you for your tricks to get the wash plate unstuck!! I used the CLR/Boiling Water Combo!!
Fantastic!
These are a bane on washing machines as a whole!
Yes very bad design!
I had a similar issue and couldn't remove the plate. I tried several methods, including WD40 and pulling it with a wire inserted in the three holes, among others. Finally, I purchased CLR and poured it with hot water, letting it sit for 2 minutes. I attempted to pull the wash plate again, but it didn't budge. Then, I ran a short washing program to clear out the CLR, and within less than 2 minutes, the plate came off by itself! I believe the combination of efforts contributed to this result, but I trust that CLR worked in my case. Good luck to everyone facing the same problem. Moving forward, I plan to do a deep cleaning with 2 cups of washing soda and 2 cups of borax every 3 months. Hopefully, it will help keep it clean!
Thanks for sharing! Yes the CLR is what did it for me too!
i am currently working on a tool for this for all service techs and diyers, should be ready this spring
Awesome!
Anyway you can expedite that 😅
When it’s available let me know
Tried the mallet, boiling water, soaking in vinegar, wd40, hooks through the holes and it wouldn’t budge. Then ran a short cycle and in 5 minutes it floated right off! I’d advise to keep an eye on it so you can pause the cycle as soon as it comes off & remove it before the spin kicks in. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks!
Mine would not budge. I poured one pot of boiling hot water, waited about 30 mins, then started a normal wash with hot water and about 3 minutes into the wash, it popped right out!!!
Awesome!
excellent brain
Yo question. Is it safe to use my washer without the little cap that covers the screw of the wash plate?
I wouldn’t recommend putting clothes in it without the cap as they could get caught and damaged.
air bags great idea.. hot water and soft hammer. tap 100 times. tap top and sides be patient. hooks great... screws and slide hammer.. put vaseline or silacone grease on all threads and binding surfaces for next time. my big fight was with the spider.
I tried all methods except blowdryer, drywall screws and air shims. Nothing, and I mean. NOTHING budged. Soo frustrating, clothes coming out of this machine covered in bits of crud. Will Def. NOT be seeking out LG appliances in the future.
Did you try CLR that’s what did it for me
May I suggest method #8- no special tools or additives needed. Loosen the bolt on top of the wash plate just slightly but do NOT remove it. Then just put your machine in wash cycle. The strong back and forth movement of the wash plate will loosen it naturally. I used my machine for a few days in this way. Finally I removed the bolt for another wash cycle and as the water was filling up, the wash plate just floated right off.
Thanks!
my airbags won't go don't far enough. The video you linked is a different machine and doesn't even show how they did it.
I have been tiring to get mine off for 3 days many washes, tried clr soak several hrs, nothing, nut blaster, several hours, i tried all the methods here except for the evapor rust tub cleaner, vinegar, run the washer without the bolt, tried the 2 hooks to pull it up each time, used the same as the Allen wenches with the vice grips and a turn the plate to tighten the wire to pull it off nothing happened it was so tight and nothing.
Have you tried a rubber mallet? At this point can’t hurt to hit it pretty hard likely will want a replacement anyway.
Great video..! Right on time 👍🏽
I feel your pain man. I did the same. Finally I broke it out today and have to get gear pull tool to remove the gear tomorrow. This thing is nasty.
Every single video “mine comes out easily” fuck all these vids 😂
Oh trust me it took a while at first. This was was a replacement
