Samsung Top-Load Washer Washplate Assembly DC97-19291B — Replaces DC97-19291A / Restores Wash Action

🇺🇸 Matching U.S. Part Number: DC97-19291B

DC97-19291B is a Samsung washer washplate or pulsator assembly used in select Samsung top-load washers. It replaces discontinued Samsung part number DC97-19291A.

The assembly is mounted at the bottom of the spin basket and moves back and forth during the wash cycle to circulate clothing, water and detergent. The complete assembly includes the upper and lower washplate sections.

A damaged, loose, cracked or worn washplate may contribute to poor wash action, unusual movement, scraping noises or a washplate that no longer turns correctly.

Similar symptoms can also result from a damaged pulsator cap, loose mounting bolt, stripped drive connection, clutch, motor, basket obstruction or another drive-system component.

Confirm the complete washer model, regional suffix and revision before ordering. Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water supply before service.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct part if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Washer powers on and runs a cycle
• ✔ Pulsator cap, mounting bolt, and drive connection have been inspected
• ✔ Clutch, motor, and basket confirmed free of obstruction
• ✔ Inspection confirms the washplate assembly is cracked, stripped, loose, or damaged

🔧 Common Symptoms
