Common Symptoms

- Grinding, rattling, or excessive vibration occurs during agitation when the washplate or its drive splines are damaged.
- The washplate is visibly cracked, worn, loose, or stripped at its drive connection.
Check Before Replacing
- Unplug the washer before inspecting the washplate.
- With the washer empty and powered off, visually inspect the washplate for cracks, broken fins, looseness, or other visible damage.
- Observe whether the washplate moves back and forth during the wash portion of a cycle; do not reach into a moving washer.
- If the washplate is removed, inspect its underside drive splines and the mating drive hub for visible stripping or excessive wear.
- Confirm that the problem is not caused by a separate drive, motor, shifter, control, or basket-hub fault before replacing the washplate.
