Maytag/Whirlpool Washer Making Loud Grinding Noise Diagnosis and Repair.

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!

[@TJ_775]

Hi, did it work properly after removing the coins ,? I had a similar problem and removed the coin but it is still making noise

[@BrutalBeauty90]

@@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!

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.

[@JJE2010MO]

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 !!!

[@susanpope702]

Thanks!

[@michaellaforte6964]

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!

[@justanotherusername]

Thank you. This helps me immensely at 50% of my issue. I have a portable washer/dryer. Now I know what the issue is, but not quite how to fix it on my machine.

[@yknot3148]

Sounds like the bearings were getting noisy and may need replacement as well. They could have been compromised too. I agree that the coins could have caused some agitator jamming, not to mention, small enough objects could get through the filter in the outer tub that could damage the drain pump too. A good reason to check all pockets and clothing for trapped solids that could cause these types of washer failures. How much up and down movement should the tub have once the agitator is repaired/replaced? Thanks for taking the time to do the video. Nice job.

Awesome. We'll I have a Kenmore 700 S series. Seems like it will be the same repair. So now to find where to get the new agitator gear. Now I need to figure out how to clean the dryer for this same series I have. I've clean the dryer vent stack in the wall. I've tried to clean out the dryer itself as much as possible without taking the dryer apart. The check lint trap light keeps turning on. Plus AF ( I think that stands for air flow ). Ugh, I'm sure it will be easy and in the end rewarding. Thanks for your help. Blessings.

[@dannydelong6814]

Just saw your video. Thanks for the info but how to you get the agitator off the washer plate?

[@kfx216]

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!

[@andrewsmith4724]

Mine is locked up as well and the bolt is not coming loose. It turns the whole tub and when you hold the tub and turn the screw then the plate moves but it is very hard to make it move. Did you get yours fixed? If so, how?

[@kfx216]

@@andrewsmith4724 I don't know that it's fixed, but it's been working and it does turn now. I think this is the video I used to clean everything out, but I watched a ton of them so not sure. I'm pretty sure I bought something cheap that was recommended. In a rental, the tub doesn't turn when empty and it seems to work ok. Just keep watching videos, you'll figure it out.

[@BrutalBeauty90]

Thank goodness! I have a top load whirlpool with the glass top and I really thought it was my washer gear case (motor that spins wash plate/agitator), and that piece is like $200! But I decided to try this piece first since it’s the cheapest and I’m about to install it. Mine is making the same nasty noise and won’t wash my clothes good and splines on my wash plate are also wore down. My washer also had coins 🙈. My husband decided to put some medical coban around the part the wash plate/agitator connects to and it started working normally for the first cycle so then I was certain it was the wash plate/agitator. Off to getting my short self to put the new piece in because I’m too impatient to wait on my husband to get home 😅. This video was VERY helpful!

Thank you very much. We have Sears Home Warranty and they are not helpful. You have taught me so much. Best.

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.

[@teeare2367]

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.

[@BeardedApplianceRepair]

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.

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.

[@angelicalaflamme48]

Do you have a video on how to fix this same problem on a whirlpool washer model number wtw5005kw with an actual agitator? Also where is a good place to get replacement parts for the model i mentioned above that don't cost an arm and a leg?

[@aeroman5239]

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.

[@darkegress4392]

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.

[@j.ceephuslincoln5857]

Tip: the bolt on mine was very corroded and wouldn’t budge without spinning the drum. I used a cordless impact wrench on low speed and it came right out. 👍🏼

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.

[@Lhartman]

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.

[@duandlew5206]

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

[@sonnym9954]

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?

[@nicholegarcia1555]

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.

The washer plate on my Whirlpool 4950 model does not rotate freely in either direction, it is attached to the tube. Is there another way to confirm the agitator is the problem? I will remove the nut and washer plate to visually verify the condition of the teeth but was wondering if you had another way to troubleshoot the noise. Thank you.

So I have the same issue pulled the agitator and mine seems like the shaft splines are worn too

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?

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 ...

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?

Question: Should the washer plate spin at all? Mine turns with the whole basket.

[@zseeko]

yeah, good question. mine doesn't move either.

[@matthew6316]

@@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.

My Maytag washer is making that grinding noise so I'm definitely going to repair that part thanks for troubleshooting that for me but my washer will also leak every now and then not every time but I will get a puddle of water underneath how can I diagnose where that's coming from
