- Part one of two videos. • Maytag Bravos pt 2. Wa... I wanted to make a video showing what could be wrong with your washing machine if it will not agitate. Mine was not fixed by just removing the coins caught in there. I had to replace the washplate. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for this video. I have the same exact problem. going to get a new Washplate tomorrow
Well, I had a tough time getting my Maytag bravo’s agitator off. Ended up breaking the agitator, then had to drill two tiny holes and then split it with a chisel. The hub plate gear teeth were stripped out. A lot of work but well worth the trouble. New agitator plate $30, new Hub kit $10.
Boiling water it pops out super easy every single time.
Does your wahsplate sit flush with bottom of washer.. ? Or is it popped up just a bit?
I did diagnostic which machine passed. When I run the load it stopped at spin...any ideas. We followed this video also and cleaned out
thank so much for posting this video! Any advice for the agitator working but drum not spining?
Like your wash plate my teeth are rounded down and very rusty. Bought a new wash plate installed it and it lasted for 7 months and the teeth are worn out again. I think the shaft has become rounded a bit and it's not a snug fit. I think the transmission part with the shaft is 180 bucks but not to difficult to change out but at this point I might as well buy new washer.
Damn Good Vid, My Same Washer...Same Part, You Just Saved Me From A Life Of Orange Jumpsuits.
What if this joint of motor to this plate is broken, how to fix that , I have removed this broken joint from plate but unable to figure out to fix/get out the broken part which remain in the bottom part …
Thank you:)
what glue did you use
My center bolt keeps backing it's self out and starts grinding. My splin grove's still look good aka the teeth
What kind of grease is that?
I so wanted this to help me/be my issue. Thumbs up anyway because I'm sure it will help others :)
Trouble getting the plate off /stuck? czcams.com/video/XEpV9p2urmA/video.html
@5:30 explains how to get your plate up. Hope this helps.
Thanks a million times. That plate was a bitch!
Thanks for the video. We removed the bolt but darn if we can pull the plate off. Any ideas? Thanks
The secret for removing that plate is in this video. I had the same issue and so did this guy.Easier to watch and see than explain. Its at the 5:30 mark in the video. czcams.com/video/XEpV9p2urmA/video.html
Having the same problem
$120 for a new washplate? Not a tightwad like me. I knocked out the old splined insert and used a good epoxy to form a new insert where the old insert was. The key is to let the epoxy cure to a putty consistency before setting it over the shaft. Should be as good as a new one because the new washplates have plastic splines.
I did this and the epoxy shattered after a couple of washes
I was thanking like jb weld stuff it then put it back over the shaft mabey it will hold up for a bit I hope so anyways lol
We’re do we get that agitator from ? Mine just spins without the basket
I ordered my washer plate from Fox Appliance. You will need the model number to make sure you have the right plate. Hope this helps. Sorry took so long to respond.
How did you get the bolt? Mine keeps spinning
Mine too
Our Bravos is getting out of balance, alot, and thudding, not rinsing clothes properly. Spins extremely fast. Already replaced the spline
Can't find 1 single video on youtube to fix my problem!! On the wash cycle; mine does nothing! The only thing that works is if I put it on the Drain/spin cycle, then it will fill with water, spin & drain. Any clue as to how to get it to fill & wash??!
Me too
In the video, not trying to be rude by saying this just there is an error in the captions, you or whoever typed tea shower and he says the teeth are shot on it. Thanks have a blessed day. Your hair looks nice...
Hannah Sides that's CZcams's (bad) captions... I've seen it on a lot of videos. I keep my captions turned off because I get so distracted by the ridiculously wrong captioning.
I can’t get the bolt to break loose on mine. Tried everything, impact wrench, etc. it will not come loose. Any suggestions?
Same problem. I just gave up. That bolt will not come off!! Wife wanted me to clean it under there. That bolt ain't budging
I'm a service tech over 30 yrs,those plates dont always come out,usually I have to vreak the plastic off the sleeve,then use a puller then the coupler below is stripped because the shaft is corroded,usually thwe basket gets walllered out and ruined also, or, the basket is stuck,have to use a special tool to remove it. Its a poor engineered design they don't make this design anymore it was aweful
I got the plate off by breaking it but the steel sleeve that was in the middle of the wash plate is completely stuck on the shaft. Any tricks to get that sleeve off the shaft?
Really appreciate this video. I think I am having the same exact issue. My worry is with mine, that little cap keeps popping off and the bolt keeps getting lose. I would tighten the bolt, and then after a few washes, it would stop agitating and that cap would pop off and the bolt would get loose again. You think it’s still just the wash plate that needs to be replaced? So my issue is it doesn’t agitate and the bolt keeps getting loose
Yours could be the tines are worn out. I would try loc tight and make sure that you are holding the plate while tightening
My is doing the same thing. Did you get yours figured out ?
The “actual “ part for my Maytag washer was 116 dollars plus tax at the local appliance store but if u do some digging around on the enter- web I found a part that was compatible with mine for 41 dollars,not trying to rub salt on the wound but may be helpful if someone watches your video
Where did you get it from?
The wash plate I went to my local appliance part store which is Fox Appliances in Macon on Hwy 247. You should be able to get one from Amazon or Google.
I have a maytag Bravos washer that barely agitates. I have replaced the gear case, wash plate, hub, splutch kit with belt, recalibrated the P.O.S. No error codes found. It drains and spins properly through out its cycles but it's still not agitating with force like it used to. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Buy another washing machine. Maytag is garbage. Whirlpool is better.
@@MrTindallb Finally figured out what was wrong with it. The so called actuator has an internal crappy plastic pin that drives the cam that enables the splutch to engage with the gearbox. That P.O.S. plastic piece broke off! Took the actuator all apart and modified it with ground up screws to act as pins. Reassembled, installed and calibrated and now it's as good as new. Hopefully this helps someone out there with the same problem...
My next washer will be a speed queen. I've heard they are the absolute best.....
Awesome man. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. These washers are just terrible and maytag should be ashamed. Glad you got it working.
I took my wash plate off and removed coins and it’s still not agitating. How did you get to the pin to fix it? From behind? Please help
#MeToo
Why in the hell would maytag make that part out of pot metal?
Anyway, the repairman put a piece of sandpaper over the splines, cleaned it up, and it worked for about another month.
Can’t get washer plate out
What if the plate stuck and dont want to come out
There's a separate CZcams video about getting the plate unstuck. The link to the video is in the comments down below.
Jjja
That washplate/agitator is 40 on EBay.I just bought one.
That wash plate is hell to remove. I already had the struggle off camera.
That's where we're at right now 😭
So how did you take it off because im having a hard time taking it off
@@irenesaucedo3466 We ended up breaking it 😭 Took it to the curb and bought a new one.
Irene Saucedo poured a pot of hot water in the middle (twice) where the bolt was and wiggled it out
czcams.com/video/XEpV9p2urmA/video.html
@ 5:30 is a great way to get the plate off.
1-2 gallons boiling water , pour it in slowly then pull with shoe lace came right off
Maytag is crap, I am going to buy me a cheap washer
My wash plate doesn’t come off at all
There's a video of how to get it off by slowly loosening the bolt and hitting it with a hammer to loosen it up.
I want the old washplate cuz I collect them
Business is obviously booming on the maytag side 😂
Has anybody within these three years have any success getting the washboard lifted off Winstock without destroying the wash plate please let us know thank you
There's a video another guy made where you can loosen the bolt and tap with a hammer slowly and work it off like that. It's on CZcams.
NO! Wash plateS are very hard to remove, tried for days it would not budge, Finally used angle grinder to cut it off. Had to cut the metal to remove it from the drive shaft. New wash plate ordered. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAYTAG!
It's only 3 years old and haS broken 3 times!!! MAYTAG REPAIR MAN BUSIEST MAN IN TOWN!
$120? Must mean it's a part that routinely fails. Holy cow.
I can’t even get the damn bolt off.
I know
is revers threads?
No it's not.
If you read through the comments there's a video that a guy made that shows how to get the bolt and washer plate off. Easy.
Me either the bolt turns when I turn wrecg but it doesn't come a loose
The center plastic drive hub is not the cause of the agitator not spinning.
The agitator is driven by shaft splines under the cap and nut. A loose nut will cause no agitation as will worn splines inside the plastic agitator plate. Loose change is an unlikely cause.
To remove the plate remove the cap and bolt and soak hole with a rust penetrant. Put rags around basket to keep penetrant out-of tub slots. While it is soaking cut a wire clothes hanger in the middle below the hook. Bend each cut end to an 80 degree (or so) hook. Insert each hook into a hole on opposite sides of the agitator and gently tap up under the hook. If it doesn’t budge rotate the hanger to another set of holes 90 degrees from the first.
40 bucks on Amazon
I've tried everything in the video and in the comments to remove the bolt but it seems the design is shit. How can it be so hard to clean something Maytag recommends cleaning at least every 6 months? I'll never buy another Maytag, incredibly unhygienic to not be able to clean without jumping through hoops only to fail.
This machine is a piece of shit even when working properly. I cant wait for mine to break to throw this in the garbage
Totally agree! Mine will walk across the room if I add some jeans to the load.
Use boiling water to pop it out pin this comment.
When you have grease all over the clothes you wash don't wonder why
Been over a year and zero grease
