The Whirlpool W10846191 is an essential unit within your Whirlpool washing machine, primarily functioning as a washplate. It's a disc-shaped element located in the center of the washing machine's washbasket.This apparently basic component is critical to the laundry process.As the washer agitates during a cycle, the washplate spins and rotates the garments in the washbasket. This churning motion helps unravel and eliminate dirt, stains, and detergent residue from your clothing.Think of the washplate as an underwater merry-go-round for your laundry.The washplate rotates the clothes regularly, ensuring that all garments are exposed to the detergent and water solution's cleaning activity. This uniform distribution of items in the washbasket keeps them from clumping together, which can lead to uneven cleaning.
