The Whirlpool W10919191 Washing Machine Washplate is an essential component of your top-load washing machine. It is also known as a wash plate, impeller, or impellor. This disc-shaped element is located at the bottom of the washing machine's spin basket. During the wash cycle, the washplate spins back and forth, causing a churning action in the water. This motion agitates your garments, ensuring that they are thoroughly cleaned by repeatedly pushing them through the detergent solution. The washplate removes dirt, stains, and filth from your garments by effectively rotating the water and cloths. A functional washplate is vital for getting a clean wash and avoiding unevenly cleaned garments. If your washing machine's agitator isn't working properly, the washplate may be damaged or worn and has to be replaced.
