Function & Importance of the Washplate
Within a Whirlpool top-load washer, the washplate (also known as the impeller) is a central rotating disc at the bottom of the wash basket that:
-
Generates wash action: Lifts and rolls laundry through water and detergent for effective cleaning.
-
Promotes fabric movement: Prevents clothes from clumping and ensures even exposure to washing forces.
-
Transfers drive torque: Works with the agitator or impeller system to move clothing without excessive vibration or imbalance.
High-quality OEM construction ensures correct alignment with internal splines and drive components, reducing wear, noise, and future maintenance issues.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
Replace the W10846191 washplate when your washer is showing washer-specific performance issues such as:
-
Poor agitation or wash action — clothes remain clumped or still during the cycle.
-
Excessive spinning without cleaning — plate spins freely without engaging laundry motion.
-
Visible cracks, wear, or stripped splines on the washplate.
-
Loud clicking or grinding noises during the wash cycle.
