Whirlpool WPW10582914 Washing Machine Washplate

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10582914 is a direct-replacement washplate designed for top-load washing machines. The washplate sits at the bottom of the spin basket and oscillates back and forth during the wash cycle to move the load through the water. This motion is what drives agitation without a traditional agitator post. At 1 pound and measuring 16.94 x 16.44 x 5.5 inches, this part is sized for full-depth basket installations. It is typically installed by appliance service technicians or experienced DIYers comfortable with washer basket disassembly.

This washplate is intended for use in top-load washers that use a low-profile impeller-style wash system rather than a tall agitator. These systems are common in high-efficiency top-load models where the basket uses the full drum depth for load capacity. When the washplate wears, cracks, or loses its drive connection, wash performance drops and loads may not circulate properly. Replacing the washplate restores normal wash motion and load distribution.

Installation Notes

Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before beginning any service work. Work gloves are recommended to protect hands during basket disassembly and washplate removal. This repair typically requires removing the basket cap and basket drive components to access the washplate mounting. A licensed appliance technician should perform this repair if the technician is unfamiliar with washer basket disassembly procedures.
