Clothes stuck under the agitator

What if there are clothes stuck under the agitator ? How do you disassemble it ? cabrio washer

  • angelarey Jan 12, 2009

    Problems arent the pocket items. My apron ties get caught, tank top straps, socks, JEANS get wrapped a sucked into that area. I too have the same problems. I guess its just this machine that EATS clothing.

You really have clothes stuck under the "wash plate" it has almost zero clearance and would be very hard to get something stuck under the wash plate.
if you do have something stuck, then remove the 1 1/2 inch cap in the center of the plate, then a 7/16th bolt that holds the plate down. then grab the wash plate and lift up to remove it.
next time check your pockets and dont let this happen again, it could ruin the outertub by cutting a hole thru it and then leaking.

The clothes do not go under the plate they spin out of the top and fall over the side, this is because socks and underwear are either overloaded or spun out, this can be solved by reducing the load size and also spinning small clothing items on lower speeds, but the solution above is very helpful for getting the clothes out, but you will need a long pair of needle nose pliars to pull the clother out of the bottom of the tub. This problem presented itself by a "LD" error (long drain) Thanks tzweeb and I hope this helps others

How to remove clothes stuck under agitator

the agitator should pull straight up, you may have to twist it back and forth as you pull upward. when you put it back on make sure its all the way down and in place, this may be the reason your clothes are getting stuck under it.

  • Pull the liquid softener dispenser off the top of the agitator. Pull the clear plastic cap out of the center of the agitator.

Pull the bottom half of the agitator straight up to remove it from the drive motor shaft, and remove the bottom half of the agitator from the Cabrio washer.

    My problem is the agiator tears my clothes what is wrong this does not happen everytime just sometime and ravels towels?

    Perhaps you need to remove the agitator and look under it for objects that do not belong.
    In the past I have found items of clothing and such.

    My top load 4.5 cubic whirl pool cabrio washer does not seem to clean my clothes. it almost acts like there is not enough water

    your agitating belt might be slipping or worn, try holding the switch down with a pencil, and keeping the lid open and see if the agitator is moving or sluggish..good luck.

    Cloth stuck under agitator in washing machine.

    there is a bolt under the fabric softner dispenser (if you have one) if not, its a plastic cap on the top of your agitator which pops off by hand or a butter knife.. then there is a bolt under there that holds the unit down..grap the bottom of your agitator and loosen the bolt and remove it...then lift up carefully on the whole thing..careful not to loose the seal and bolt to put the agitator back in place....good luck..

    Cabrio washer wont drain

    Hello, LD stands for long drain.
    If all the water isn't out of the unit within a certain time, the ld will flash.
    Could be 2 things.

    1) There's lint stuck in the pump preventing the water to drain properly or

    2) You're using too much soap causing lots of suds also preventing the pump from draining properly. If this is the case, what you need to do is run the washer on full load with no detergent and clothes. Let it go thru the cycle and get rid of eccess suds. This is most likely your problem.

    Best of luck :)
