• The pulsator is placed at the bottom of the drum of the washing 
machine, which is an essential component to move the garments 
around during the wash cycle. To ensure a complete washing, it 
moves back and forth, producing water currents that raise and tumble 
the garments. Debris, fabric softener or detergent leftovers get 
collected under the pulsator over time causing foul smells or reducing 
washing performance. Sometimes the pulsator can wear out or 
shatter and needs to be replaced.
• Removal of the pulsator is a proper solution to these problems, 
whether it needs to be repaired or cleaned the machine. Even though 
you will not do it regularly, understanding removing the part is 
essential to maintain the excellent operation of your washing 
machine.

• Step 1: Unplug the Washing Machine
Safety always comes as a priority. Before starting any repair, remove the 
washing machine's plug from an electrical outlet. By following this step 
you can work on the internal parts without worrying about getting any 
electric shock.
• Step 2: Remove the Agitator Cap or Bolt Cover
Take off the cover or cap that is located in the pulsator's center. A head 
screwdriver can be used to remove the cap effortlessly from the LG 
washing machine which is screwed in. If it's secured with a 
straightforward clip, then remove it gently with a flat tool like a butter 
knife or flathead screwdriver.

• Step 3: Loosen and Remove the Pulsator Bolt
When the cap is removed, you can see the bolt which has secured the 
pulsator. The bolt can be removed and loosened with the help of a 
socket wrench. It can be a little tight, so take time and press firmly. Store 
the bolts in a container so that they can’t get lost.
• Step 4: Lift the Pulsator Out
After removing the bolt, the pulsator can be carefully lifted out of the 
machine drum. If it gets stuck then don't put force to remove it. Years of 
usage lead to the collection of filth which is difficult to remove. Wiggle 
the pulsator back and forth or take the help of a soft cloth to take a better 
hold and carefully remove it. After removing it, check if dirt or debris 
accumulated and needs to be cleaned from the place under the pulsator.

• Step 5: Clean or Replace the Pulsator
If you are taking out the pulsator for cleaning purposes, it is time to clean 
both the pulsator and the space under it. Use a soft cloth, warm water 
and some detergent to remove dirt or leftovers. If the pulsator is 
damaged then replace it immediately. Make sure to get the correct 
replacement part for a particular LG model that you have.
• Step 6: Reinstall the Pulsator
To reinstall, follow the reverse of the removal steps. Use a socket 
wrench, secure the pulsator with the bolt after lining it up with the central 
post and place the drum back into the machine. After placing the bolt 
tightly, replace the cap or cover. Plug the machine back in, and now you 
can start doing laundry again.
