I have an avanti w797 washing machine. The bottom plate has come loose because the screw is broken. When the water fill the plate lifts and floats in the water so my clothes don't turn while washing they just sit in the water. I want to know how to replace the screw so that the plate can be re-secured and my clothes can wash properly. Thank you in advance for any answers.

SOURCE: Avanti W797 Combo Washer and Dryer............Does not fill with enough water to wash clothes. It will runn the cycles with some water, but clothes do not all even get wet????? How can I correct the p

I have this problem too. Called the repair man out to the house & he just told me it was set at the factory & there was nothing he could do. I discovered if I held the water level knob between the settings given, water would run to the level I wanted as long as I held it in place, but I don't know if this does any damage to the machine. So I don't know if you want to try that or if it can even be done on your model???

Check your drive mechanism further, something caused it to come unscrewed. I would go deeper and see if I could find anything that could be out of balance or worn, that would have caused the screws to come out.
