Panasonic Washing Machine (NA-F70S7) pulsator was stuck / jammed due to accumulated dirt and rusted. However, the drum was dirty, and it needs a cleaning service.
Many approaches had been found online and I had tried most of them but yet still failed to dismantle the pulsator (and its bush!) from the washing machine.
Example:
- Use a string to pull out the pulsator
- Use special tools to remove the pulsator
- Use heat gun to heat up the pulsator's bush (if you managed to unscrew and removed the pulsator)
Finally, I decided to use my own way, with replacement needed for pulsator and mechanism gear unit.
