Washer was working great until we moved, and now ever since then it makes that noise when it is in the agitates? We did not lay it on it’s side, we used a dolly to move it to it’s new location. I really need the help to fix! Everything else runs fine spins great and filled fine, just happens when it washes the clothes.
It could be the pump bearing. Tilt the washer back. Look underneath and take the belt off. The pulley on the pump is metal. try turning with your hand both ways. If it grinds that is problem.Sometimes something works it’s way into the pump assembly, this will make a clicking or scraping noise. When the motor drive coupler starts to wear down, the washer may also become noisy. Also make sure that there is nothing between the agitator and the tub that could cause it to grind. Make sure your washer is leveled. http://www.justanswer.com/appliance/42wc… mayhelp you as well as http://www.applianceaid.com/direct.html good luck
I had the same problem after I moved. I found out the cause was when I used a hand truck to move the machine it pushed the thin metal bottom of the machine up just enough to to contact the moving parts making a metal on metal grinding noise. I took the front panel off and pushed the metal back down- problem solved.
There is a plastic cap on top of your agitator inside there are plastic “dawgs” that are rigid like a gear which grips the shaft when agitating. anyway they may have been bumped loose.there should be three or four in there. use one of those links that old turkey put in his reply to show you how to replace them.
direct drive, no belt or pulley. go to sears parts with mo no and see breakdown. worked on plenty of them. cant think what it would be. Update ‘‘‘direct drive, no belt or pulley. go to sears parts with mo no and see breakdown. worked on plenty of them. cant think what it would be.’’’ THE WHOLE SKIN/OUTER CABINET COMES OFF TO WORK ON IT AND TO SEE THE MECHANISM. START BY REMOVING 2 SCREWS THAT HOLD CONTROL PANEL ON – ONE ON EA END. LOOK AT BREAKDOWN!
See if your insurance company can pay and you pay excess Sometimes excess is same or Close to the repair cost
We had the same problem moving with dolly. We got great advice. We took off the front panal, banged it down with hammer, problem solved!!! Thank you so much!
