Top loader direct drive washer filling up with water. Makes a terrible whine/clicking/metal sound and does not agitate. I had to turn on the rinse cycle to get the water out...makes same noise while water empties. No spin cycle either.
Sounds as if you have a bad mootor coupling, part number 285753, easy enough part to change, easier to search on the you tube site for whirlpool motor coupling repair, fo rthe video, then try to explain procedure, but definalty easy enough repair for home owner
See Part # 13 This coupling kit is used between the motor and the transmission on direct drive washers with no belt. This is the newer version and is made with new metal sleeves for added strength.

I am having a very similar problem, but can't even get the thing to drain. Same washer model. Thanks.
Thanks a lot. This was my first time ever working on a washer and I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable repairs I've made in a while. I'm talking maybe 35 minutes tops. Absolute piece of cake and I've saved a couple hundred bucks during Xmas season which is a bonus. The new coupling is reinforced by metal which will last longer. 19 bucks and when it was in stock I knew I was onto something...the local Maytag/Whirlpool repair shop said these fail all the time. Great site! Will use again and recommend to friends!!!
Whirlpool Washer makes grinding clicking noise spin cycles and others do not work.
after pressing start button, does not fill; no obstruction to water flow; also makes noise like money loose in a dryer
when I turn on my washer it would not fill makes a sound and E9 is display would not set on timer
makes a buzzing sound when filling with water
