Whirlpool washer agitates but makes a very loud noise

Are you sure it’s agitating? If it isn’t agitating or spinning, then motor coupler is most likely broken. If it is actually agitating, but not spinning, clutch may be bad or article of clear thing could be lodged between basket and tub.

Sounds like the bearing on the drum has gone , open the door and see if you have any play on the drum by moving it side to side and up and down good luck

Take a look at this tip I wrote on the no agitate or spin condition of your washer.

Sounds like a transmission problem. Not worth the repair judging from age.

the transmission

check the motor bushes,and also check for bearings in drum you can check this by lifting the inner drum up and down if you feel a knocking noise then this will be the bearings have worn.

do you notice if it agitates?
if it doesnt agitate it is just a simple coupling
if it is making a humm noise its the motor
if a LOUD rumble ONLY on spin cycle, its the basket drive assembly and the clutch.

Well, Sounds to me like the Bearings are going out, but it could make that noise a good while, before it goes completely out.. Replacement would possably be more cost effective, Kinda hard to beleive !!!!!!
