Washer agitates, but makes horrible grinding noise. Spins okay.
Washer fills, but when it starts to agitate it makes a terribly loud grinding noise. Removed all the clothes, still made that terrible noise. Switched to spin cycle and it drained and spun just fine.
Solved my own problem! Upon removing the agitator, we found a tiny metal jewelry piece in the groove between the plastic inner tub and the metal inner that the agitator connects to. Hope this helps someone else sometime. Glad I didn't pay GE $80 to come look at it.Solved my own problem!

Recently my Whirlpool washer would not spin and started making clicking noise when it tried to spin. I replaced the motor coupler and now it spins, But, it still makes that clicking noise during the spin cycle. It drains & agitates fine. It looks as if the agitator is slipping during the spin cycle. Could this be a clutch or brake issue?Recently my Whirlpool washer would not spin and started making clicking noise when it tried to spin.

If the agitator can be moved freely by hand, you probably have a stripped bell, which is the small plastic dome that the agitator is attached to. Maybe hear a grinding noise in agitation from under the agitator?
It takes a large amount of force to pull the agitator straight off to access the bell, which has one small bolt securing it to the transmission shaft. Bell is a fairly inexpensive part. Not saying this is your problem, but would check this first, as it is a common repair. good luck
Hi, Do you know if the washer spins at all?
It sounds like the coupler has gone bad.
Please let me know if it spins at all.
I can send yyou instructions on changing the coupler.
The drum/agitator bearings are bad I believe, or the gearbox has been damaged. This is an expensive repair. I would strongly consider buying a new washer. This is a great time to buy appliances since the stores are really competing, and the prices are at their lowest.
Your transmission has gone out. The reason the spin cycle works is because the transmission spins two different ways and you agitate way stripped the gear. Some places rebuild them. Try with your local stores maybe they can rebuild it or get you a good used one. If not you can order a new one from sears.com
If the fill and drain functions correctly, AND the spin cycle works correctly, AND the cycle itself starts and completes correctly, the problem being that the back and forth motion of the agitator starts the loud grinding noise, it will likley be broken gears in the transmission. The single most expensive part in the washing machine.
