Terrible noise when agitating

check belt under unit if ok check under agitator for bad cog splines

Can you describe the problem more better? Does it still agitate properly? Have you checked the balance of the tub? I believe you have a bent agitator shaft.

with it empty need to look at the bottom of the unit and see if the pulley and belt setup is bad.. my sisters un it broke the pulley and hers is newer..seems they dont make them to last anymore..

check back of unit as the concrete on the back may of been dislodged check not over loaded also the belt maybe loose or streached

check your motor coupling, it is between the motor and tranny

REPL/ PUMP GRINDING NOISE IS BROKEN IMPEELER INSIDE PUMP SHOULD FIX PROBLEM

THAT COULD BE A BROKEN or LOOSE SCREW THAT HOLDS THE INNER TUB in the Center mast, hope this helps AJ

thanks for posting problem solve :0)

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.

If you begin dissassembly from the tub down, you wil come to the transmission with the spindle sticking out of it. If you undo the bendable tabs all around the transmission it comes apart in two halves. Careful, its full of oil. The spindle has a plastic gear bolted to the bottom of it. It meshes with other gears in the tranny. It has sheered teath and is making the noise.
