    It’s the plastic end of the 4 anchors that keep the basket in the air. Pop off the top of the lid and you’ll see them. They are a pale blue if I remember correctly. Spray wd40 then use a long clamping-wrench to rotate the bar (it’s the only place you can barely grab) so that the lubricant gets into the socket. It doesn’t need to be turned 360°, just make sure to get enough. Don’t forget to slide a paper towel or 2 under each corner you do because it’s basically hollow till the floor. I had not problem after that. It will still make some noise every once in a while, but that was so much easier and cheeper than if you called someone to fix it. They’d probably want you to take out the drum and replace the 4, which is not worth it money wise. Let me know-Cheers!

    hi i have an Amana washing machine not digital about 4 years old that was working: filled, spun, and drained but was making a lot of noise when agitating.I popped off the cap. It was a one piece agitator with one bolt so i used a socket wrench with a 7/16 nut. uscrewed it removed the agitator, checked it under the light for any ground teeth, rotated and rocked the inner drum side to side and all around: there is supposed to be a lot of room(5 inches in eather direction) and picked up/put down the drum from neck about a half an inch.Rotated the drum then put the agitator back, tightened the bolt and now it is quiet hope this helps

    Once upon a time a washer and dryer would last decades. Whirlpool bought up the competition (still uses brand names). Our Whirlpool HE has the squealing belt problem after two years. I was suspicious that two weeks after buying the unit, Whirlpool sends ads to buy the overpriced three year extended warranty.

    Sounds like it was just out of balance. Pause the machine, open the lid and evenly rearrange the sheets around the tub so the weight is spread evenly. Usually bulky items tend to weigh to one side after agitation, then when it spins it is off balance and the tub hits the sides of the washer walls.

    Hi, I have a Whirlpool Washer Model: WTW50000W1. A few weeks ago we started hearing a sound similar to bearings or beads from a badazled shirt of one of our kids. The sound happens when the washer is draining I think. I hear it spinning as well. I did pull the cap to the white cover agitator at the bottom of the bowl. It was clean as a whistle. Any Ideas or recommendations. I did see a video about the pump could cause sounds but it did not give examples. The sound is not loud. Just annoying. The washer works properly. It would not be cost effective to hire a repair person. I'd like to fix it myself if possible. The unit is 4 years old.

    Sounds like something got in the drain pump. It’s fairly easy to remove and see if that’s the problem. Better to extract whatever it is before it damages an impeller. When the pump fails, your wash water won’t drain properly and can dump out the bottom of the washer. Pumps are fairly cheap if you need to replace.

Try it with very few articles of light clothing (like underwear or t-shirts) and avoid putting in heavy things like blankets, towels, or rugs. If it doesn't bang during the spin cycle, you know you overloaded your machine. If it does bang, then your springs could be loose or broken. I hope this helps!
