Washing Machine Noise....

[11-87]

The agitator quit working on my whirlpool washer (toploader) i knew that in the past, the gears (dogs) were probably the problem.  

 

Got a new set of "dogs" put the agitator all together, and get a loud noise when the agitator goes around.   

 

I took off the whole agitator, and ther was no noise at all when it ran.  Very quiet.  

 

I put the bottom half back on bolted it down and get a small clunking noise when it turns.  

 

Put the top half on, and still get the noise.

 

Could the bottom 1\2 of agitator be worn? 

 

Not sure what is causing this crazy noise.

You may have a direct drive machine.  Look under and see if the coupler between the motor and transmission is broken.  It will be two white plastic disc with a rubber disc in between.
