Click noise during fast agitation?

[blockeight88]

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">1996 Kenmore direct drive. Model number: 11092597200, serial CF1348209. </span>

 

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Noticing a clicking noise whenever I wash heavy loads, preferably on fast agitation. Its annoying. Yes the machine is thoroughly insulated with sound deadener. Noise seems prevalent during the wash cycle, then goes after after the first spin.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Also if I run the washer on spin first, then turn it on and wash like usual, I don't get the click. Inspected all internal components and everything is good. Any suggestions? </span>

1978 Maytag automatic leaking water

I have a1978 Maytag automatic and there seems to be a bit of water on the floor from the right front of the washer. No oil in the wash or rinse water. What could it be?
Thanks, Gary

^what does that have to do with my question?

Anyone got any idea what the clicking noise is? Or maybe I just need to live with it.

DD agitation noise:

Is nothing to worry about. I've heard it many times, it wont hurt anything.

Oh I know it won’t hurt anything but I am a “why” person and want to know what causes this.

KM DD Noise:

AFAIK it is from the suspension as the washer's chassis is rocking back and forth with the agitation strokes. I have heard similar sound during spin on these machines, it's normal.

Suspension

How come I don’t hear the clicking noise after the first spin and into the rinse agitation then ?

Direct Dr., Kenmore washer, clicking noise

During agitation, hi Matt,

There’s really no way anybody else can diagnose accurately these noises that you keep hearing with your machines if it bothers you you really just need to take the cabinet off and sit there and watch it. Use the stethoscope techniques and figure out what’s causing the noise, it’s pointless to keep making posts about it when people are not with the machine.

Don’t take this as being negative as i like help people with their machine problems,

John

John I have done all that. Seems to be coming from the clutch or transmission and both are fine. Clutch is new. Transmission is rebuilt. So I don’t know

It's possible it was the u clip securing the clutch. I'm not sure but I don't think it was down all the way and locked in right.
