Maytag Neptune Makes Clicking Sound During Wash Cycle

Our Maytag Neptune makes a moderate, intermittent, clicking sound during the wash cycle. This problem seems worse with larger loads. Although the washer is old, it still works and cleans well and this noise is the only problem. I have read some information that suggests that this is a bearing problem, but not the usual "worn out" bearings. The information suggests that the noise is caused by the drum shifting forward and back axially during the wash cycle. There is a very inexpensive kit to remedy this problem, but I just want to verify what the problem is before I proceed. If the washer actually needs new bearings, I think we would just buy a new machine. Thanks for any help!

If you failed to use the special detergent for front loaders, you probably have failing tub bearings. You can confirm by turning the spin basket. If you can feal "rough" bearings, they need to be replaced. If you feal and hear a clunking noise, you have a busted spin basket spider support. Either one of these problems are expensive to fix. If ok, shine a light in the basket and look for a bra band stuck in one of the holes in the basket. If nothing, you can remove the front bottom panel and pull the tub drain hose to look for something in there that causes the noise. Post results.
