Consistent knocking noise heard on each rotation when in spin & spin-rinse cycle. Clothes come out slightly more wet than normal. Replaced drive block.....nothing looked even the slightest bit worn (even the old drive block looked OK-some corrosion but looked good) I purchased a drive block guessing it would do the trick

Put back together...... same knock. Springs are good. I rotated the shaft manually when it was all taken apart....felt smooth and tight- no discernable click or hang up.

Any ideas? Gimme the next 5 things I should consider with #6 being cash the old beast in a get a new one.

Thank you Oh Wise Masters
