I have replaced the coupler on my washer, but it is still making a constant, not very loud but distinct, high pitch whine. Not so much a grind as a whine. What do I check for next? It washes fine (spins, drains, etc.), it just makes this noise whenever the basket or agitator moves, and it is more distinct on spin.
TIA

If it's a whine whenever the motor starts, I would pull the motor out, leave it connected electrically, and see if it still whines when it runs. If so, look fore something stuck in the motor, like a busted coupler piece. Also, make sure the coupler end pieces are fully driven in.

Only makes noise during motion. It makes steady noise. How far should the coupler be seated? I was told only until the shaft was even with the face.

In fact, there was no change to sound at all after I change the coupler. The only different notice was that the agitator moves better now, per the Mrs.
