I have a top loading whirlpool which runs all the way through all cycles. As the spin cycle ends although it makes a loud clicking/ratchiting sound until it comes to a stop. Any help will be appreciated. Steve

Check the spin basket, does it feel loose?

The resistance seems normal.

You were correct-it was the drive block. The tabs on the spin tube needed to be bent back out as well. Thank You!

Be careful if you have this problem. If you let it go too long, the tabs on the spin tube will get a slant and it will require replacement of the spin tube, a messy job with turbine oil and $68 cost for new spin tube. Best to use the special spanner wrench for this job.
