The drain pump Part number: 3363394 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool LSR5232LQ0 WASHER - DIRECT DRIVE | AppliancePartsPros.com Good luck. Post the results. Simon.

Well I was planning on just getting rid of it but to my surprise when I did put it back together it stopped the noise ... I'm stumped on why this worked ... Thanks for your help
