I tried uploading a video/audio created on my phone, but was rejected as not allowed. It is an MP4 format.
This sounds like something is hung down in the wash pump and motor assembly: Link to part W10428168 PUMP&MOTOR | Genuine Whirlpool OEM In Stock
I kinda hate to spend that kind of money on them thin. Works well other than that. Just gets too loud. And with some new ones on sale now for 500 to 800, maybe not money well spent.
Anyway removed the screen cover, hoping to find something stuck, but only found that spinning what I think is connected to the dump/drive, it rotates a tad rough, rotating it by hand.
Safe to assume that is pretty much the part linked to earlier? Does it some with needed gaskets, or are they out of stock?
