My washer is making a horrible sound when it is agitating. the dogs are worn down or broken. they were replaced about 2 years ago. When it is agitating it makes a grinding type noise and stops a little and starts again almost like there is something blocking it. sometimes all of the water is not drained out and the clothes do not get spun out very well. Is this just because the dogs need to be replaced or is something else causing this and this is why the dogs wore out so quickly?
The dogs have nothing to do with drain/spin. Sounds like you may have something inside the drain pump that could be making the noise and causing the motor to operate erratically.
