pump likely cause sounds like something in the pump,though usually that will knock clear when motor runs the other way-just unclip the pump and disengage from motor to test.the only motor fault that could cause the noise is something rubbing on the motor's rotor fins,but that should happen at both speeds. | ||

I'll tear it down and check the pump. I've done two loads with the noise to see if it changed and it hasn't. That's several directional cycles... | ||

PUMP NOISE | ||

As it turns out, it needs a pump again. It's been a little less than a year since the last one, and I only do about 2-3 loads a week! Grrr! It leaks a little bit every load now. Is there something I did, or did I just get a bad pump? | ||

probably just a bad pump as long as both clips are in place and all four locating pegs are there really can't mess up though if motor shaft is badly rusted impeller may wobble and cause seal leakage-also best to use genuine FSP parts. | ||

It was a genuine FSP, and everything installed smoothly and properly when I put it in. There's no play in the motor shaft. | ||

NOISEY DD WASHER PUMP
I have never seen a noisey pump on a DD washer that did not have a foreign object caught in it. Either keep using the machine the object will often work it self out or if you do replace it crack the old one open along where its heat welded together and see what you are getting caught in it. If you are careful and a little lucky breaking the old pump open you may be able to epoxy it back together and reuse it I did this with several Calypso pumps and they worked fine.

It needs a new pump, not because of noise, but because it's leaking at the shaft seal. The last load I did made a 1' puddle. I won't do another until I change the pump. | ||
