My first guess would be a bad bearing. If it is howling all the time (during agitate and spin) I would say either the pump bearing or the motor bearing is at fault. A new motor would be rather costly but a pump shouldn't be too bad. Also, it is a howling noise and not a squealing noise right? If it's squealing a new belt would be needed (very inexpensive). If there is something else to check, others will chime in. |

Jaime if it heard during the spin is it possible the cermamic disc/seal the tub rides on could be wearing? |

I did a quick check on pricing for the pump, about $57.50 and shipping. I checked the cost for a motor, about $198 and shipping. Not bad really. Any suggestions of good places to go for parts? I think I would prefer to get new, rather than used. Thanks, Neal Lewis |

I've always had fantastic service buying parts from Repairclinic.com. Just type in the info on your machine, make, model, appliance type, etc and then it'll help you find the part. I would suggest being careful about which pump you get, make sure it looks like the one you have. Whirlpool now makes Amana washers and dryers and their machines are very different from yours! It would also be cheaper to buy the dryer thermostat at the same time so they can be shipped together. |

Thanks. I checked the place. Looks good. They only list one pump for the washer so I think I would be pretty safe. Your note about getting all the parts for both machines at the same time is good advice. Thanks again to everyone. Neal Lewis |
