My Matag LAT's make a sort of winding down, kind of noise that is hard to explain, but I think its normal as I have heard 3 of these make the noise. Its almost a slight whistle but not really and the faster it spins the deeper the tone and quieter it gets until its no longer heard at full spin speed. |

I don't think I would worry too much about the noise if it is not that bad.
IMEO they never fixed those water pumps for long term durability, we still see plenty of the last design pumps with failed bearings, it was just a bad design to use such a short shaft and one bearing. The only fairly durable pump EVER used in a Norge built AW was in the mid to late 1960s when it was a four port Bakelite construction with two bearings.
It is interesting how MT could build a washer with the most durable pump ever for so many years and a design like Norge just couldn't get it right from the very beginnings of their AWs. |

The noise mine makes sounds like that but allot quieter, but it can't be the thrust bearing, seeing that I just replaced the thrust bearing on it because of a slow spin problem...which seems to be resolved |

It seemed to only have about 5 parts from what I can remember, which models had more than that? the black thrust bearings? i know the thrust bearings are usually yellow but on my older style Crosley 20 pound capacity washer it had a black pulley/thrust bearing... |
