Agitator occasionally comes loose during cycle..
While that trait can't touch the Exploding LG for sheer drama, I'll bet it makes some racket.
At some point early in the days of direct drive, Whirlpools did a spin-drain. Is this one of those? Too bad we can't see inside, as those particular machines had a very GE-looking...jeez, what is that guard-thingy called around the top of the tub that stops small items from going overboard during a spin-drain? My brain must be in the "Sunday off" mode, LOL. | ||

Clothes retainer is the little guard your referring to....it is unique to see one of these on a Whirly......
I found a D2000 along the road a few weeks back.....the agitator has the removable top with the Maytag like filter system, the screen was torn, and the grip to the post was weak, so it always popped off, the only logical thing to do at this time was remove the bolt from the agitator, place the top portion in place, add a larger washer to the bolt, and replace, at least its solid for now.....someday I will locate another top section that fits/works....... I am impressed for this not having a DualAction at what great rollover it has compared to other single agitator designs....... and of course its unique spin-drain, with the rare spray rinse in the first and LAST spin..... | ||

Yeah, this is a spin drain or, as the Sears Guys liked to call them, a 'direct in to spin' model. Too hard on the transmission internals so the neutral drain was quickly used. I always got a kick out of going out on one after another company fixed it and now had a no spin complaint. They'd put the newer neutral drain trans in and think it was done while forgetting the timer was still a spin drain one...
