Evening, folks!

I have a wonderful late 70's GE Filter Flo from one of our generous members here. It's been a great machine, and still is, but is making a new noise.

It's making a "clunka" noise as it agitates, in the body of the washer. It's doing its job just fine, but makes this noise during agitation as well as spin. I don't know anything about appliances other than to admire them, keep them tidy, show them off, and take pics/vids of them.

Would you be willing to take a listen to this quick video of my wash cycle and give me your thoughts, before I go further? I love having information/opinion before I call a professional...

Many thanks!

It's really hard to troubleshoot from just hearing a noise on a video. Can you pull the machine out and take off the back and see if anything obvious is hitting something?

Sounds like the suspension plate is hitting the damper yoke. It should be positioned between the 2 pads. Could have happened when it was moved?

You're right, Robert--I should have taken a lookie-loo to start with. I thought someone might have heard this noise before on their FF and chimed in "Oh, that's the ____ and here's how I dealt with it."

But maybe this a sign to take off the back cover and stretch myself! Unplugged, of course. I'll report back.

Thanks!
