When I had my KitchenAid front loaders, a friend's bra strap got caught inbetween the inner and outer tubs. It took a few loads to loosen it enough and it eventually broke down into small particles that went into the button catcher where I was able to remove it. It sounds to me like you have something either caught inbetween the tubs or something like a screw stuck in one of the tub perferations.I would get a flashlight and check all the holes in the tub first.

not during spin Doesn't seem to make a sound during spin.
I'll check about the foreign object. | ||

They replaced the motor They did replace the motor and it works MUCH better than before. Damage to the drum is possible. | ||

NOISEY WASHER The drum, spider, bearings & water seal have no connection to the motor on a WP FL washer and problems with these items will not cause motor problems [ unless water is leaking from the main shaft area on the motor ] so you could have a separate problem. To everyone it is very difficult to diagnose problems on the internet and much more so if you don't give out the model and serial #s thanks. | ||

If the grinding Is most pronounced at the start of the drum revolving, it could possibly be a worn or damaged belt, which would be very cheap and easy to replace. Matt | ||

Grinding noise Perhaps not necessarily grinding, but I've know them to make a sort of scraping noise. | ||
