So I Just picked up this set. They have very low use. My question is the washer makes a loud bang when the spin cycle finishes. Is this normal? I went in knowing the dryer didn't work. I've checked the door switch I'm suspecting the start button. Will post pics tomorrow.

Yes that loud bang at the end of it spinning is normal.  That's the brake stopping the machine.

You are going to love them. Do you have all the acessories? Filter-flo pan? Mini-basket (if so equipped), fabric softener dispenser? Can't wait to see them.

Filter flo owner here as well....i am sure you'll be entuxhiast with them.....
The final spin bang used to scare me at times when not expecting it....very normal though and sometimes it's louder than others, nothing but a good sign though.......
Looking forward to the pics....

Accessories

 Hi tecnopolis: it is missing the mini basket and softener dispenser. I already love them. Have run about 5 loads through it while sitting on the patio. Great turnover action. The washer is pretty top of the line. 10 cycles 2 speeds. The dryer is M.O.L and not working yet.

Congratulations on those machines! BTW-

 If you can get a couple pics of the machines posted more than likely someone on here will be able to guide you in obtaining those other pieces if you are interested in getting them.
They would also probably be able to give you some assistance with what you need to do to get the dryer back up and running.

Thanks wash daddy. Yeah I hope to acquire the accessories. It's pretty nice 10 cycle with soak and extra clean cycle
