Didn't you just buy this machine about a month ago? Its not bearings or a spider in a month... Keep running it and keep an ear on it. I'd bet something in the suspension was making a little noise. Having it happen once isn't a problem, keep using it and if it continues then you may need to call for warranty service eventually.
Its easy to get paranoid when you start searching the Interwebs for a problem like this. Every time I look at WebMD I'm sure I have a terminal disease! lol | ||

@kb0nes Thanks! Its actually 11 months old. And I do think as well, it also might be suspension consdering how much it vibrates (on the second floor of a wood framed house). I will keep an eye and an ear on it and I will keep you guys posted if it continues. | ||

Well if it's less than a year, it should be under warranty, at least here in the States we have a 1 year warranty. Not sure about what is offered in Canada. I would certainly want it on record there was a potential problem befroe the time ran out. | ||

I remember a few years ago
my OLD duet was squeaking on and off as the drum rotated one way using Sanitary....but then it stopped squeaking for months, then it started again (it wasn't a horrible squeak, but you could hear it. It stopped again on its own. I haven't heard it since. This was like 3 years ago or so....I never heard any clicks though as I turned the drum.

@mark_wpduet Thats a little ironic. Because it was on the Eco Sanitize with oxi cycle when it did this. | ||

Just did a load and... It did it again. The sound seems like its coming from the back of the unit towards the tub assemebly. Next time we do a load I'm going to be ready to film it. | ||

I should also state that during the vibration test while spinning empty at full speed (1200RPM) it did not make this noise when it finished the drain and spin cycle. | ||

Is it like a whistling sound? Like if you made a whistling sound through your teeth but just fainter? And it mostly happens on the slower tumble of the rinse? B | ||

It almost sounded like
the chirp of a bird when the drum would rotate (like a quick chirp). Never during a spin, but just during tumbling and I believe it was just ONE way, not both ways. I heard it a few times during sanitary, but not during the entire cycle, and I think I also heard it in another cycle during one of the rinses. But I haven't heard it in a long time now, so whatever it was, it went away...
