Oops.. Noticed it's only 3 months old. I'd try running another load and if that doesn't work, call for service. | ||

Noisey SQ TL Washer Try running the machine through another cycle, with nothing in it if you like.
It is easy to take the washer front panel off if you like and see if the noise is coming from the water pump. It is also easy to remove the hoses from the pump [ they have screw type clamps ] but it really will not do you much good. Taking the water pump off the motor is a PITA, I do not recommend any one try it unless they have to [ it is usually easier to remove the entire motor assembly if you need to replace or service the water pump ]
The good news is that the washer is under warranty if the little part of the jacket does not dislodge itself from the pump and go down the drain. | ||

Well it makes sense you'd hear it during agitation. The pump is always running as long as the motor is on. I'd attempt to drain it down as that might flush it out. Letting it agitate will probably just make it worse. | ||

most service guys will work with you, especially on warranty repairs, especially if they don't note any sort of major damage/abuse....
something like this, and it could be that zipper part, they will log it in as a defective pump, and put on a replacement..... problem solved!..... I have a Fler, and over time the electric pump will get noisy , well THAT is not covered as long as it still works, so the guy just marked it down as non-functioning, and ordered a replacement...he gets paid either way.... like others have said, not worth having a disgruntled customer over something simple...... keep us posted as to how you make out.... not to be judgmental, but those under wire bras can cause havoc on pumps......can't count how many jams I had to clear from one of those.....even with a mesh bag, those things will still find their way out....I am constantly checking the pockets from the kids, preventative maintenance is what I call it....lol | ||

>I'd just request a service call for strange noises and you are afraid it will cause damage until checked out.
Agreed. I would avoid mentioning the zipper hook. Why give fuel for a fire of argument that "it's not Speed Queen's problem?" Although, personally, to a degree I'd almost argue that perhaps there is a design flaw here. I don't know much about the realities of top load design; however I think it's not unreasonable to expect incidents like this to occur. Even with care, stuff can break in the wash. And so it seems reasonable that a pump system should be designed with that thought in mind. | ||
