Well I found out what all the scraping was during the spin cycle...the sump guard metal seems to be warping and the screws from the paddles are scraping it...and actually chewed through a piece of it...in consulting the service manual, there is an additional piece of metal missing that looks like it would hold the piece down that is being scraped by the paddles...and to fix it the tub has to come out...(not a fun process according to the service manual)

You must get some really nice rust spots on your clothes by using it. | ||

The little plastic bag has all of the parts and printed installation instructions. | ||

Seems like the last one I remember was made out of plastic and not metal, but that's been a while. | ||

No, you operate through the opening behind one of the vanes that you remove to access the outer tub. It is a shame, though, that these types of failures were emblematic of the cheap scale of construction of the machines. | ||

I think old WH part numbers had a Q in front of the number with no space. Maybe you could try searching that way. | ||

Why couldn't you just make one out of plastic? That was what the last ones I saw were made of. | ||

in the theory of physics, it seems like it would work without that baffle or coin guard in place.....not true....
they each have a purpose you can't go without.....the baffle alone forces the water while spinning into the sump area, without it, it will just pass right over top of it, never to be drained.... and of course the screen guard protects the pump from coins and foreign matter....without the baffle, it wont stay in place, as in Jerry's case, it floated up and made contact with the inner drum..... I had this with a tall tumbler once, I used an "L" bracket, drilled holes, and used that to create a new baffle and hold down for the guard....some silicone kept everything drip and rust free... sometimes you have to improvise..... | ||

The question I have is the black baffle on the left in the pic is missing from my machine...that looks like it is welded to the outer tub and is the piece the bracket would fix...mabye on mine when it broke they just took it out, leaving the baffle on the right that screws into the sump..

Bracket kit, The bracket kit is to repair the bracket that is under the large baffle plate, not the part welded to the tub that holds down the left side of the baffle plate. I have never run into a problem with that part on the left side of the baffle. If that part has been removed, you should be able to see where it was welded to the tub. | ||

I removed the right aluminum plate and the bracket is securely attached to the tub. There is no evidence of the left black plate ever attached to the outer tub. What I will do on the edge of the aluminum plate that was chewed up by the paddle screws is attach it to the outer tub with stainless steel screws and seal it up. That will keep the edge flat with the outer tub...(hope it works!)
