 State the model & serial from this tag if you want to know the age more accurately. Model is coded for year of market introduction. Serial is coded for year and week of factory production.

I couldn't locate a model number on the washer. Just the number under the lid and a plate on the back. Also the numbers behind the controls console. | ||

CBex, the model/serial tag is on the back of the loading port, under the lower/rear edge of the lid, as indicated by the red arrow on the screen-capture above that I pulled from your video. Bend down to look under there and close the lid partially to see it better John, I hear a metallic rattling behind the hum of the motor and sloshing of the water. | ||

DADoES, I couldn't edit my last post once I posted it. I've attached the information. Sorry about that.

Post editing (for a limited time-period after submission) is among the bonus features for paid board memberships. However, it's generally better to post a new reply to a progressing discussion unless an edit is done quickly before there are following replies. The board software may not tag a thread as having new info via editing an existing post (I haven't paid attention whether or not it does so). Anywayyyyy .... Model (B) = 1994 Serial (D19) = 1994, 19th week (May 9-13) | ||

Be advised the back cover does not come off. Trying to get into the machine that way will cause destruction. Access is by removing the screws at the lower front corners of the console (there's a crack at the right, shown in your first video clip). Pull the console slightly forward and rotate it upward and back (it's hinged at the top/rear corners). Disconnect the lid switch harness plug under the console and remove the two large spring clips. Open the lid, grab the front of the loading port and the outer cabinet (top/front/sides as an assembly) tilts forward and off the machine base. Suggest waiting for further advice from John and/or whoever else may reply with suggestions. | ||

 It sounds to me more like a ringing sound than screeching. Kind of like a metal component is spinning and lightly touching/scraping against something that may have shifted over time, or maybe a worn washer/bushing, which IIRC was found to be the culprit in a recent post about a similar noise on a Speed Queen which granted, isn't at all mechanically similar, but you never know. | ||
