Hi there - new to this community. I have a 1973 Maytag A207 washing machine. It was recently overhauled but it is making a dull non-stop rapping or tapping noise when washing. I starts as soon as the agitator starts to work. It doesn't do it when spinning. Belts, pump, bearings seals etc were all replaced. Any ideas about the noise would be appreciated!

My 511 started rapping on both agitation and spin. Thanks to the knowledge on this forum, it was a bad two piece motor pulley. Replaced it with a solid one piece pulley and now its quiet as new.

The water pump belt might be hitting the front frame, this can happen if it is a little loose, is the sound coming from the lower front near the floor?

Rapping/tapping noise

Thanks. It definitely sounds like a belt or pulley hitting something as it goes around... Repair guy will come to take a look in the next few days.
