Hi, it’s normal for this machine to make a big clunk when it comes to a stop from spinning. For example, you can hear the same sound by opening the lid while it’s in the final spin cycle and forcing it to stop.
Other than that this machine should be fairly free of loud clunks, but it is a noisy machine as were most older machines. John |

Congratulations on getting the pair! Glad to know that they're functioning. It is "normal" for a Filter-flo to make a 'clunk' noise as agitation begins (both in wash and in rinse). The brake can also be loud in time. Otherwise the washer is fairly quiet as washers go.
I remember the last time that I bought a new FF pair. I was so impressed with how quiet they were. Didn't take too long for the 'new' to wear off and they sounded like the pair that I had just sold.

Love the Pop Pop sound of the Filter Flo at the end of each spin cycle. |
