This washer is a kitchenaid KAWS700LQ0. It's really a Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer.
It makes a strange noise sometimes when it begin to agitate but most of the time when it hits the spin. (see video's below)
What i've done. I changed the transmission (used one from appliance parts man), the noise didn't seem to happen at first but after a day or so it's returned to the same noise. I replace the clutch and agitator. (seems when it's cold it does ok, after back to back run it makes noise in agitation.)
#1 The washer will fill and agitate (sometimes noise on regular, not on light load). I've not tried it on permanent press though. i wasnt sure if the contacts are different in the timer for the different wash cycles? i will try permanent press... wondering if there if noral load contacts are worn and burning etc..... the timer is year Dec 2003... part # on it 3954848
#2 agitation if not noise runs nice and quiet.
#3 stops and pauses and drains with no movement of drain.
#4 fills up to rinse and agitates this
#5 stops and pauses and drains.
#6 when the time hits "spin" it will begin to spin but it has this noise - see video and it's like it's chugging - spins... sometimes it just stops the noise and continues the spin and sometime it does not and i have to turn off the timer and advance it one click turn the timer back on and it begins to spin normally.
Here is a video of it making the noise.... it's can happen in agitation and begin to spin. it's not consistent it seems.
Link #1 , this shows the end of a water drain and the begin of a spin... and has chugging noise and then stops noise and spins quietly.
Link #2 extra rinse mode , drain and then it hits the spin - makes noise and doesn't stop.i have to advance the timer one click and it spins out ok.
Thank you for any time you could help.
Thanks
Rob
