When my washer is agitating the clothes it sounds like the agitator is loose. And when it changes cycles there is a loud popping sound.
Sounds like you need a new agitator kit. Please give is your model number so i can find the correct one. This noise is caused by air being pushed out of the basket towards the outer case. … When the machine is transitioning from agitate to spin, the gears that interlock the agitator and basket are engaging, so the basket and agitator will spin together.
