Hi,

The problem occurs as the washer transitions from the agitate to spin. It seems to be related to the water draining, and the noise sounds like it's coming from the lower, right side of the unit. Based on some of the other posts I've read, I'm thinking it's the water pump. However, having never disassembled a washing machine, I wanted to confirm with the master before attempting the repair.

I've attached a video taken with my camera phone (so quality is less than stellar).
