Our Maytag Neptune makes a moderate, intermittent, clicking sound during the wash cycle. This problem seems worse with larger loads. Although the washer is old, it still works and cleans well and this noise is the only problem. I have read some information that suggests that this is a bearing problem, but not the usual "worn out" bearings. The information suggests that the noise is caused by the drum shifting forward and back axially during the wash cycle. There is a very inexpensive kit to remedy this problem, but I just want to verify what the problem is before I proceed. If the washer actually needs new bearings, I think we would just buy a new machine. Thanks for any help!
