Sounds like a bad gearcase.There is a nylon gear inside that if it is worn out it will make a ratcheting noise as you describe. It will also cause it to spin and agitate at the same time. There is a 5 year warrenty on the gearcase. you pay labor only.

may be a plastic piece that involves the gears, it breaks causing the same problem you descibe that i have had twice, its only 3-4 bucks if you take the washer in and service it
