Clattering noise when unit go of

check for broken axle

Hello friend, thank you for your inquiry!

Based off what you have described your Frigidaire washer is making a clattering noise during the initial spin cycle. This sounds like a possible problem with your belt, pulley, or motor. Unfortunately in order to find out which component is causing the problem you would need to disassemble the entire washer and inspect each part. This may not be a simple DIY job since all components need to be tested. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

It is a good chance that the freezer fan motor is going bad.

bad actuator ,motor. or debris near it.
not a fun thing to have or fix.
deep it is.

So being it doesn't clatter in electric mode, a safe assumption is the noise is with the gas motor.

Usually a clattering noise is valvetrain noise, like a lifter not pumping up.

Low oil will cause this.

3 quarts low would probably definitely cause this!

You need to find out why you lost 3 quarts in only 80 miles!

Hardware failure,Go for a new unit.

sometimes when warming up motor the oil doesnt reach up there right away so eventually oil reaches causing clatter to stop a lot of vehicles do it even new ones just make sure you have the proper weight of oil in the motor if car has high mileage..this will help with noise

I agree sounds like a valve train issue noises mean repairs usually so don't make more noises before having it checked out.

Check your engine oil level.

try thicker oil round town first
