Loud noise our washer makes a loud noise but goes through all the cycles just fine. the noise is similar to what a baseball card in a bikes spokes would make. Hi, the same thing just started happening to my Bosch WFK2401UC. It starts to clank as the water is draining and during the spin cycle. It sounds like there is a coin mixed in with the laundry, but that's not the case. Any ideas? I need to keep doing laundry, but don't know if I'm doing more damage by continuing to use it before it's fixed. Thanks!

There's probably a penny or something in the drain pump. I've had this happen several times and it's easy to fix.

1. Make sure the washer is drained.
2. Remove the plastic panel at the bottom held on with the two plastic screws.
3. Drain the last bit of water into a pan by opening the cap on the black rubber tube.
3. Unscrew the big white cap on the left.
4. Look in there and you will probably find a penny or hairpin, etc.
5. Put everything back together.

I think your manual will probably describe this too.

I'll bet you washed bras in the machine without first placing them in a bag? Have you noticed any bras missing their underwires that went AWOL about the time the noise started?

I had daughters who did this. It apparently is the most common problem with these machines. I'm afraid I don't remember how we resolved it as it is a &^$#$*^ to get anything out from behind the drum.
