Rubbing/screeching noise while agitating

Whenever my washer has a load in it it makes a intermittent rubbing sound, much like the sound of tires screeching on pavement, while agitating. I've run it empty and it doesn't do it. Trying to figure out what I need to look at and/or replace. I'm pretty handy so replacing something isn't an issue, just not so great at diagnostics.

Hi @jorgefernando

Check if the wash plate is OK. It may be worn and slipping on the drive shaft.

Here's a link that has a video (scroll down the page a bit), that shows how to remove it to check.

If the plate is worn search online for W10902814 to find suppliers that suit you best. (examples only)

Does it make any noise when spinning with a load?

It sounds like the tub is hitting another piece of metal. That might be a problem with the suspension rods.

Nope. When it's soinning it sounds fine. It's only when it's agitating.
