Whirlpool AWM 6082 - vibration during the drain cycle

Hi guys! Today, I noticed that the right panel of my washer (Whirlpool AWM 6082) has started to vibrate during the drain cycle. My current guess is that I've some kind of problem with the drain pump, but I'm not quite sure about it. Video illustrating the problem (listen for "brr" sound):


I want to note few thing:

  • the panels are tightened;
  • the pump doesn't seem to be wobbly;
  • "coin trap" is empty;
  • water gets drained as it should.

Well it looks like you checked everything out. May have been doing that before but you never noticed it. Could be because the pump is getting close to failure. Couldn't tell much about the panel vibrating in the video.

  Cant tell much either they do just gain a bit of vibration with age.  Get Rubber dampers?
