My washing machine is about 6 years old, came in my new house I had built. One day it developed a loud ticking sound while aggitating. I'll take the front off this weekend to have a look. Does anyone have any ideas before to share with me?

Here's a tiny bit of advice for anyone buiding a new house, do yourself a big favor and upgrade the appliances. Builders use entry level stuff and for a few extra bucks you can avoid a lot of trouble.

I removed the front cover only to find that the ticking noise that I was hearing was the belt coming apart and hitting the support bracket every time it made a revolution. I was prepared for much worse, but got away with paying only 14 bucks. I still stand by my original comment about purchasing better appliances, but maybe shouldn't be so hard on Frigidaire.
