Daffyjill, You said it I have the same problem, and in addition to that the transmission went out on mine, it not even 4 yrs old. I know that they are aware that this is a problem, I looked on utube and some one posted a video of the Atlantis, making the same noise as mine, What a joke. My mother has had the same set for over 20yr, and has repaced a belt. I really am pissed to find out that after an $80 service call, I need a $250 dollar part, oh anf I have labor to pay on top of that....Shame Shame Matage!! But I guess I should say Shame on fridigare, Admiral, and Whirlpool because guess what they are all the same company. What a JOKE! Karyn in Gresham, Or
