washer clicks when it is agitating. Teeth on pully drive seem to be making the noise. what causes the teeth to wear?

Sprocket wear can be caused by a number of things:

  • dirt/debris damaging the teeth
  • Improper pulley tension
  • Worn chain or belt
  • Bad bearings (causing high resistance) If you make the repair on your washer, I would highly recommend replacing as many parts in the pulley line as possible and giving everything a quick clean and lube.
