If this is just clicking then the agitator bearings stuck or something is jamming it.

Yes, that could make the noise, you would have to remove the agitator and spin drum to get to the coins

sounds like your lid switch is bad or possible timer

yes, sounds like your agitator dogs are broken, four beige teeth inside top of agitator part only roughly 4.99 to 29.99 and labor 65.00 - 95 labor depending were u live and who u use. thank you

Hi,
If this a whirlpool brand washer, there are sone parts bad in the agitator it's self. These parts are called dogs and they make the agitator rachet so that the top half only goes one direction. Does this sound like what you are experiencing? If so, let me know and I can assist you further.

Thanks
Vic
