http://forums.partselect.com/images/...onfused.gifThe washer/dryer was not in use for a while but I'm uncertain of how long. I transported and then hocked it, and when I tried to turn it on id did just for a few seconds. The noise is like a low pitch buzzer sound, it doesn't sound like is grinding, more like is a bit stuck. when is on thou, the inner spinner washes freely, but the outer basket spins a little at a time one way only.
