Hi Gonzo. Unfortunately I don't work on top loaders but it sounds like a relay that's trying to kick-start the motor? Just a guess really though it does sound like a relay.
Maybe there's a motor fault but can't advise anything really.

Can it be the shift actuator?
somewhat similar symptoms to mine.
Hi Gonzo. It sounds like it could well be that. I couldn't say for sure though as I've never repaired top loaders. In the UK we just don't really have them. We almost all have front loading washing machines under kitchen worktops.
