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.

The washer works fine it just makes that clicking sound, also it only does it when I have it on a specific mode like for example delicate mode… on normal mode it doesn’t make the sound it appears.

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.
