This started a couple of weeks ago. The washer is now very loud during the spin cycle. If you reach in and spin the drum by hand you can hear it too. The rest of the cycles are quiet, just very load during the fast spin cycle. Prior to this the spin cycle was very quiet.
You probably need new shocks for the washer as they break over time. They cost $37 each and you can replace them your self. If you don't fix these you may end up breaking the motor controller and while the part may be covered under the warranty the diagnostic and labor is not.

I checked the model number and it should be FTF530e-s
We purchased our front load washing in June. Just last week it started make the very loud noise in the spin cycle. It almost sounds like a jet taking off. We only have three people in our household so the amount of laundry we do is minimal compared to some.
I have purchased a new front load affinity washer and dryer... It is thumping and shaking when the spin cycle comes on, what should I do?
I have a brand new one that sounds like a jack hammer on spin cycle. I have done every thing to resolve. I am taking back to Home Depot. This washerf sucks.
We have a 10 year old Frigidaire front loader which has just started doing the "Jackhammer thing" with moderate to full loads and only on high speed spin. I've pulled off the top & back and found nothing missing, loose or broken (visibly). Is is possible for the shock to get weak or wear out, like on a car?
