Whirlpool cabrio washer rattles when on spin cycle

There is a rattle when my washer is on spin cycle. It is not a constant rattle...it is intermittent. At first, I thought it was a coin or rock in with the clothes. It is coming from the top half of the machine between the bowl and the case of the machine.

    I have the manual that came with the machine. It is useless for troubleshooting anything other than codes given on the screen.
    I am pretty sure that the drain pipe or drain pump have coins or rocks in it.....
    So, I guess I need to know how to access those to check them for debris.

    I found this video to be helpful. We took off both pumps and removed the washer basket finding.....2 dimes, 3 pennies, a quarter, a sock, and what was a pillowcase inside in various nooks and crannies.
    All is working smoothly now. My hubby and I also feel pretty confident about fixing it now that we see how simple it can be. :) No more repair man bils for us with this complete video on taking it all apart!

SOURCE: Whirlpool duet washer has rock, marble, or something stuck inside

as long as your sure its an item between the tub assy the baffles in the drum can be removed and item fished out. but ifsomething snapped on the rear of the drum you would need to replace it. the baffle part number is 8182233, its about $40 thinknin thats worth a try before 475. the lower acess panel could also be removed and the main tub to pump hose could be removed which would give you a 3in hole to look through and try to grab somethin. worth a try

SOURCE: Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6600SW1: Won't drain

The washer drew half a tub of water on the "Bulky items" cycle, and stopped. All the lights on the cycle dial light up and flash, the machine beeps and the me error message in the "estimated time remaining" field is "Ld". I've tried to shut the machine down and change the cycle to "drain and spin" but it will not agitate, won't drain or spin.

SOURCE: Duet Washer rattles and knocks when spinning

you either have a broken shock or the spider gear is gone,take off the bottom panel and check out the shocks,if it's the spider gear it's time for new washer,it's around 500 bucks for new gear,to much detergent used over the years eats at the metal

Something is loose in the tub,when it spins it rattles around until the speed get constant then it stops and as the speed changes it dislodges again rattles around a few times and stops once the speed get...

The ring around the top is for ballance with fluid in it. That wouldn't be it. On some there's 3 parts the stick up on the inside of the tub that are held on with 2 or 3 screws . sometimes coins or something gets through a crack and will rattle . The screws go in from the other side of the drum you can turn the drum to get to them. Take them off and remove coin or whatever. Will have to take the top off to get to it.. Hope this helps good luck.

Rattles like rocks in it when going to spin cycle! Less than 2 yrs. old

Your load is uneven, try spreading the load evenly before spin cycle.

I HEAR A RATTLE WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN SPIN CYCLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS UNDER THE BASKET.

Do you have kids? My sons were bad for putting things in their pockets. Rocks, sticks, nails. Anything they were fiddling with outside. Many a times a small pebble or small nail would slip through the holes and make 'music'.
Now they are teenagers and when I do laundry I tell them if I find money in the machines it is mine. Guess what? They check their pockets good! XD
