it could be fixed,,, but it sounds like drum bearings worn out thats not going to be cheep,,,or it could be the steady spring/s if one has fell off or just snaped the other is trying to hold all the weight of the drum and it cant do all the work so the drum swings around on the spin cycle battering the inside of the washer,,,this will pull off the water pipes and wiring to other parts like the motor,,,you could wip the top or back off and look inside you will see if the spring has come off,,it will be laying in the bottom
I have had a repair guy out for a separate issue and been told my knocking noise most prominent during rinse and spin is the bearings going. I have a samsung WDJ1225c front loader
If it is a front loader, then remove the rear panel, remove the belt, and soin drum by hand, if it feels rough, or is noisy and rumbling, then the main drum bearings have failed.
This is a major repair.
Unless your front loader is set firmly on concrete
and leveled to perfection, the force of a heavy wash load spinning in
excess of 1000rpm will create a bit of vibration and noise.A firm footing is your best defense against to much movement. Also due to the earlier movements during the spin cycle, the
shocks that are used to dampen the spin cycle might have been broken or
damaged. If the problem persists inspite of proper levelling, please do check for the shocks or might have them replaced them for good.
Ours started knocking several months ago and then progressed to a high pitched sound when in the spin cycle. I manually turned the drum and heard and felt a bearing roughness. I lifted the drum assembly and felt a fair amount of play, which I think the initial knocking noise came from. On the sears web site a new rear drum mount cost 293.00. Today we went and bought a LG model wm2455hw at Home depot, on sale until 2/20/08. I couldn't see paying to repair a machine that only lasted four years.
