Motor makes loud rattling noise during rinse cycle

My washing machine is making this loud rattling sound when it comes to the rinsing cycle... the water does drain slowly but the noise scares me so I turned it off...

I've been reading that others have similar problems, could it be the motor coupler? I tipped the machine back to see if anything has fallen off but found nothing underneath (btw, my machine is 8 year old... but it works great!!!)

Thanks for your help!

    Hi, sorry, when I say "it works fine" I meant the overall of the machine. As of now, the machine is stopped at the rinse cycle, no spinning at all, just the loud sound...

Could be the coupler and the only way to truely check it is to take the pump, then the motor off. But it seems strange to me that you say it works fine. Is it spinning? usually when the coupler breaks it sounds horrible and usually will not spin but it will drain.I would check the coupler again.

Washing machine knocks and dims lights only during rinse cycle

Possible that the bearings are a suspect, if the machine seems to wobble around. Also if the load is high, does the noise go higher, if so check the suspension, check the mounting and the counter weights.

Loud banging noise during rinse

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the rinse or spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.This will solve your problem.

Will not agitate or spin,makes loud noise during those cycles

Sounds like coupling gears between transmission and motor... they did away with the belt and went direct drive with coupling gears. It can pump water out but nothing else. water pump is mounted to front of motor is why it will pump water out.

Loud clicking/thumping in rinse and spin cycle

It doesn't look like a motor problem !!! It seems like an unbalanced tub issue. The machin has suspension dampers and suspension rods, and it's look like one of them was damaged or "run away" from its location during machin's movement. Goog luck !!
