Why does a whirlpool duet clang and bang loud during spin cycle

The washer clangs and bangs loud when in the spin cycle, the faster it spins the louder it gets.

SOURCE: Machine makes loud banging noise during the spin cycle

The load is out of balance. Open the lid and redistribute the contents. When it's empty, grab the basket and give it a slight push sideways. It should move a little but, not free swing. If it doesn't have much resistance, the "snubber" has dried out and should be replaced. It is simply a piece of rubber in a metal bracket, that rests on the tub. When the basket spins,the snubber keeps it from jumping around.

Whirpool duet model#WFW9300VU02Why doeswasher clangs and bangs in the spin cycle

the spider gear is broken,it would be cheaper to replace the washer than have it repaired,you either overloaded the washer or used to much detergent,you should only use two tablespoons of h.e. detergent in a front load washer or you did both,if you look at the back wall it looks like a peace sign,that's where the gear is

I'VE GOT A WHIRLPOOL STACKING WASHER DRYER COMBO BOUGHT APPROX 2002. wASHER WORKS FINE, pUMPS WATER OUT FINE BUT ON SPIN CYCLE SEEMS OFF BALANCE AND MAKES ALL KIND OF BANGING NOISES. i EVEN TRYED SPIN...

Transmission bearing has failed. The transmission has to be replaced as a unit.
The transmissions are relatively inexpensive (around 150 to 175 dollars) I have replaced 3
of these and they are rather difficult.

Washer sounds like off balance during spin

old duets have nut on rear pulley that becomes loose. remove rear panel and tighten nut. check while spinning by hand if pop is felt. if it rotates smoothly then you may need new shocks on tub

Washing machine makes a clanging sound during agitation/spin

Without being there to physically see what it's doing or hear the sound, I would say there's 3 possibilities. 1) drive block is slipping on basket drive / brake assembly. 2) basket drive assembly is worn where drive block seats onto it. 3) clutch slipping.
