Without knowing the noise that the machine is making, it is difficult to diagnose.
1)
The load may be unbalanced. If so, the machine must be stopped, the load rearranged (distributed) so that it is centered, and the cycle then completed. It is NOT a good idea to let the spin to continue if there is a lot of knocking; this may result in damage to the machine.
2)
If there is a lot of rumbling during the spin cycle, the drum bearings may be worn out. Open the door, hold the top edge of the drum, try to rock it a bit. There should be very little play. If there is a lot, the machine may have to be stripped down and the drum and drum bearings replaced. That is expensive outside of warranty. To check for drum bearing failure you can take the belt off and spin the drum by hand. If the drum rumbles when spun then the bearings have probably gone. This is not a job for anyone short of a seasoned DYI person. It is no small feat to do.
3)
Knocking could mean a loose tub weight.

First make sure that the load is balanced, if you are washing and spinning a dense load like trainers etc this can cause an imbalance. If you are washing a duvet cover or a pillowcase, make sure that the loose clothes washed with it haven't migrated inside the cover or case, this happens so easily. It is always worth checking that the support feet are all touching the ground when the washing machine is empty as this can cause excessive noise
hope this helpsKind regards ki
Testimonial: "Thank's david ,, the sound like the drum when is touching the gasket (tak tak tak ) and it is appears only in the spinning (high speed),it does not matter what load is inside the machine."

I think I found the faulty part,, one of the drum dampers , I will buy anew one tomorrow and fix it.
I'll update the post later.
One damper changed,noise reduced 80%,need to replace the other 2. Because of vibration.
Thanks for all of you who tried to find the solution.
