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."

Water has been leaking out of the bottom of my washer, and it has been making a horrible grinding sound. It finally stopped spinning last night, though it makes noises and tries to run.

Hi just read your posting.Now when is the machine noisy?Is it when the machine pumps out the water or when the bowl spins.Sorry to ask you this but please be accurate when you reply to this question.The reason being is that if it is noisy when it pumps the water it could be your pump but if it is noisy when the bowl turns for the spin then the problem will be your bearings and seals.Select a spin cycle and push start,is it noisy as soon as you push the start button?Please reply with additional information on the questions and I am sure I can help you.Looking forward to your reply.

Simpson 175 washing machine: spin cycle noisy and motor cuts out after short spin. Bowl feels stiff

Hi just read your posting.Now from the information on your posting the machine is noisy on spin and your motor is cutting out after a short spin.Is this correct?Now does the motor cut out during a wash cycle?If the motor only cuts out during the spin cycle , and with your machine being noisy on spin,I think the fault will be your bearings are corroded.With the bearings being corroded it puts more load on the motor causing the inbuilt thermal overload in the motor to activate and turning the motor off to save it from burning out.Please reply with additional information on, if it cuts out on wash and I am sure I can help you further.

Aquarius 1100 wm63 very noisy spinning

Remove rear cover of washer.
Remove drive belt.
From inside the drum, spin the drum by hand, if it is noisy or feels rough, then main drum bearings have failed.
If no noise, then possibly motor bearings noisy.
Hope this helps Thankyou.

Hotpoint Aquarius WMA54 very noisy during spin

Hi, if your H/P is noisy on the spin cycle, just open the door and turn the drum a few times. If you feel some play, or kind of loud huming noise, then it is the bearings, very, very common on H/P WMA's.

Wm noisy

drum bearings, check and investigate, remove drive belt and then rotate, if still noisy then yes its the drum bearings, if the noise stops when the belt removed the motor bearings are faulty costly repair on most models, sorry oh there is also the possibility there is something lodged within the drum cavity between the lining and the drum casing
