Bangs while on spin cycle

possibly bad counter weights

if the drum in the washer klunks/bangs in ANY brand of washer when it is spinning, your load is off balance. stop the machine, re-distribute the wet clothes so that the weight is evenly distributed, then restar the spin. u may have to do this more than once if u did not evely distribute the weight. this is an easy one. just be sure to stop the spin soon as it starts banging. letting it bang thru an entire spin cycle could result in actual damage to the machine. some of the new machines auto shut off at an imbalance so u can correct the problem. think of spinning a top. u unevenly add weights to it then spin it again, it WILL wobble.

always check the load to the drum is not to heavy on one side, this could cause it to bang.

Lift off the top cover and make sure that the supports are connected http://www.appliancepartspros.com/top-cabinet-parts-for-whirlpool-wtw6600sw2.html

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Since the suspension is ok and it is level, check your drive motor and spin bearing. Usually, these are the trouble parts when loud noises are associated with the spinning cycle. Your drive motor controls the spinning. Since the noise is during spinning, that is probably where your problem lies.

the banging noise while in the spin cycle will more than likey be worn shock absorbers and will need replacing.

check the vibration damper rods for breakage - especially the mounts.

please balance your washer and use smaller loads

chances are you had a blockage in the pump and it tried to spin with the water still in the drum. check the bottom hose and filter for blockages so it does not occur again.

The support spring beside the spinning hausing are cut replace w/new spring available appliances store. bring sample.
