Front-load washer will not spin. while draining (i assume) it makes a loud clicking noise. It sounds like something is trying to turn but is not catching/moving. I have put it on the spin only cycle and the same thing.

You may have a broken or jammed drain pump and it needs a technician to disassembly the pump to see if the pump needs to be replaced or remove the debris inside it. Good luck

It sounds like your drain pump has failed or has something stuck in it. You didn't specify a make and model so all I can say is that there are several good videos on YouTube about this problem because it's fairly common. Good luck!
sound as though the drain pump has something hitting the impeller making the clicking noise,and the filter basket next to the pump is blocked by debris and not letting it drain
sounds like you are dealing with the same problem as me .
take off the front panel (after unplugging power) take a flash lite and look at the large pulley at the back just below the pulley is the helix check to see if they are worn .
I just replaced the bearings on my Front loader Maytag MAH5500B, as it sounded like a freight train during the spin cycle. The bearing replacement fixed the train problem.
NEW PROBLEM NOW: It's been about a month now since the bearing job and now something is clicking/binding when you spin the back belt wheel. I have taken the belt off and carefully move the wheel and I still get this clicking noise. It sounds as if someone is hitting the plastic drum that the tub is surrounded by. I really doubt it's the bearings this soon, as the sound is not the same! No leaks or metal shavings to speak of or rubbing of the belt wheel.
Seems like it's more noticeable during the wash/rinse cycles then the spin.
ok first it sounds like something is stuck in your drain pump first if you have a shop vac then vac out the water through the drain line then tape the lid shut and lay the washer on its back to service also on the front panel on the inside will be a tech sheet there good luck
Control boards don't growl, the fry out and die. Sounds like a drive train problem to me. If it's a front load machine, the spindle/bearing assy. has gone to washer heaven. If it's a top load machine... could be the transmission, brake/clutch assy. or the tub bearings. In either case, if it's less than 5 years old, the drive system will be warrantied through the manufacturer.
If you could provide a make and model number, I could narrow this down to a fine point.
