I have a gsq9669lg0, makes a terrible noise during spin cycle. Looking through the back of the machine I noticed the tub is barely moving and the agitator moves slowly as well.
Washer pump is clean and clear.
I checked motor couplers, gearcase, motor, clutch disk all seem to be working fine. Called a repair guy and said it was a bad timer. Thank you for responding to my question though.I checked motor couplers, gearcase, motor, clutch disk all seem to be working fine. Called a repair guy and said it was a bad timer.

The noise could be from a loose wire harness, plastic purse-lock wire harness retainer on the upper hose hitting the top cover ir a plastic injector mold standoff on the outer tub bearing housing, also a flat spot in the belt could cause a tapping noise. Something between the outer tub and wash basket. I have had to remove items lodged in the drain tube between the pump and tub, like bra under wires. Sometimes you can squeeze the tube and feel objects the ate lodged. I always take the tube off the tub side and run my finger all the way down to the pump impeller to make sure. I also check the I can spin the impeller and the nothing is in the pump. Hard to say with out being there. Where do you think the noise is coming from top , bottom , left , or right side?
Have you tried moving the clothes around in the drum to balance the drum BEFORE you was them? If that works, you have solved the problem! Most people forget that when cloth gets wet it gets heavy so leaving the clothes unevenly placed in the drum dry will make a real problem when they get wet!
Cindy, you might want to check the gears in your machine. I had a similar problem and it turned out that the gears are made of a plastic/nylon material and they deteriorate pretty easy, making the washer make loud noises. Took the guy who fixed mine about 20 minutes and then it was nice and quiet again. Good luck.
Your problem sounds like the drum/tub drive clutch is worn. Especially if the motor operates fine and attempts to spin the tub. This model is a direct drive unit, no belts, so if the motor operates during the spin and drain cycles but the tub is barely moving, only two problems can cause this, bad clutch (which is engaged only during the spin cycles) or worn drive coupling on the motor. If the coupling were a problem, though, you would also notice sluggish or erratic agitation during the wash cycle.
find out if the agitator moves on wash if not then it is most likely a motor couplier. No big deal to change. You can also just tip the washer back and look under and look between the motor and transmisson and see if the couplier is still in good condition
I had the same rattling during spin cycle of my Maytag 4000 series front loading washer. Noticed you could gently pull back on the rubber gasket between the tub and where the door seals. There was a quarter resting against the fixed ring the tub spins in. Problem solved. And I have further realized that long hair can build up in this same spot. But if you didn't know to pull back on the gasket you wouldn't see it. Good luck!
