Re: During the spin cycle, the washing machine rattles...
Souns like the gearbox (what the motor mounts to) it bad. I'm asummin the load in the washer is balanced (all the clothes are not on one side of the tub)

If you are getting no water spray during the rinse cycle that would cause the soapy clothes issue.
Are you getting cold water during the wash/rinse cycles? If you have the machine set to warm/warm you may only be getting hot water while the final spin is calling for cold.
If you have cold water available then the timer is not calling for the water spray. The problem is either in the mixing valve or the timer.
Make sure all springs are still in their place tilt the machine back and look under it and you can see them. 2nd all legs must be level as well as the floor.
Unless your front loader is set firmly on concrete
and leveled to perfection, the force of a heavy wash load spinning in
excess of 1000rpm will create a bit of vibration and noise.A firm footing is your best defense against to much movement. Also due to the earlier movements during the spin cycle, the
shocks that are used to dampen the spin cycle might have been broken or
damaged. If the problem persists inspite of proper levelling, please do check for the shocks or might have them replaced them for good.
Most washer tubs are suspended by heavy rubber O-rings. These do fail with age so that the tub is not being held centered anymore.
I suspect one of them has failed or come off during a severely unbalanced load.
it could be the break above the transmission. it engages what looks like break shoes when the machine is not spinning. if these are worn down to the rivets then it will make this noise. it requires a special tool to replace.
