Could be, but often a loud banging means that drum bearings have failed. Replacement is probably prohibitively expensive if it is done professionally. The parts are expensive and it is a big job. Even though I do my own repairs, I decided it was time for a new washer when this happened.

There is a small roller that tightens the drive belt for the drum inside this unit. If it is loose it makes a squeaking noise. Tightening this may solve your problem. You will have to take off the back panel to do this repair

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.

It's been designed to fail so that you buy an expensive part.

Your machine has no belt. It has a direct drive coupling. The direct drive coupling between the motor and transmission must be replaced.

stackables are convenient..small but work great.....youll find what you need at lowes or home depot
