Three day old Indesit washing machine

When the washing machine is on the spin cycle it makes a loud banging noise. Would this be happening if the machine was not correctly balanced. ON the spin cycle on our Indesit W103 front loader, a loud banging is heard and is shakes like mad. Is something loose like the drum?

I bought Indesit washer the other day and started it as in manual - removed the shipping braces. It
vibrates and jumps while spinning although it is leveled and balanced, even when it is empty. Can you please advise me, what should I do?

Is it a maytag? My maytag front load washing machine had 2 long bolts with plastic braces on them, to keep the drum still during shipping. Mine would bang and shake all over. I got the book out before I finally figured it out. I had to take the back cover off and remove the bolts and plastic braces over them. They look like they' 8 inches long or so. It works great now.

Loud banging noise during rinse

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the rinse or spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.This will solve your problem.

Very loud banging noise when spinning

sounds like a balance problem may be when the drum was replaced they didn't fit the new drum in the correct spot the other thing that would cause load banging and excessive vibrations in the machine is if the shockers are worn out,
believe it our not even washing machines have shockers to dampen the movement of the drum spinning
