It is possible that the belt has come off or the lid latch is no functioning.

First unplug the machine then remove the two screws from the front lower edge of the washer.

The front panel will lift up towards you at a 45 degree angle. The latches will release than the entire front panel can be place out of the way.

The lid latch can be seen on the underside of the top panel to the right, check that the wires are not loose.

You will see a large motor mounted upright near the base this should have the belt around the pulley to the bottom of the tub assembly. Check for obvious damage

Outside of this you will need a repairman for help.

SOURCE: My washer is making a horrible noise when it goes

The bearings on those washers go bad and the washer gets very loud during the spin cycle. It probably won't explode but for what it might cost to fix it you might want to blow it up yourself

I have a GE stackable washer/dryer model GTUP240EMIWW. Initially would not agitate or spin. Determined drive motor faulty as lid lock worked fine. Replaced motor and worked however still no agitation or...

If you are you able to turn the agitator by hand, then it is likely that something has failed. Bearings can and do fail without noise or residue. If you know what you are doing, then I suggest you dismantle the machine completely and find the part that has failed. If you do not know what you are doing, then find a repair centre that works on this make.

My GE stackable washer is pouring out water while filling up, when spinning makes horrible noise and tub goes crazy

The issue is that a shock or spring that balances the tub has come loose and pulled a hose off when it broke. So the shocks or the springs are bad. The hose might be able to just be put back on.

GLEH1642DS1 FRONT LOAD STACKABLE WASHER MAKING LOUD THUMPING NOISE IN SPIN CYCLE & SQEALS WHEN i STOP IT

Sounds like you have an unbalanced load. I know this sounds too easy but lots of times this is the issue. If it doesn't help then you could have a bearing issue where the belt goes around a pully under the tub itself. If so you will have to replace the pully itself and perhaps the belt if it's gotten worn too much.

Fridigaire fwb9200es1 washer making rattling noise when spinning

Hello terilym - From what you have described it sounds like you possibly have foreign objects such as coins or safety pins in the tub or pump. I suggest unplugging the washer and carefully check the tub and to verify that the drum is also not damaged. If noise continues after washer is restarted, objects may be in the actual pump. Contact a professional to accurately diagnose and repair the unit.

My Magtag Neptune TL 6800 started making a horrible squealing noise then smoke started coming out of the washer. What do you the problem may be?

You need to replace the belt needed to spin the drum. It sounds to me like you may have been overloading the drum, putting too much stress on the belt. Over time, it has begun to " burn rubber" as it spins, causing smoke, or worst case scenario, the motor that turns the belt is locking up as the drum spins causing friction on the belt.

Washer wont spin

CHECK THE MOTOR COUPLING. IT MAY BE THAT. CALL YOUR REPAIRMAN AND SEE IF HE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. IF NOT, THEN YOU NEED TO BUY A NEW WASHER. GOOD LUCK.

Dryer comes on for a few minutes, makes horrible sound and goes off. now won't start at all. Frigidaire stackable

It could be the belt was partially broken, and as it came apart causing the dryer to no longer start,,, it made the noise your talking about. If the dryer still heats up, and you can hear the motor running,,, these would all be signs toward a broken belt.
