I have a similar model (WTW4850XQ1) that was making a very loud grinding/screeching noise during the agitation and sometimes the spin cycle. I unplugged and turned it on its front to get underneath and exposed the motor/transmission unit. Took the cover off the belt drive assembly and my drive gear was loose. Simple tightening down of the nut was an easy fix for me. But some times those plastic gears between the drive pulley assembly and transmission crack or the teeth wear down (think it's called the CAM). That is a fairly cheap and easy fix as well ($35). Repair Clinic website has free videos on how to diagnose and fix issues and parts as well. Worth a look.
We have a proforma toploader washing machine and when using the machine in makes a very loud grinding noise during the spin and wash cycle. On occassion it also does not spin the clothing out properly, however the machine is still usable.
Hello, If the noise is a squealing or grinding sound, you are likely looking at a bad seal and bearing.
If the noise is a knocking sound, it's more likely a suspension or out of balance condition. Thanks
Hello gwatson01, Wondering if you could rate my clarification request as a solution?I joined this forum as a owner DIY’er to help other owners.The machine is just too expensive to junk and as you found fairly easy to work on.As a forum member as you I receive no compensation for my support to other owners.Thank you in advance for your support.Rich My solution; I’m an owner/DIY’er of the machine.Please take a look at this post and see if your mechanical noise may be coming from underneath the tumblers, maybe some coins grinding around under the tumblers.If you think it is take a look at the service manual link in that post.It will take you thru the tumbler removal process, see if you feel comfortable with the process, the manual does not call out a #20 Torx driver is required to remove the tumbler. If you think the grinding noise is very metallic and not muffled by a tub of water the grinding noise may be coming from the transmission/clutch area and removing the machine front vertical cover will be necessary to better sound isolate the suspect area of the machine. Do you feel OK to remove the front panel?If so see this post. The 1st link I sent you to shows that this owner had issues after the coin removal.I would also like you try a Spin Only cycle with no clothes in the wash basket.Can you let me know if that cycle runs with no noise?We can’t totally rule out an issue with the clutch/transmission components with the info supplied so far.To help you remotely diagnose this issue detail information is needed.Let’s try to sound isolate the grinding noise source location.Follow all safety rules in the Service Manual.If you don’t feel comfortable to proceed I would recommend you call in a qualified FAV6800AWW repair service for support.
Hope that helps! Should you have any further questions,please feel free to post them here.

If there's
a loud thumping noise during the spin cycle, the load of clothes has
probably gotten unbalanced. Open the lid, redistribute the clothes in
the washer, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.
