See this causes and fix it. God bless you
Level
If it is shaking and not sitting flat ( should have no rock corner to
corner) check the leveling legs. Make sure to tighten up the locknut
after adjusting.
Timer
Sometimes a Timer will start making noises before they fail. I would highly suggest replacing the timer
as soon as the noise develops. This can cause problems with your motor
and other components if left alone. This is easy to identify just listen
up near the console when running.
Transmission
The transmission does not usually fail but to check this on a direct
drive remove the motor and rotate the inner tub and listen for noises it
should be quiet. If not the transmission is expensive and you will need
to evaluate wether it is worth repairing.
Motor Coupler
On direct drive machines this is a common failure and can be very noisy. To check and replace the motor coupler watch the video.
Motor
You will need to disassemble the washer to listen to the motor running. If the motor is noisy it will need replacing. On direct drive models check the motor coupler first.
Suspension Rods
The Suspension Rods support the tub under the cabinet on some models. The washer must be disassembled
to access. These usually do not fail. On direct drive types there will
be springs instead of suspension rods. Either usually fails but can from
being overloaded.
Drain Pump
The drain pump can be the cause of noise. On belt drive types remove the
belt and rotate the pump pulley it should spin freely and make no
noise. If it is noisy replace. If it does not spin freely remove and
inspect for obstructions if none found replace the pump. Check the
impeller on the pump it should be tight and spin freely. On direct drive
types remove the pump and inspect or replace.
SOURCE: Loud Noise - Spin Cycle
If the washer is making a squealing noise, the problem is more likely to be the basket drive. If it is more like a rattling sound, the centerpost bearings are probably worn out. Open machine's rear panel and spin the basket manually by turning the drive pulley, to find out from where exactly the noise come from. Defective part should be replaced. Good luck !!

It sounds like the bearings are going bad. Try spinning the drum with your hand while it is empty. It should spin nice and smooth. If the rotation feels a little rough and noisy, you might have a problem. You can double check by taking the drive belt off and try shaking the pulley. If there is "play" when shaking the pulley, the bearings are most likely toast. The inner stainless drum rides on two bearings which sit in the rear of the outer plastic drum. The whole plastic drum and bearings come as one piece and go for $150. It would cost about the price of a new maching to have someone come out and repair it for you. It sounds like kenmore has had a bearing problem which is pretty rediculous considering how much these things cost. Sears said, "those tend to go in a few years", which is criminal especially since the warrenty is usually conveniently exopired by the time this problem happens. If you are handy, have a spare day, and can remember how to put a washing machine back together, go for it. I did it and it was not a fun time. There is a lot of sharp metal edges in the machine so wear gloves. good luck

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.

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.
