Washing machine spin making rattling noise

First of all, what kind of a loud is it making?  Is it a loud squeak, clunk, bang, or jet engine sound?

If it is a loud jet engine sound, then your tumbler bearing is wearing out.  You could try oiling it, but [probably you will have to replace it.  It’s a big job and even if you do it yourself, the best and easiest way to do it is expensive.

I recommend first of all ordering a repair manual.  Or at least see if the parts come with detailed instructions on how to take out the old bearing and install the new.  You will probably have to replace the entire outer drum assembly.  It's much more expensive in parts to do it that way than to just replace the bearings and seals, but much much easier and faster.  Personally, I've replaced the entire drum assembly and also tried to replace just the bearings and seals.  In the end I wasted the money on the bearings and seals and got an new assembly.  I'd recommend just going for the new assembly and saving time.

have you taken the transit bolts out?

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.

The noise you can hear is the drum bearings, the seal between the drum and bearings has failed and let water into the bearings which has destroyed the bearings.
