Last night our GE WCXH208A1WW washing machine starting making a loud banging noise during spin cycle.

On inspecting the drum... it does not seem to move up and down and seems quite stable however I can move it front to back up to 5 or 6 inches. I am not sure if this is normal.

    I took the back off and when I pull or push on the belt pulley there is 1/4 to 1/2 inch of play forward and back with a click noise. Could this be my problem? I will try to upload a video to show.

I don't think that much movement is normal front to back. The spin drum is held in place by a big nut on the back outside of washer. Remove back panel and look at big pulley/belt system and see if it is loose. Pulley should be held on with a big nut.

    Hi Jerry... thanks for your help. I'm not sure if I'm reposting or not but I don't see my response that I just submitted a few minutes ago so I will resubmit with video. I took the back off the washer and when I pull and push on the pulley it moves about 1/2 inch and makes a clicking noise. I have added a video to show what I mean.

    if the tub moves easily from side to side and does not center itself,then theproblem is with the weight in the bottom of the washer,a support may be busted

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.

Loud banging noise durning washing machine spin cycles.

First plug off the wall. Open the machine from behind to examine if any shock-absorbers(known as dampers) or springs have come off or broken. Your dealer could help with spares. But you could do the job yourself.

My Kenmore 80 series washer just started making a loud Aihaiha electrical or motor type noise. This happened during a heavy load cycle. Noise was very loud. When I click to regular, delicate or hand wash....

The following are the reasons for the drum not spinning :-
* Test the lid switch
* Test the timer control
* Test the centrifugal switch
* Test the water level switch
* Inspect the motor coupler
* Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
* Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
* Test the motor
* Inspect the pulley
* Test the transmission


In the case of loud noises in the machine, the drum bearings might have been damaged and might need a replacement. Also do check the leveling of the machine. Good luck.
