Anyone with loud scraping/clanging- we had that problem and saw that the large wheel the belt goes around is only an inch above the metal bottom.When we moved the washer with a 2wheeler it pushed the bottom up into the metal wheel. The racket it made was horrible. It left metal shavings ,too. You'll need to pull the bottom of the washer back out.Pull fromt panal off with putty knife.You'll need to lean or lay washer to one side.Put a pillow or cushion inside between the tub and housing side you'll be leaning towards. What I did was drill two little holes-one near the back center and one near the front center. I took a long piece of heavy string,put one end in one hole and the other end in the other hole-outside to inside.Tie the ends around each end of a 1x2,18inch board .Get the board to the back without damaging stuff inbetween-pulling on your back string for help. Make sure the board is against the bottom, get to where you can now pull your string 'handle' w/both hands,yanking and popping the bottom back out.Our washer now works beautifully and quietly.

Might be a broken spring.

First thing to check is the lid switch and make sure it is working and not out of adjustment, if the switch is working then there must be a blockage in the pump or the drain line, if none then your pressure switch could also be bad. Look at the lid switch and use a pen or small screwdriver to depress the switch till it clicks and see if it starts spinning. You can also jumper the switch if your not sure it is working to make sure there is a complete circuit. Once the switch has been eleminated then look at the drain and pump. Let me know were your at on this and I can lead you furthur if needed.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France

I mostly answer front load problems but ' out of balance' is a common problem with both!
So- I don't know your particular machine but the initial cure is the same.
It is necessary to ensure absolutely that the machine, even when empty, has all 4 feet very firmly on the floor, and I mean firmly ;-0)

Doesn't matter whether it is empty or not but switch it off then-
very firmly push one front corner diagonally into the centre of the machine (sorry about my UK spelling!) and see if the machine moves or rocks AT ALL, even the slightest. If it does you will need the open-ended spanner which came with the (new) machine........which of course went missing a long time ago?!! An adjustable spanner will suffice.
Adjust the foot under that corner downwards until it is very firmly- almost pushing- against the floor but not so far that the corner lifts up!
If this corner did not rock do the same to the other.
Once you cannot rock the machine the slightest little bit, screw the locking nuts up tight to the underside of the machine so that they will not move. Ideally the rear feet should also be locked.

If this has not cured the problem it is possible that the internal drum suspension is malfunctioning.

Good luck,

If the washer is stopped mid cycle it will default to rinse and spin. It will then get stuck in a loop. It is necessary to reset the electronics. Unplug the electrical cord from the unit. Wait 30 seconds. Turn the cycle selector all the way around clockwise. Turn it again and set it on any setting accept rinse or spin. Plug the unit in. It should begin a new cycle and be working normally.

Check to make sure your cold water is on and not plugged. Especially if you hear a slight hum before they start to flash.

The machine does everything but spin because there's a problem in the door lock and switch assembly. The machine control detected the door lock is not activated. This is a safety feature of the machine that prevents the machine from advancing to the spin cycle. The door lock and switch assembly needs to be replaced.
