Loud Clicking rattle during spin

Clicking is fair enough as older machines which dials have a rotary motor driven switch, and also when water inlet valves open and close. Popping though is not so good and often happens when water meets electricity.

Most likely tub bearings and spider gear are bad.

Bad/broken coupler/ http://www.davesrepair.com/DIYhelp/DIY285753.htm

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the 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.

sounds as if you might have a bad rear bearing, real obnoxious almost painful to listen too kinda sounds. big job, but might have some part warrentee depending on age of unit

No belt on your machine. Sounds like motor coupler that joins motor and transmission is broken. Very inexpensive part but a few steps involved in getting machine disassembled Look up YouTube video on replacing motor coupler on Whirlpool washer.

check to see if the tub has any side to side play to start then pull the motor and check the coupling the clicking is whats confusing

Sounds like the "out of balance" mech has been destroyed. Check for that first

manofred, you either have something in your pump or the coupler is starting to break up. Tip the washer back and take a look. See if there is a bunch of black debris under the trans. If so, your coupler is failing. The pump will come off with 2 clips and 2 clamps. Check to see if something is in the impeller. Check the attachments....Catriver...post back.
