Loud Grinding Noise During Spin
A loud grinding, rumbling, or metal-on-metal sound during the spin cycle usually means worn tub bearings, a foreign object caught between the drum and tub, or a failing drive motor coupling. Try spinning the drum by hand with the washer off — if it grinds or feels rough, it's the bearings.

Sock or Object Jammed in Pump
If your washer won't drain, makes a buzzing or humming sound at drain time, or you're getting drain error codes, there's a good chance a small item like a sock, coin, or hair tie got sucked into the drain pump. This is one of the most common washer problems and is almost always a free fix.
