My washer is making a huge noise at the end like the tub is banging back so loud I can hear upstairs in my house I have cleaned the drain. I know it was not draining and I fixed that problem I think the clothes were to heavy now it's making this loud banging noise in the spin cycle.
Questa è una buona domanda?

This can be so many things, hopefully you can narrow it down further since you know the machines history.
Tub Bearing
If the washer is making a loud noise the tub bearing might need to be replace. This is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. The manufacturer recommends that if possible the complete outer tub and bearing be replaced rather than attempting to replace just the bearing in the tub. If the bearing is bad the problem is going to get worse very quickly and so either the drum and bearing will need to be replaced or the washing machine.
Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
If the washer is making loud noise the tub seal and bearing kit might need to be replace. This is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the bearing is bad the problem is going to get worse very quickly and so either the tub seal and bearing kit will need to be replaced or the washing machine.
Rear Drum with Bearing
If the washer is making a loud noise the rear drum with bearing might need to be replace. On this washer the bearing might not be sold separately, the entire rear drum might have to be replaced. This is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. However, the problem is going to get worse very quickly and so either the drum and bearing will need to be replaced or the washing machine.

Drive Pulley
If the washer is making a loud noise the drive pulley might be worn out, cracked, loose or bent. Remove the drive pulley and inspect it carefully. If it is damaged or defective replace it.
Pulley
If the washer is making a loud noise the drive pulley may be worn out. If the drive pulley is loose or wobbling it will need to be replaced
Motor Coupling
If the washer is making a loud noise the motor coupling might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is overloaded in order to protect both the motor and transmission.
Clutch
If the washer is making a loud noise in the spin cycle, the clutch assembly might be worn out. The clutch assembly makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. It is designed to allow the tub to get up to the proper spin speed gradually. As the clutch wears out it may become loud during spin or just after the spin cycle finishes. The clutch is not repairable, if it is loud or not working properly it will need to be replaced.
Drive Belt
If the washer is making a loud noise the drive belt might be defective. Over time the drive belt will dry out and start cracking, eventually a piece of the belt can break off resulting in a loud noise whenever the motor is running.
Transmission
If the washer is making a loud noise the transmission might be worn out or defective. There are many other more likely causes for noise from a washer. If the noise turns out to be caused by the transmission it may have to be replaced.
Drain Pump
If the washer is making a loud noise the drain pump might be going bad or might have something caught in it. Remove the drain pump from the washer and inspect it carefully. Look for anything that might be caught in it, a piece of wire, plastic, etc. If nothing is wrong with the pump, but it's still noisy it will have to be replaced.
Drive Motor
If the washer is making a loud noise the drive motor bearings may have worn out. Washer motors are normally almost silent when they run. If the motor is run without a belt hooked up to it and it's loud it will have to be replaced.
.
Water Inlet Valve
If the washer is noisy or loud, particularly when the washer is filling, the water inlet valve may be at fault. The noise can be caused by a restriction in the valve from mineral deposits. If it is the water inlet valve that's loud during the fill cycle it will need to be replaced. It is not safe to take apart these valves as they can fail and flood after disassembly.

Hey guys i had same issue, my washer made a loud thumping noise at the end of spin cycle, when the spinning stops. The drive block was at fault. i removed the drive block and one side of it was chip(refer the photo for it. sorry if it is not that clear)
. i bought the drive block from a local abco appliance store, he also suggested to use WD40 on the brake 'something' as the brake stops too quickly which causes drive block to chip from one side and it will keep happening to the new drive block too after a while. I am not sure about the WD40 thing but drive block should definitely be the issue

Hi, Chinmay. I have a feeling this is my problem, too, but the noise started after I installed a new drive block. It was a tight fit over the shaft, so it was difficult to align the tabs and hammer it into place. Were you able to place the drive block, so that the tabs protruded from the top of the drive block? By the way, I did spray everything with WD40.
Problem seems to be solved with getting the tabs aligned just right with the slots on the drive block. It turns out I was not strong enough to push and hammer the drive block into place, but my husband was. I also think that the few test loads I ran may have made the drive block not as tight and easier to place.

This addressed many kinds of noise a front loader might make t but not the specific one described. Its he kind of answer given by someone trying to be helpful, who knows a lot, but doesn't listen carefully before replying. Been there, done it myself.
Virtually none of these "causes" would create e a loud bang ONLY at the end of the spin cycle with NO other noises during operation.
A bad clutch, which this model/series does NOT HAVE, might.
A bad mechanical transmission, which this model/series does NOT HAVE, might.
A sudden violent noise would happen at the end of a smooth silent spin cycle ONLY if the breaking action caused something heavy to move that was loose, or a supporting part or rettraint was binding .
-spin basket spider (cracked arm or loose)
-shock absorber binding.
-motor mount
-counterweight bolts loose, unlikely on Electrolux division washers - the weights are molded to fit recesses in the plastic outer tub.

loud noise when stops spinning
Solved...Had the same problem with a 2001 He3t front loader....checked all the mentioned items but sounded more like a banging due to something hitting the cabinet....change shock absorber (4) which helped but did not quieten the noise....more investigation led to the lower front panel clanging against the cabinet at top lip and sides (only attaching screws are across the bottom of the panel) so install thin felt pads across top and down sides...replaced the panel and now the machine is so quite you can't hear the spin cycle unless you stand in front of the machine....easy, cheap and simple fix....

How did you get access across the top and down the sides? Have any pictures?
I have changed the two dampers in the washing machine and it continues making the same noise as before when spinning.

My kenmire washer makes a loud clanking banging noise at the end of the cycle. Spin. It is perfectly balanced.

Run an empty load. If noises persist something in the washer is broken and moving too much.
1. With a load the shock absorbers at the bottom restrain imbalance movement during spin cycles. If one is broken when the washer will try to increase spin speed the basket will move too much and the control circuit will slow, stop and reverse motor direction, trying to rebalance the load.
2. With a medium load of medium size clothes (check the owners manual for a recommended load) , the washers will reverse direction several times before going into progressively faster spinning. Set spin speed to oow, use the delicate cycle. If the spin speed gets up to its max during final spin (in 3 steps) the motor is good, the controller is good. If banging occurs during this process, check the shock absorbers.
3. If a short loud bang occurs ONLY at the very end of the spin cycle, possibly followed by knocking, a shock absorber could be binding(cheap easy fix), or one of the inner basket support arms could be cracked :-C .
