I opened the lid and as soon as I shut it again it started working and completed the cycle. Ever since then every cycle when the drum has to stop in between cycle to finish washing and start rinse or even when it finishes spin it stops with this loud thundering noise. The machine has not moved eversince then and I am careful to distribute the load. the machine is otherwise operating perfectly, with no whining sounds. Am not a very hands on person to please explain like you would to a complete layman.:)

An easy fix for this is to apply a small dab of sil-glyde lubricant to the inside vertical surface of the brake hub. You will need to remove the cabinet to gain access. How to Disassemble Whirlpool/Kenmore Direct Drive Washer - YouTube Use a small screwdriver or other suitable tool to place a dab of this lubricant to an area of the inside vertical surface of the brake hub where the brake shoes are currently not in contact with. When machine goes into spin again, the brake shoes will pick up and spread the lubricant around the hub. The brakes will still work sufficiently but won't grab hard and stop the tub so suddenly.
